2017 Finished Non-Quilt Items

Each year I have been trying to do a summary page here just so I know what I have accomplished in addition to quilts.  I want so badly to have a variety of tools in my toolbox and the only way to do that is to constantly try new things or practice skills already learned.  So, here's 2017 for ya --

January -  I am not sure if I'm crazy or what but am going to make a pair of slippers for everyone for their birthday this year.  I have three birthdays in January so I'm off and running.

Papa Bear Slippers

I also made the decision to complete the entire woolie series this year.  One at each retreat and a few more to finish it out.

February - A busy bag --- I'm hoping to make several of these for granddaughter gifts.

A few sewing machine mats are always on the agenda.  This one is in it's gifted home.

Same here

A little clam shell case.  LOVE IT.  It now holds little sewing feet and stuff for my 301.

Busy Bags for the girls (and mine too, oops.)

More slippers - still Papa Bear

March - Check another pair off the list.

April - My bunny woolie

Two pillows to match my En Provence quilt.  Miniature blocks.

Slippers, slippers, slippers --- moving on to the Jack and Jill Slippers.

Two more woolies.

May - Maria taught me how to make luggage tags.  How fun.

October - OMG more slippers

And still more slippers - getting pretty tired of these now.

A fun ornament

Throw pillow for the bed to go with quilt and shams.

Nothing else, unless you count hemming a tablecloth panel as accomplishing something and I don't.

What a crazy year and it will likely be quite awhile before I tackle a project like the slippers again.  Bring on 2018.
