2018 in review – volume 1

The beginning of the year!  When I am conscientious about moisturizing and blogging.  Here goes…

I made a lot in 2018 – lots of baby quilts, of course.  And finished up a lot of WIPs.  And I also did this magical thing where I abandoned projects I didn’t want to finish.  Very scary and liberating.  Just deciding not to do something I don’t want to do.  Hear me roar!

This is the first of a series of posts recapping my crafty accomplishments…  first up, stitchy and embroidery projects.  I wanted to do more seasonal decorating in 2019, so a couple projects are related to that…

I made some sweet little felt hearts to celebrate Valentine’s day on my Valentine’s day tree.  Pattern from Purl Soho.

And I made some wee felt eggs just in time for Easter.  Pattern and materials from Purl Soho.  I am feeling less like I want to do seasonal decorating in 2019 – and then I see these little sweeties.  I am torn.

I  finished several embroidery projects that I am very pleased with…  mostly Namaste Embroidery patterns.  In fact, all of them except the circles on the pillow and the pink bouquet.

 

And then there are 3 other random stitchy projects…

An abstraction of my wedding boquet, because I wanted to try fabric painting.

A floaty scarf with tassels.  This is another Purl Soho project.  I love the scarf.  I HATED making all those tassels.

A tiny dresden.  Just because.
