To top off the year, here’s my favorite posts from 2009 in case you missed them or just want to reminisce with me.
January: Shine in 2009! ~ One of my goals for 2009 was to have fun and I succeeded on that count. 2009 was a lot of fun. I also accomplished quite a lot too.
February: Quilt-cycle ~ This was a really fun quilt! Scroll down to the end of the post for tips on making your own quilt from recycled materials.
March: In case you were wondering … February quilting ~ More quilting fun, this tutorial is easy too!
April: It’s a beauty! ~ I would show you the rest of my New York Beauty blocks, but I have to finish piecing them. Here’s the first.
May: Tip Tuesday: Mix it up! ~ Most quilters prefer either piecing or applique (I’m an applique gal). Mixing both together makes a dynamic block and you don’t feel so overwhelmed by your less-favored technique.
June: Muse Monday: Donuts! ~ Whether or not you’ve resolved to lose weight in 2010, donut-shaped designs are calorie-free!
July: Muse Monday: Surf’s up! ~ Miami colors are so fresh and fun!
August: Muse Monday: Inspiration in your stash ~ I’m almost finished with this stash reorganization. I’m down to the odd-shaped pieces and new, unwashed fabric.
September: Happy Dance: It’s launch day! ~ My first book, yippee!
October: Tip Tuesday: Getting started with free motion quilting ~ Don’t you just love it when the quilting designs fall into place effortlessly?
November: Pocket Full of Posies ~ One of my most fun block designs, and a tutorial for Kurumi cover buttons, too.
December: Muse Monday: Inspired by … deadlines! ~ Several years in the making, and all by hand, I love how my African Folklore Embroidery wall hanging turned out.
As far as 2010 is concerned, I have a lot on my plate so it’s probably better if I don’t list it all out in one place or think about all of it at one time.
Happy New Year! =(^_^)=
Thanks for the trip down memory lane; lots of lovely posts. I did not read blogs before I started blogging myself in August, so it was fun to read these!
I was thinking of freehand cutting some “donut” shapes for applique just the other day; well, great minds think alike you know:-)
Happy New Year, Laura!
Ohhh yummy link love, I’ll be prowling these later- at least, the ones I don’t think I’ve already read yet. Happy new year!
Your mother sent me the book you just had published, it is really amazing. I’m not crafty but my sister is so may lend it to her.

Great blocks, they are super fun and how great to get them into a quilt. It truly is art!
