I'm not going to make any resolutions this year. I am just thankful for each and every day! I will end my pitiful blog entries this year with a few recent projects and look froward to a new year of fun and adventure.
Earlier in the month I was finishing what I hope to be my last IVIG infusions for a while! I couldn't go to my regular infusion center because they were short staffed so I ended up at a local Cancer Center for the infusions. The staff there was so accommodating and sweet. I made a basket full of "mug rugs" and Santa chocolates for them.

The loss of a friend is always hard. My dear sweet friend, Jennifer passed away and left us all with a hole in our hearts. She was an amazingly talented and prolific quilter. She left leaving a pile of unfinished projects and we (members of our local guild) all helped to finish quilts for her family. My friend, Meliss spearheaded the project and she thought I might like to finish the hand applique on this one. She was of course right. I enjoyed every stitch as I thought of Jennifer and her loving, kind spirit. I also had a few laughs with her, vowing that I would try to finish more of my own UFO's in the future!
This is us at last year's Christmas party. I miss you my friend!
I've been working diligently on the Tiny Nine Patch Challenge hosted by Taryn Falkner on Instagram. I've finished one quilt and am on to quilt #2. Made in the potholder method (of course).
