2014 Completions

You know you're tuned in to your hobbies when you have to read your own quilt blog to remember what the heck you did this year, right? Turns out, 2014 the Year of the Overdue Baby Quilt, as I caught up on all my Quiltworthy friends who'd had babies last year while I was still settling into motherhood and moving into our new house. All 3 of my quilt creations were gifts this year.

It was also the year I discovered the joy of smaller projects. Things like a garments for my daughter or a stuffed doll for my friend's nursery could be done in a weekend, and so were much easier to sneak in when I had only a few hours to enjoy my sewing machine's company. Going forward, I think I'll be concentrating on these sorts of things more, because they give me the thrill of a completed item without so much staring longingly at my WIP shelves between sewing sessions.
