15 years?! Yes. I recounted just to make sure.
Over the course of the last several weeks, I've noticed folks posting pictures from 2016. I'm still not sure why, but I thought it would be an interesting way to approach this year's blog anniversary. In 2016, I had been blogging for 5 years - not a newbie by any means, but obviously still early in my journey. But looking back, I see it was a big year for me, creatively speaking.
Mod Mood, my initial quilt with Bee Sewcial, won first place in the Group/Bee category at QuiltCon.
Steeped in Tradition was my first quilt sale, also at QuiltCon.
I got my JUKI! There was so much to love about it, and it was my primary machine until last June.
The making of Yay or Nay was a profound experience, reminding me still, "Don't be afraid of getting it wrong."
I hosted the Crosscut Quilt-Along, and had 52 participants join in trying out this fun improv technique.
I made my second Bee Sewcial quilt, Baconrific, named by my then 6yo granddaughter, and it remains a favorite.
So why the focus on 2016, when I'm actually celebrating a 15 year anniversary? Well, I couldn't have remembered all that good stuff without keeping track of these events here on the blog. A Quilter's Table is indeed still a pretty fine vehicle for following my own creative journey. It holds snapshots of of events and creations large and small, and just as importantly, has been an excellent space to engage with my maker community. Thanks, as always, for being here, and sharing the journey.
