I better get this post out before the end of January! I’ve enjoyed seeing 2021 crafting retrospectives by my blogging buddies and thought I would do one myself.
So here is it is gallery format:








































On one hand it seems like I made a lot of things in 2021, and on the other hand it seems like I definitely did not make all that I planned!
I am avoiding for some reason (unknown) any official New Year’s Resolutions this year but I would like to challenge myself to make more things in 2022 than I did in 2021.
I wish you an awesome year of creativity in 2022!

Tierney I’m in tears. Your Pioneer Poet quilt. Oh Tierney, what an honor to be able to *tears* to be in your presence and experience your brilliance. I love all of your work but your quilts always give me a lump in the throat and dewey cheeks. I’m too emotional to finish this (typing through tears). Thank you. Just THANK YOU- thank you for your immeasurable about of dignity and beauty you contribute to defining humanity through the arts.

Oh my goodness you are too kind, thanks! Your thoughtful comments are giving me tears! I might have to print out your comment and frame it for my studio to inspire me to keep creating whenever I am struggling 🙂

Thanks so much Beth! I think my favorite was the one that was most challenging to make – the Langston Hughes quilt, thanks for asking 🙂

You made a lot in 2021 and they are all fantastic! I am with you in the not making crafting resolutions – maybe being more organic is the way to go. I sporadically craft, been in a lull recently, people assure me there is nothing wrong with that. January is always a month to reflect a bit and think ahead but there is only so much thinking one can do then it’s time for a hot drink and a book!

I don’t think you necessarily need to make more…rather…make what makes your heart sing.

Shall we just call it “the year of the bag”? 😀 It’s all beautiful, and now I want to make one of those striped quilts!

Yes we should call it that, it does appear that way 🙂
Thanks and you need to add the quilts you like to your list (which I am sure is very short of projects in queue – ha!)
