blessings

I love working playing at the LQS a couple of days a week.
It is a great reproduction and wool only shop
and the owners are WONDERFUL folks. 

I feel very blessed to be able to work at Good Wives Co. 

and contribute to the quilt-y-ness

in my small part of the world. 

I get to help choose fabrics,

see new products & patterns,

and

smile everyday
not only during work,

but on the drive there and back!

I have been busy this year
 at home, too, working playing 
with the long-arm quilting machine - "Big DD". 

 I just did a quick count of quilts (pictured on this blog),

and I have gotten to meander and quilt across
 +/- sixty-five.

65!!! 

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed! 

I didn't count as I stitched,

so this number is a nice surprise to me :).

  I just knew I was having fun quilting along!

 

I also am blessed with great friends...
in life and here in the world of blogville...

blog-friends I have never met, but hope that someday we might meet.

(That would be some road/boat/air-trip, wouldn't it?!)
I thank each of you for your friendships and interest.

 

Thank you to all the pattern, fabric, and notion designers/makers, too.

Your creativity helps me keep my stash growing!

SO,
A big Thank You
to everyone for a great 2012!!

My wishes to all
for great health,
greater peace and happiness,
and the greatest abundances in your lives
for this year of 2013!!!

And, finally, a few quilt photos -

the last commissioned one for 2012...

Judy's beautiful toile'-centered quilt
(that she is planning on finishing with a
scalloped border):

and a close-up of the Sashiko quilting:

 Lastly, a quilt-y finish for me:

50" x 50" farm animals for Logan

that I gifted to the latest great-nephew on Sweetie's side
(no pattern, just modified a friends' quilt finish).

Happy Stitching in 2013!
