Happy New Year - 2012 Review.


Happy New Year everyone!!

First off, I'd like to say a big thank you to all of you for visiting my blog throughout the year. It makes me feel all warm inside to know that so many of you like my blog enough to keep coming back to visit regularly.

I have a lot of fun doing my posts and try to keep it interesting for you.

2012 was just the best year for me.
In February, I took up the Free Motion Quilting Challenge and have not looked back.  I finally mastered quilting feathers and it has had a huge impact on my work.  It is all done on a domestic sewing machine.

Here are just a few of my favourite peices from this year:


                                                                      Butterfly quilt.


                                              Fishy Wall Hanigng

                                            
                                                 Oranges and Lemons Quilt

                               
                                                     Batik Prairie Point Quilt.

  
                                               Big Star Quilt with Feathers.


                                       Experimenting with quilting and painting on silk.

                                                     
                                                       FMQ Feathers.

And my proudest moment of 2012 ?.......  Winning my first ribbons..

....... at the Scottish Quilt Championships.

Can't wait to see what's instore for this year. Bring it on!!
I wish all of you the best for 2013 and hope you will continue to visit.
Thanks for all your encouragement and kind words.
