the following year, I noted that I had "only" made seven quilts.
last year, I patted myself on the back for raising that number to eight.
this year, instead of lamenting the production of a mere six quilts, I am instead going to celebrate the fourth year of thinking to do an end of year retrospective on a blog that generally doesn't have much of an agenda.
1. plaid quilt, 2. weiner dog baby quilt, 3. owl quilt, 4. owl pincushion, 5. mod baby quilt, take 2 (licorice allsorts color version), 6. fair isle baby quilt, 7. back of Plain Spoken quilt - Albers inspired, 8. Plain Spoken quilt
I slipped in a nonquilt photo to have a symmetrical layout - an owl pincushion I made for my mom for Christmas (since she apparently THREW OUT the last pincushion I made her*).
I used Moonstitches' tutowlrial. I like how it turned out. and the pattern comes together pretty easily, and I'm not one to really like a project that requires hand sewing. I think my mom liked it too.
normally I round out my Annual Quilt Retrospection with some forward-looking remarks about what new projects I hope to take on. I haven't really made any grand plans though, other than ordering a fatty stack of Kona cottons from Fabric Shack for another half-square triangle quilt.
* technically, she deserves credit for keeping it over twenty five years even though it was a Girl Scouts craft monstrosity made out of painted popsicle sticks and some styrofoam.

I love the owl pin cushion. I missed your * the first time I read your posting, I was about to post that I had kept the old one for 25 years. Hopefully the owl will be around for 25 years :)
When the Christmas decor is put away, the neat owl wall quilt will be back on the dining room wall.
You had another year of beautiful projects. Lucky me...to be the recipient of two of them.
