1. Katrina's quilt.
I made this quilt quickly for my friend and previous co worker Katrina when I got back from Quilt Con. I heard that she had pancreatic cancer and I wanted to quickly wrap her in a quilty hug. Katrina loved her quilt and I managed to visit with her twice before she passed away taking a couple of my co workers with me. I feel blessed that I was able to share this quilt with her to give her some comfort in her last days and I hope that it is giving comfort to one of her relatives now.
2. Minimalist Friendship Star
I designed this minimalist star myself and I am happy that I managed to find the time in a busy year to do something for myself, by taking the time to design something and make it.
3. I really like the process in making this Charlie Harper Runner for my boss. It's simple but I put it together slowly and improvisationally....my favourite method.
4. Last year my two friends and I bought a sit down long arm ( or midarm depending on who you are) and I have been having a blast working through some of my backlog of quilts.
This is the first of my personal quilts ( not the guilds) that I quilted on the machine. It's a quilt that I really love and it is on the bed in the spare room. The pattern is Grande Scrappy Tiles by Cheryl Brickey.
5. I really really love the Modern Rice Pouch designed by KZStevens and I had a lot of fun making the two that I made. I did have to google how to attach a square base into a tube but it wasn't that hard in the end.
I hope to make a few more in the new year along with the Modern Boro zipper pouch and the project bag. It was fun using up items in the stash and learning a few new tricks.
I am linking up with Cheryl for the Best of 2019 linky and I am wishing us all lots of fun and sewing success in the New Year.

I'm glad you were able to gift the quilt and visit with Katrina several times before she passed away.
The minimalist Frindship star is really lovely, and I am always happy to hear of your quilting time and progression on the mid arm. It's hard to limit to only 5, isn't it?
Lovely finishes all! Happy Stitching from me outside Ottawa, Canada!
