2019 Quilting Recap

Looking back at what I finished this year, I feel I was very productive. I am very proud of what I accomplished for 2019. I made a top nine photo to post of my creations on Instagram that I was very proud of. I picked specifically only finished projects. I didn't want to include stuff that hasn't been quilted because they feel half done.

Top Nine Projects of 2019

For total projects I finished:

1. A Rose for My Boyfriend
2. Purple Cat convention Bag
3. Tumbler Blocks Baby Quilt
4. Focus Freeway Camera hanging
5. Fruit Salad Quilt

12. Christmas Tree Table Runner and Star mug rug - this I just finished yesterday!

Happy New Year! I can't wait to begin the project list for next year.

Focus Freeway

So I probably should have waited on making my last post because I had that project finished within an hour of posting it. I took a few extra minutes of getting the binding prepared and finding binding fabric.

I couldn't find the remnant of the grey I used for the camera body but I did find a scrap of grey fabric I did have. The binding is not perfect and there are a few non-pretty sections but I'm not worried. I plan to make at least 3 more as presents for some of my friends who are into photography. I stopped at my cousin's house and got a nice final photo for it by her tulips.

I do have an Instagram that I put my finished photos on plus whatever else I feel like putting on there. I've got a link here if you want to check it out.

Focus Freeway Mini Project

You would think a project the size of this pattern would be done in a few hours. Let me tell you when you sprinkle it between two other projects it takes a lot longer. I picked this pattern up at Quiltcon in Feb and decided I had the perfect scraps for it to put together one.

I was still working on the Halloween hanging when I cut out the applique pieces for the camera and set them aside. I used the leftovers from a charm pack of Palm Canyon by Violet Craft. I even managed to take a break and assemble everything while I was working on the baby quilt.

Now I was going to go straight to quilting this one, and even got it pinned when I finished the baby quilt. But I had a dream that could not be ignored and quickly assembled a top that I now plan on writing a pattern for. Before I start pattern writing though I am going to finish this little project. I've got the quilting started and now it's a matter of choosing the binding.

Tea today is a choice from my collection. I went with Duchess Delight. It's a caramel warm vanilla flavored tea. Funny I was looking at this photo and noticed three of these teas can be described with those same words.
