Looking back on 2022

Three quilts basted in October and then I fell in a heap.    I had high hopes of getting one, maybe two quilted in November but it didn't happen.  There was lots of casual shifts available at work and we had three weeks away, as well as lots of pre-Christmas social gatherings and not a lot of sewing got done sadly.  

I did finish the quilting on the wool and tartan quilt in December but then it sat on the sewing table - waiting!  

Quilting on the music quilt was a rushed job which meant I stuffed up a couple of things and then got frustrated with myself.  So it also sat on the sewing table - waiting.   

And sadly I haven't started quilting the elephant wallhanging.  However, it is ready for all the handwork now, with a tray of gorgeous threads, buttons and beads ready to decorate it.  Another seat of the pants job!  

         


The next round of hand piecing for the quatro quilt is almost ready to start, with most papers glued to the fabric pieces.  I just need to choose the basted fabric pieces to form each flower in that round.   A fun job to do.

I did get a couple more rounds done on the traditional medallion quilt.  Next will be the side pieces for this round.  Apologies for it being partly hidden by the ironing board.  

I'll do a post with photos of the 2022 finishes next.  


November/December 2022 fabric tally

Finishes this month:  sadly none.  

Purchases in November/December:  I supported the patchwork shop in my daughter's local town by buying a few pieces:  three fat quarters, 3m of orange batik on special (great backing fabric) and 1m of a blue/red stripe which would make a great binding for the medallion quilt I'm working on, and ........ a layer cake of Tula Pink fabric.  So I've blown my fabric budget! and I was being so good.   That's 7.75 m of fabric. 

Fabric used:  - 6 m         Fabric acquired:  + 7.75 m

2022 final fabric tally:     + 31.5 m  (this will carry over into next year)


2022 Total fabric tally

Total fabric used in the year:  13.25 m
