ALOYF--2014 Year in Review

This past year was good for me in so many ways.  Here is a quick re-cap of my ALOYF successes and not-so-successes. (I have links back to the finish posts for the months I completed and linked up my projects.)

November ALOYF Finish

Yay! This in just under the wire ...

'Twas the Night ...

I've done several blog hops over the last couple of years with Sew We Quilt!  This is the first one I've done that is more of a swap ... so fun!  Thanks once again to Madam Samm and Marlene!  Marlene is amazing and I know she spent hours (and hours) getting everything just right. (The complete schedule is here.)

There were a couple of rules to keep in mind this time around ...

1.  We were to make small gifts to be made in hours, not days.

2.  We had to mail it all off by Oct. 31 ... yes, Halloween =)

A Little Random ... Bamboo

For those of you who can remember back all the way to January =) ... These were the quilt blocks that I asked for from my Stash Bee Hive #2 mates (here is that tutorial and here was the preview of all the blocks I received.)

ALOYF November Goal

I didn't get my October goal of finishing up the woven-look baby quilt done.  I ended up having to piece together the backing which I didn't count on.  It's all sandwiched and ready to go, but this month, I have a more pressing project in mind ...

Blogger's Quilt Festival--Compass Rose

I hadn't originally thought to enter this quilt into BQF, but this is truly my favorite quilt to date.  My original blog post on this quilt is here and I talked a little more about it here, too.

Blogger's Quilt Festival--Boo2U2

Welcome!  I'm glad you could stop by for my little corner of the Blogger's Quilt Festival.

Stash Bee--Round 3 Coming!

It's sign-up time again!  

Around the World ... A Blog Hop

I'm a bit late, but here goes ... Thanks to Michele for the nomination!  This has certainly been an excercise for me.

ALOYF October Goal

This month I'm hoping to finish this baby blanket.  It's made of scraps from Circa 1835 fabrics that I used in the Green Fairy Quilt Along last summer.  I finally finished that top last month (I still need to post ...) but had some scraps left over and this idea in my head.
