2016 Finishes

I am proud to list my 2016 finishes.

I participated in the 2016 APQ UFO challenge and finished 6 in 2016 and 2 the first month of 2016.  Those 2 are not listed here.

One of the things that happens to me is that projects creep up due to a new pattern or idea or wanting to teach something new at the LQS, Cambridge Quilt Shop.  One example is the Fancy Forrest Quilt. The story goes like this:  A new pattern arrives at the store....  OH  AH  must have it to make someday....  Then, I think, hmmm maybe I'll make a store sample.  Suddenly, I remember a special baby arriving and say that baby is getting this quilt.  And, there goes the distraction and a new project is added to the list.

Without much further ado, here is the 2016 list.

Percy Doodle, a finished mini quilt

Here's a little quilt I made last year.  I saw a call from Made by Marney for pictures of dogs.  I sent her one of mine and she turned him into a pattern.   Her version is in grey but it kept Percy's name.  I had fun gathering some fabrics from my stash and creating this likeness of our  wonderful dog.  This was not on my to do list, but I was so thrilled when she turned his picture into a pattern.  You can see her rendition and the picture I sent her here.  You may notice a watermark on the picture.  This is one of the things that slowed me up on my blog.   I decided I don't have to be consistent with it, but I will try to do this more often, and get better at it (I know the color is nearly impossible to see). 

There are two fun features on this quilt.  One is that I did a two fabric binding, from another blog that I follow sewfreshquilts.  It was easy and I love finish.  The back isn't quite perfect, but I'll get it there.

 And finally, there is this new label.  I saw ones that Yvonne @ Quilting Jetgirl ordered and I was hooked.  I had different labels before but never this many.  I ordered them from Kim @Tagtopia and they came promptly.  This is the first quilt I added them to and while I will do other labels by hand, I also love the idea of adding these.
