End of a year and decade

Slippers donated to Frontier Missions. Quilts donated to frontier Missions.


Starting a new quilt. I have one loaded on the quilting machine, Bonnie's new mystery quilt and this one started with the piecing. Here is a picture of the thread spools from this year. 53 spools and 97 pre-wound bobbin carcasses.


The tree skirt I made for my son and my favorite DIL. I had to wait until after Christmas to post so I wouldn't ruin the surprise.




A hat a knit and gave to a friend for her daughter. Mittens I knit for my grandson. I knit three pair of these mitten, two for Otis and one for a friends grandson.

I think that is every thing. I gave away all the slippers, to co-workers and to Frontier Missions. I gave 11 quilts to Frontier Missions this year and 9 of the other quilted projects.

I think all in all is was a productive year. I did numerous Tea Parties and a couple fun vacations with my family.

I look forward to what 2010 has in store. I hear tell there maybe a new grand baby on the way. I am waiting to find out more information tomorrow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

May God show us how to save this great nation.
End of year Blessings

I'm impressed with the amount of spools you've used! Is it all just from piecing/hand sewing? Or does that stash include long arming thread also?

Leah, the pre-wounds are from long arm but the rest are from piecing and hand sewing.

Oh my goodness, you got so much done this year! And I love your spool carcasses! I am going to do that this year. Happy New Year!

A very productive year for sure. I am saving my spools this year also.
