2013 in Review

It appears that I was not as productive quilt-wise this year as I was in 2012. I claim that the turmoil of two retirements, more travel, and home remodeling were the handicapping culprits. I made only two quilts, start to finish during 2013. They were gifts, one of which I free-motion quilted myself. Two of my five claimed 2013 completions were started before January 2013. Other quilts that I started earlier than 2013, but have not yet finished, are not listed here. There are many. One of the five quilts I did not even make at all, but won in a raffle. 

But I did make other smaller items. Here is my completions list for 2013, followed by pictures and headings only. Details are in my past posts. Scroll fast! If nothing else, it's a nice browse of fabrics. At the very end (maybe no one will read that far) are my 2014 quilting resolutions.

• 5 quilts
• 3 pillow cases
• 2 child dresses
• 9 holiday items
• 29 burp cloths
