And what did I make to keep?

So during the past year, in addition to all the charity projects I made and donated to others, I was able to finish many of the unfinished projects I brought to Alabama with me, as well as begin and begin to completion some new projects.

I crocheted a hat for Alex in his favorite colors, black, red and white. He likes to wear a winter hat to keep his head warm.

I made and finished five quilts for the grandkids this year. Three were a beautiful 4-Patch Posie design for Gabriella, Sophia and Isabella Dailey. Each had a different backing and binding. One was a quilt called Formal Garden in teal and purple for Angelina Dailey (age 3-1/2). The fifth was a Quick Trip Around the World quilt in sparkly winter blues for Kieran Dailey.

I made a brocade quilt from home dec fabrics given to me by a friend. It is made of gold brocade and cranberry sashing. It graces the back of our couch now.

I finished a quilt made from fat quarters and coordinating hand-dyed fabrics (dyed by my mother). I had started the quilt before I left Oregon.

I finished a Lonestar design table centerpiece that had been abandoned into an orphan block box, which went to a Moody Quilters guild member.

I knitted a hat for myself from nubby yarn in blues.

I made two knitted head wraps, one in hand-painted wool yarn for myself, and one in black and grey cotton for Terry (when he's working in the yard). My mother developed the pattern.

I made two wall hangings: One when I took my mother's workshop on landscapes (seaside trees in Hawaii) and one called Silhouettes for Tabitha Hanner, Terry's daughter.

I finished a wall hanging that had been in my sister's unfinished quilt top pile for several years. I finished it and sent it back to her for Christmas.

I made a miniature quilt called Storm at Sea out of turquoise and white fabrics.

I made two pressing and cutting stations, one mini and one larger.

I made two iron totes, one of them a mini size for my travel iron.

I made a pair of shower slippers out of some yardage I had put together with asian fabrics in a crazy quilt design.

I made a cosmetics organizer out of the fabric my mother designed.

I finished the quilt I call 16-patch Radiance (which warrants a blog post of its own).
