A year well spent

Until I made these mosaics I genuinely felt as though I hadn't done that much sewing this year. It always seems like something else takes precedent, like the kids or work or the dog or eating or sleeping - you know how it is. And then I had a look at my photos and nearly fell over.

There were a few bags

Some bee blocks and charity blocks

Dipping a toe back into dressmaking

One or two things for the house

A couple of mini quilts

And some bigger quilts (including the mahoosive bloom)

But the highlight of the bloggy year for me was the Pervalong - look at all these amazing quilts! I love them all.
Thank you all for your comments and support this year - I've made some great friends (in real life and online) and I can't wait to see what 2013 brings. Happy New Year!

    I've loved reading your blog this year, always guaranteed to raise a smile and an extreme bout of envy at how lovely all your makes are. I'm also very humbled at having made you as a friend this year, and having been on the receiving end of some of those lovely items. Can't wait to see what 2013 brings for us :-)
