Quilts of 2013







I really am amazed I was able to get anything done this year!  It was a strange year for me.  Just after New Year's, I made the neighborhood quilt from the BMQ guild row robin. I was diagnosed for a spinal tumor in January and had surgery to remove it in February.  I made it back to the sewing room in March (a little) and was back at work after Easter.  I managed to make a wedding quilt, a volunteer gift quilt,and two baby quilts in May and June.  I started a quilt for my granddaughter Saydee and my newest grandchild, her sister Aleena.  I ended up making three quilts for Aleena before I got Saydee's quilt finished.

I spent some of my free time last summer helping my daughter make and quilt a queen sized quilt for her bed.  I finished a quilt for my mother in law to keep her toasty and warm (last year she was without power for a few weeks after Hurricane Sandy).  I attended two great workshops with Malka Dubrowski and Jacquie Gering.  I made a quilt for my older daughter to use with some matching coasters (ha!).

After the baby came, I spent a lot of time babysitting for Saydee so that my daughter and son-in-law could visit the baby at the hospital (she is supposed to come home tomorrow-New Year's Eve!!).

Which brings us full circle after a full year.  May all your New Year's dreams come true!


I added myself to PlayCraft's Year in Review.  Click over to see what everyone accomplished last year.

Wow, Laura, you HAVE had a very busy year!!
Laura, what a lot of quilts! So glad to hear Aleena is coming home today. Big hugs to you. See you soon!
Wow, what a truly crazy year for you! I'm so glad your tumor was removed successfully, and you were able to go on and make such beautiful quilts. :) That black and red quilt is especially striking!

Best of luck with your health and to the new baby. Your quilting accomplishments are impressive without any of life's challenges as especially so with the ones you've faced this year. Glad you made it to the two workshops, both teachers are at the top of my wish list.
