Calgary has become home! Yes, I never thought I'd be confident driving in city traffic, specially as I'm cursed with the worst sense of direction on the planet, but it happened. I've lived in 3 houses in 2 years, quite a change for someone who lived in the same small town for 25 years. So feeling settled is BIG for me.
I've had so much fun learning more about quilting and changing my goals and preferences as I went. I'm sure there'll be lots more changes to come as I continue to experiment with different colours and styles.
Here's a few of my finishes for the year. Maybe there were more, but these are my favourites.
Then there was the busy Christmas sewing:
The WIPs
And there are some older UFOs and some quilts in the planning stage.
To my quilting friends, travel companions and blogging friends, thank you! I'm looking forward to a happy and productive 2012.
Happy New Year!!
