Best of 2018

Cheryl, at Meadow Mist Designs, is hosting her 4th annual linky party to celebrate our best blog posts of the year. It was fun going back through my posts to see which I'd choose as the best of the year. Cheryl sets no rules for what qualifies a post as one of the best, so I have a mish mash of bests to share today 😊

Back in January Nathan tore a huge hole in a pair of pajama pants and we decided to use the remaining fabric as the arms and legs of a monster. It was fun to make it with him and he still sleeps with it every night.

These next two go together under the category of "tackling new things." First, there's my Necessary Clutch Wallet. I use this all the time (it's my only purse) and I get a lot of compliments on it.

And then there's my maxi skirt that I made out of knit fabric, conquering my fear of fabric that stretches! I'm actually wearing this skirt as I type this post 😊 I got more knit fabric for Christmas, so there will be more clothing in the near future.

I gifted quite a few quilts this year. There was Night Sky to my Dad for Christmas, Northern Woods to my father-in-law and Reach for the Stars to my mother-in-law (both for their 50th wedding anniversary) and Cross Stitch Heart to my grandmother for her birthday. I couldn't decide which was my favourite, so here are both Cross Stitch Heart and Reach for the Stars 😊

 And one last best, for the accomplishment I'm most proud of this year, my printed patterns! I'm still so excited about this and I'm looking forward to having lots more patterns printed in 2019 😊
