| FairyFace Designs: Mini Quilts 2011 |
2011 was the year of quilting for me. And
a good year it was. I had so much fun this last year with this blog -
it really took off for me in January and not only did I learn to quilt,
but I discovered a huge circle of crafty, blogging friends out there.
2011 was the year I realised that I did, contrary to my very long held
belief, have a creative bone in my body - more than 1, it turned out.
The year I realised that online friends could be just
as important as real life ones. And where I realised that, through your
writing voice, you could be who you wanted to be and really be yourself
because you are among friends.

2011
was not easy in some ways - but I don't like putting too much personal
info out there for privacy reasons, so I'm not going to bore you with
the details. But quilting and writing proved a
welcome relief and an outlet for me from the stress. The comments I received brightened
many a day. The fun and the wittiness of some of you continues to crack
me up and I love the banter :-) Winning the odd giveaway, seeing my
stuff featured elsewhere, having people make a quilt to a tute I wrote -
all brilliant!
And now 2012 is almost upon us!! I'm
still thinking about my goals - have you decided on yours?
Is there anything you would like to see on FairyFace Designs in 2012?
More tutes? More quilts? Another quiltalong? More giveaways? Featuring
other bloggers/projects? Linky parties? Anything else? Any suggestions
gratefully received!
I will be doing a mid-winter update on the Winter Stitching in the next couple of weeks so if you are taking part, start getting your posts ready for the linky!
I also have an exciting project
starting in January for followers who love to ready sewing blogs but are new to sewing or haven't touched
their sewing machines since their school days...watch for more
information coming next week!
In the meantime I will leave you with some of my
favourite makes from 2011. Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2012 brings
everything you hope for.
