Happy New Year friends. I've enjoyed seeing a few other bloggers do a recap of 2009 via pictures during the past week. It made me go search back through MY last 12 months, feeling like I hadn't really accomplished that much. But, of course, I actually did get quite a bit done, amongst all the caring for grandchildren and whatnot :-) I was going to do a month by month accounting but I just don't have the words in me right now so instead I put together a little collage using picnik. I can't tell you how much I love that site for photo editing. It's so smart and so easy to use. Anyway, here's some of my 2009 creations in a handy little nutshell.(click to enlarge).
Guess I had a pretty productive year after all. Here's what I made during the New Year's Day holiday.
I really do love working with selvages. Thinking up worthy projects to use my precious stash on is probably the hardest part of it.
So I'm off to a creative 2010 and I hope you are, too.
take good care.

absolutely LOVE the chair!

What lovely creations for 2009! And you're off to a great start for 2010 with the chair cover. I love it! I've been saving my selvages too but haven't tried to make anything yet. Your creativity is certainly inspiring...I like how you think 'outside the box.'

SWEET chair! Now mine wants a make-over! Do you think if I covered it in pink polka-dots my husband would stop stealing it?

I clicked to "enlarge" and the quilts in the photo are so beautiful! It is fun to look back and see everything that we have accomplished, even if some of them were forgotten.
I also want to make something out of my selvages. Any tips on how to sew them together?
Happy 2010!

Happy New Year to you Jen! You DID have a productive year. All of your quilts were and are absolutely fabulous. Love the chair cover...very clever. I think my favorite project by you so far is the bicycle basket!
Oh, by the way, I thought for sure that you edited Sophie's eyes in the last post. How very sci-fi of her. Too funny!
Enjoy your week!
