I'm still learning to use a new photo editing program, so my collage is a little wonky, but here are all the major quilting and textile art projects I successfully completed this year.
Some backstories:
I was quite upset when I sewed the violet strip quilt top on Election Night 2020 -- I deal with very difficult things by sewing -- but I'm glad I finished making it into a quilt this year. I'm keeping this one for my personal collection.
The violet silk crazy tote was supposed to be a Mother's Day gift; my mom died in April. I finished it and still have it, but I will probably give it to someone eventually. It's an emotional piece.
My summer art quilt taught me a lot. It also helped me cope with grief and depression by keeping me busy.
My Lake House runner was probably my first truly joyful project this year; I made it for myself, and really loved making the vintage patchwork into something useful and pretty.
My recycled beach tote gave me a chance to breathe and find peace after my favorite person moved to the other end of the country.
My repurposed red, white and silver cutter quilt tote was just a project for fun. I really enjoyed rescuing that old lovely quilt block, and it felt like the perfect way to wrap up my quilting year.
I had a lot of sadness to deal with in 2021, but thanks to my textile art I've finished the year on a positive note. I'm ready to begin 2022 with a peaceful and grateful mindset, which is really why I do this. May you do the same.
