2020 Finishes

 Oh what a strange year it has been.  Here are the 2020 finishes I can think of for this year.

My favorite is my Garden Party quilt that I gifted to a very dear friend.  Garden Party design by Bonnie Hunter.

I finished the #Spidersewalong quilt and gifted it to our son.  This is a Pen & Paper Design pattern.  This was a sew along on Instagram.  I considered it one big block and figured it wouldn't take long to have a finish.

I finished my Wings of Spring quilt.  Blocks for this quilt were won in the Block Lotto.

I finished this #SSSSQ quilt.  It was a quilt along lead by Kevin the Quilter.

The quilt that is on our bed is my Ohio quilt made with 2.5" squares.  I drew it on graph paper.  It is a huge, California King, quilt.  Certain cities have the city names embroidered on them.  After Garden Party, this is my second favorite quilt that I have made.

This is a simple, but useful finish.  I use it as a mug rug/coaster next to my computer. I made this during the month we used up purple scraps during the RSC20.  In the photo it is sitting on my wool pressing mat that was a splurge for this year.  It was a great investment for pressing quilt blocks.

My husband finished the bathroom in the "other house".  It was a big project for him while he took several months off work during 2020.

I finished the Catchin' Some Rays quilt this year.  This started out as a Slow Sunday Stitching project.  I replaced the applique flowers in the pattern for hexagon flowers.  I wanted to learn how to do that.  This quilt was one of the ones I gifted to my neighbor's granddaughter.

I finished the hand embroidery and cross stitch on this holiday apron.  I found this partially stitched WIP in a bin at a local thrift shop and rescued and finished it.  It was a nice sized project to take along with me to school in my sew-to-go bag.  I do miss working with students but I know my place is home with our son.  He is doing AMAZING with remote learning.

...and don't forget the countless masks...  I didn't make as many as others, but I did make a few.

This ginger bread man table topper was also a finish.  The little blocks also fit into my sew-to-go bag for hand stitching.  It now hangs in my kitchen.

Another favorite finish, Short & Sweet -- pattern by Kim Diehl, was finished early this year.  It was another item started in my sew-to-go bag that I carried with me from place to place.

Happy New Year!
