I did get a few things done this year (2015) -- some PJ bottoms for Summer, a shirt for Terry (still needs button holes) . . . . . and the following:

In January - A Masai themed twin quilt for Summer - bright & cheerful and happy memories. No pattern, just used the fabric I had found to best advantage


.

 

 2 aprons for our cabin, made from fabric my friend Sharyn designed. The photo is big so you can see the lovely forest critters she originally hand cut from paper.

 Quite a while ago, my daughter handed me the green hat on the left and 2 hanks of yarn (the blue and the magenta) and asked me to copy. Which I managed to do, modifying the pattern to the smaller yarn size.

And recently I finished my 2nd of twelve blocks for the "Vintage Valentine" quilt. If I keep on at this pace, it will be 20 years to completion, so I think I'd better speed up. My third is started. I really like the colors we chose (the original pattern calls for muted pinks and greens). But appliqueing that many scallops slowed me down.

Iron carrier

A great insulated iron carrier and pressing mat. This comes as a pattern with the heat-resistant fabric from Sister's Common Thread.  It's great because the iron can still be warm when it is packed up for travel.

Embroidered dresses quilt

Twelve embroidered panels, each featuring a dress on a dressmakers stand.  Look back through the blog, and you will see that I finished the first block in March, 2012, so I would estimate that the project took a full three years.  The last eight blocks were finished in Ireland (!).  Take a look at the intersections -- invented little shoes for some additional interest.

Hedgehog mittens

These Hedgehog mitten are a pattern from Morehouse Farms. The yarn is Morehouse Merino 2-Ply (sport weight, 220 yards per skein). Each of those hedgehog 'quills' are a cast on 5, bind off 5 stitch, so the project basically takes forever.  Cute, though, eh??
