Welcome to Fresh Sewing Day hosted by Lily's Quilts - a day to look back at what you've accomplished in the last month, as well as consider the project you most enjoyed.
I was somewhat surprised when I 'collected' all the bee and charity blocks I made in November!
There were also four completed projects. The full-size Swoon, of course, felt like a real accomplishment, and I really like it. But due to its size, quilting it was pretty challenging, and not always enjoyable. (I did really enjoy quilting my Swoon neck-and-neck with Heather of Crafting... We completed our quilts the same weekend - look at her beauty here!)
So I think what really gave me the most pleasure was the Scrappy Super Swoon, just because it was different, and I love how the finished quilting looks. Mini 'X' was also a joy to make, and I was pretty proud, I guess, to figure out the pattern by myself, try some free-motion quilting, and come up with a tutorial to share. {here}
So that's my month in a nutshell - lots of Swoon/stars, and plenty of 'x's. And a ton of fun.
Linking up with Fresh Sewing Day and Minutes for Me.
Wow, Debbie! You had a really big month!
