Whilst a lot happened away from the sewing machine (I've written a separate post all about it full of pictures of Mia), in sewing terms, 2014 has been a very different year for me: At the start of the year I posted about my 2014 plans and wrote "I expect finishes will be fewer and further between". Not so much! It turns out that Mia is pretty cooperative when it comes to Mummy's sewing, and that I needed sewing to get me through some days. And being on maternity leave I actually had more time to sew, even with baby. Our first couple of months together was slower, but once we hit a routine... there was no stopping me. So here's what I got up to:
Purple Bee Quilt; Siblings Together Bee Quilt; Floating Flowers; Neon Stained; Three Peaks; Joy Jelly Roll Quilt; Mix Tapes; Nested Churn Dash; Vice Versa; Thread Along.
Post card quilt; Swooning in a Crowd; Preppy the Whale mini; Modern Alphabet; City Sampler cushion; Slainte; Mini Medallion; Teardrops; Cross Cushion; Scraptastic turquoise cushion; Moustache cushion; Cheerio; His and Hers mug rugs.
Big quilt finishes
Baby Quilts
Two buggy quilts; Baby Butterflies; Baby Boats; two more buggy quilts; Arabella Hexagon Quilt I; Cosmos Dust; Halloween Quilt; Jessica Rose; another buggy quilt; Arabella Hexagon quilt II.
Mini Quilts and cushions
Post card quilt; Swooning in a Crowd; Preppy the Whale mini; Modern Alphabet; City Sampler cushion; Slainte; Mini Medallion; Teardrops; Cross Cushion; Scraptastic turquoise cushion; Moustache cushion; Cheerio; His and Hers mug rugs.
Zippy Pouches: I tackled zips for the first time this year - why was I so scared? The small purple pouch was attempt number 1. The yellow Sew Together Bag was attempt number 2 - this is the most used thing I made this year - I use it for all my hand sewing supplies!
Circe of geese pouch; Hexy Sew Together Bag; Purple bag for Michelle; Owl Sew Together Bag; sewing machine pouch; original Sew Together bag; Autumn zippy pouch; Two-in-one pouch; Batik Sew Together Bag; mini pouch.
Embroidery and smaller projects: I made my first ever piece of clothing - a dress for Mia!
Hydrangea Wedding Sampler; Mia's summer dress (and matching knickers); If You Can't Stand the Heat mini; Kindle cover; Camera case; Sleepsuit Dino; Swappy Basket; I Love You; Lists.
And the things I forgot to add to the mosaics above
Mini Mix Tape; A Flower for Thee; Scrappy pincushion; Fireplace cushion; Batik Dragon; Ellie-Jo's Advent calendar (I made one for James as well) and the Camper Van cushion.
I love reviewing the year like this - taking a step back and seeing just how much I accomplished! I hope your year was just as good. Thanks for following me and popping by in 2014 and I hope to see you again in 2015!
