This year, sewing has had to take a back seat and so I knew
there wouldn’t be a great deal to show for my end of year round up. As you can
see, quilts are conspicuous by their absence though I have two quilt tops
waiting to be quilted and bound for Project Linus, but they will appear in next
year’s finishes. This year’s sewing has been mainly bags and small quick
projects, but I am pleased to have finished the blocks for the Morris Hexathon
and hope to have this quilt finished early next year.
Sadly I no longer have “Not Our Cat” to be a furry pattern
weight and help me with my sewing. Leukaemia and old age took its toll and his owners (our
neighbours), knowing how much time he spent with us, kindly came over to tell us so that
we were not left wondering what had happened to him.
However, before he went he started training an understudy
and so I now have “Not Our Cat 2” (from the same neighbours!) helping me pick
fabrics and ensuring that all future projects will still have the black fur
seal of approval.
Planning for next year, I want to continue to try to use
stash (the cotton sheets and incubator covers I made this year were great stash
busters), to finish the two Project Linus quilts and my Morris Hexathon quilt,
and to find a new EPP block a month/week project. Though I think my first challenge for 2017 will be to try to resist the bargains in the sales that have now started.
you might not have made quilts Sara bu you certainly made plenty of other things. Good to see the cat photos and you now have a new friend.

No matter what sewing you've not done. As long as you've enjoyed the sewing you have done, that's what matters. Keep on enjoying
