My 2018 Makes

 It seems like I spent the first four months of the year on planes, and the rest of the year driving back and forth to the lot checking out house progress.  But I must have squeezed in plenty of sewing time because I got a lot more done than I realised.  Here's what I worked on in 2018 - 

#1 - A friend asked me if I could make a pig-themed quilt for a baby shower 

#2 - The request for this one was a whale quilt for a baby shower 

#3 - Baby quilt for a coworker who is Indonesian - so I made the butterflies with batiks I got in Bali

#4 - Maker's Mat for my mom

#5 - Cushion cover for an Alison Glass Mini Quilt Swap

#6 - A friend asked me to make a quilt for a sock monkey :)

#7 - Maker's Mat for Phil's Mom

#8 - Bionic Bag for me.  This one was a tough challenge, had not done a zip in a very long time

#9 - Baby quilt for my cousin

#10 - Sock Monkey quilt for a friend of a friend (the person whose sock monkey needed a quilt!)

#11 - Thai Batik Elephant Mini

#22 - And then I decided I needed a llama mini for the llama library

#22 - And then I had to make this llama mini with sparkly white fabric.

#23 - Made six of these Walker Bags for a charity - they hold a bottle of water and have a zippered pocket.

#24 - Rocks and Ice Mini

#25 - A remote control holder for Phil's bike 

#26 - Bowl cozy - made lots of these but forgot to take pictures before giving them away

#27-38  - Scrap baskets for my new sewing room (I'm counting them individually because they took so long to make with all those little tiny squares)

#39 - Scrappy Pineapple Quilt for our new house (this is what started the pineapple quilt theme...)

#40 - Baby quilt for a friend

#41 - Aboriginal quilt

#42 - Pineapple Quilt for a friend

#45 - Sock Monkey Baby Quilt

#46 - Pineapple Baby Quilt

#47 - Another Aboriginal Quilt

I'm going to miss our pretty fence and bushes for taking pictures.  But I won't miss the really hot afternoon sun in my sewing room.  Can't wait to set up my new space!
