Are you all breathing a big "Whew!" like I am? Wow! This Christmas was amazing! But even the best of times are a little stressful. I'm glad things are getting back to normal.
Cheryl Brickey of Meadow Mist Designs is hosting her annual Best of 2018 linky party so I'm joining in the fun.
My 2018 post with the most comments and also my favorite big finish was the Modern Plus Sign Quilts Blog Hop with 55 comments.
My most viewed post of 2018 was the one about my $1.50 quilt with over 2200 views! Apparently we quilters LOVE a good deal. Here is the finished flimsy. I have a pretty pastel lavender floral in my stash that I'll be using on the back. Hopefully this will be a 2019 finish.
My favorite small finish of 2018 was a quilt I made for my youngest granddaughter. Her mom liked it so much she wants a purple version for her older sister. It's currently a WIP (work in progress). I had fun taking photos of this one and even knocked on a complete stranger's door to ask permission to user her yard and porch for photos! She loved it! You can read about that here.
BEFORE
AFTER
I'm still not quite done. I'm still putting fabrics on boards and after I'm all done, I'll organize by color. So those are my favorites of the year.
I just spent the day sewing up a brand new flimsy! It is completely done! PLUS my daughter is sewing her first baby quilt today too. She is so excited about her progress! ME TOO!
I'll blog about that tomorrow.
Wishing you all a fantastic finish to 2018 and a very Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteI love the plus quilt! The backing is awesome!
ReplyDeleteAll great projects. I had planned to sew more this Christmas break, but I didn't sew as much as I had planned. I need routine, so as much as I've enjoying having time off, it will be good to get back into my regular routine. Here's to a great 2019.
ReplyDeleteBlack and white is always a winning combo and yours is no exception. Lovely projects were worked on during the year.
