Quilting 2020

It's time for my annual review of the quilting year, which for me kind of looked like this:

Although I had an ambitious plan for my quilting this year, 2020 was such a disaster for me creatively I'm surprised I got anything done. So I'm just going to look back on what I was able to do and not worry about it.

Things started out okay with Theo's quilt.

I got started on my silk crazy quilt project, which ended up crashing and burning like the Hindenburg. Still, I got two blocks completed before the world went to hell. What follows from here will be slightly out of order, month-wise, and doesn't include everything I did, but I'm too tired this morning to really care.

This table runner turned out so well even my guy noticed it.

I was proud of myself for fixing this ugly tote.

Oliver's first birthday quilt turned out okay.

I did a lot of small art pieces like this one for my journals.

Mom's birthday quilt also turned out okay.

Making the sparkly fox tote was probably the most fun I had all year, quilting-wise.

I stopped sewing and quilting back in October for a couple of reasons: to do NaNoWriMo, and to let Kat use my sewing room for her painting. I haven't sewn a stitch since mid-November when I got my mojo back and the tsunami of writing started; I haven't wanted to. Right now all I want to do is write through the holidays and then see how I feel in January.

That's it for quilting during this dumpster fire of a year.

You're being way too hard on yourself! My quilt is lovely and hanging in my dining room. All of your other quilts are just as nice so give yourself a break and just enjoy what you did get done. Because it's a lot more than what I managed.
