In April of last year, I was inspired to start quilting by my aunt and cousins. They had made a quilt over Easter break and it was so cute that I just had to try it myself. My aunt, Heather, had found the pattern at Oh, Fransson! The website is done by a woman named Elizabeth Hartman and it is full of wonderful inspiration. So, like Heather and J and B, I, too, did the Mod Quilt-Along from Oh, Fransson! I blogged about it here. I finished the quilt top and back, sandwiched my quilt and then moved on to some other projects. Finally, a little before Thanksgiving, I got it back out, quilted it and finally finished it.
Well, during all those inbetween months, I worked on a few other things...
I made flannel blankets. Some for donating and some for a couple of friends who each had a baby girl this year.
I made tote bags and drawstring backpacks. Again, some were gifts and the rest were for two Christmas boutiques that I took part in.

OCD or something like it...
My mom and I went to Martha's Vineyard in April to visit my brother. I took some of the photos from our trip and some Martha's Vineyard themed fabric I found, and made her a scrapbook quilt for her birthday.
