So on this New Year I look over my accomplishments since the last post. I do actually keep a list of project completed each year (organizational side again) so let's see….
Marin wanted a specific dress to wear for Owen's first birthday. She described it, we found a pattern that would work and then looked for fabrics. The result!? A chevron navy and white halter dress - very nautical and she looked great in it.

The skirt was supposed to be pleated and the pattern cut in more of a "circle". I had to adapt it to a straight line pleat, and was pleasantly surprised that the zigs lined up with the zags and it worked out!
I didn't actually complete any quilt projects last year. I see that I several tops underway that are still waiting to be quilted YEARS later. Where does the time go? I've made several baby items, and pieced a few tops. This better be the finishing year. Here is a project I am working on from the scraps from owens' baby quilt.
I'd like this to be a large floor pillow for Owen to flop on to read books in his room. I am using this Floor Pillow tutorial as a guideline for putting it together with the leftover 2.5" strips.
That's all for now - wishing you a year of completions too!
