My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

2018- Quilting Year in Review- July through December

The second half of 2018 definitely showed a slow down in productivity.  I spend a lot of time with my grand daughter Eva in the summer, and we also had a major trip, plus there were all those holidays…

That is a good one to end with I think.  I didn't do much sewing in December, other than about two dozen microwave bowl cozies.  

2018 was an excellent year for me, without a doubt my most prolific ever.  I think I need to slow down a bit more in 2019.  I feel as if I was in a bit of a fever to get things done last year.  I want to savor the process more in 2019.

  7. They’re small & fun so Christmas Pines & Three Trees are on my list to try this coming year! It seems that we go through cycles with quilting from no mojo to prolific. Your quilts are beautiful & you should be proud of so many finishes this past year!

  28. I like your year-end review, Nicole. I don’t know if I’ve ever told you that way back 10 years or so, I came across your blog, found that your style closely matched my own, and that led me to start my own blog. I thank you for being my inspiration, and after all these years, I still follow your blog, while many others have bitten the proverbial dust! I hope your 2019 is equally productive!
