MY 2017 REPORT--

I have spent some time making lists--
but this one is not a 'to do' list--
this one is a "what I have done' list--
And for me 2017 was a big year--
Usually I start alot of bom in Jan and by Mar/April I fall
off the band wagon and slow way down--
way down--

But I am happy to say that is year--
I kept on going--
and nearly all the bom's that I started with--
I stayed with and kept up--
There is only a couple that I am a bit behind on--

My two biggest accomplishments for me are-
this pretty quilt--

going from just pieces to the final finish and is now on my bed everyday--
This one took me about 4 years or longer to finally finish it--

and I am happy that this one went from--

Just the few blocks at the top photo--
to the completed top here--
this one was along time in happening--

and even some of this years bom's got put into  finished quilt tops--
like this Christmas one--
and--

 this one --the teapot one--

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
So here is the tally--
I got--
six quilts with backing and batting and basting done for hand quilting--
(though these have not been hand quilted as of yet--!!)

Then--

I had a total of 13 finishes this year--
I really don't think I have ever gotten that many done before!!

Also got a total of 8 quilt tops finished--
ready now for the backing, batting, and hand basting--

I did 5 other projects and finished them--
like the pillows for my son,
and a cat tote bag for Anne for her birthday--

and in knitting--
I knitted and gifted 4 pairs of socks--
one finger-less glove set--gifted
one finger-less glove set with scraf--gifted
and at least a dozen baby sweaters for donations--

And I almost got Block #12 of the wool bom finished-
and it should get to that point yet tonight while waiting for the
BALL to drop at midnight!!!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Ok--now if I could just decide on next year's goals--?????????
hey--I still got 5 1/2 hours to decide--
why rush it!!!!!!!!!!!

          ENJOY THE MOMENTS, DI
