I was thinking I hadn’t done much sewing in 2011, then I made a mosaic. I realized that I have done LOTS of sewing. I only made two full size quilts this past year, but I made lots of smaller items. Here is my mosaic. I didn’t figure out how to add the captions, so I’ll list what they are below the photo.
Left to right, top to bottom: 1. Mug rug, my Yukon home, I kept this one. 2. Hanging case for my measuring spoons. 3. Mug rug for Beth, Mug Rug Swap Adventure # 1. 4. Pin cushion for Isijem, Scrappy Pincushion Swap. 5. Toadstool pin cushion, this one was for me. 6. Brown bag quilt top. I would like to get this one backed and quilted this year. 7. Hot pad made for Jody in the Hot Pad Swap. 8. Mug rug for Helen, Goodie Swap. 9. Mini quilt for Beth, 12 X 12 Something from Nothing Swap. 10. Garbage mini quilt.

I participated in lots of swaps this year! I also participated in a couple of round robins – the 15 Minutes Play Challenge, the Crazy Pincushion Quilt Along, – and five monthly block swaps – Adventure Block Swap, Christmas Block Swap, 6 inch Block Swap, Inchy Hexagon Swap and Victoria’s New Bee Block Swap.
I am behind on three obligations from 2012: a scissor keep for Kerry, a pay it forward for Cheryl and a cat block for Em.
For 2012 I am determined that I won’t sign up for so many swaps. I’ve already signed up for three though….Somebody please rein me in!
Other big events for 2011: my 8000 kilometer journey across Canada in February, starting a new job at the beginning of August, a great potato crop this summer, a really nice trip with DH in November.
I don’t know what 2012 will bring but I have lots of intentions for being a nicer person, spreading more love and being happy.

Looks like lots of lovely things from 2011 - good luck with the swaps for 2012 - they are a little addictive I suspect.
