My quilting has almost come to a halt getting ready for Christmas. This afghan (in progress above) took almost a month of my time. A friend commissioned me to make it (meaning I got paid!) and it took me over a month. The good news is the recipient (another friend) absolutely loved it.
The good news is that I used 295.5 yards of fabric this year. The bad news is that I bought 143.25 yards. But, my mantra this year was not to buy fabric that didn't have an immediate purpose. I stook to that- almost! So some that was bought was put into quilts right away. I ended up the year using 155 yards from my stash- so not bad.
I made 22 quilts this year. Next year I hope to step up the level of my skill and make less- 12 or so (not counting the baby quilts for gifts of friends new grandbabies). And I hope to work on my machine quilting skills. I participated in Judy L's 2011 UFO Challenge and I completed 11 UFO's. December's is still staring at me because of the above afghan. It was great to get those done!
Merry Christmas everyone!
