2015 was another prolific year in my little sewing room. Let's break it down in the numbers . . .
45 Quilts
(a few secret ones still not shown :)
12 Totes
6 Mini's
4 Table Toppers
4 Pillows
A Whole Bunch of Bee Blocks
and last but not least . . .
1 Book Release
And that is a quick picture Round Up of my Happy Quilting 2015 :) Wow, it never ceases to amaze me how much quilting fun you can pack in a year :) And I sure love seeing it all together. You can see more details about all of the quilts in my Quilt Archive Tab at the top of the page including links to any tutorials ;)
As I look back on this year, I realize once again, that I just love quilting. I don't think I could say it enough!!! I keep wondering if I am going to get tired or this, but I don't!!! I just love it!!! I love every step of the way!!! I love the designing, I love the choosing fabrics, I love the cutting (I really do), I love the piecing, I love the quilting, and I am learning to love the binding ;) Basically put, I am truly Happy Quilting ;)
And now, It's time to look forward to 2016!!!
Last year at this time I printed off 4 goals that hung in my sewing room and served as a constant daily reminder of what I wanted to accomplish creatively in 2015 ;)
I have 4 new goals on a new printout for 2015 :)
1 - Pass It On
2 - Watch The Time
3 - Plan With Purpose
4 - Mommy First
Just like last year, these probably only make sense to me but there are so many thoughts tied up in each of those little statements and those 4 little tidbits are a great way to summarize all of those thoughts. They will be wonderful reminders to me each and every day. I look forward to these 4 little lines guiding me in my 2016 Creative Journey!!
And Before I Wrap This Up . . . I know I just said this a few weeks ago at Christmas, but I can't ever say it enough. Thank You!!!! Without you there would be no Happy Quilting. I am daily blessed that I can share my creative journey and my love of quilting with so many of you ;)
So here's to 201, May it be another year filled with lots of Happy Quilting!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteYour level of productivity and the beauty of what you create pretty much boggles my mind Melissa! I've decided that you must not need much sleep, LOL. Here is to a wonderful 2016 for you and your loved ones!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, you are such a inspirational, talented, happy person. I look forward to each blog. Please continue wow us with your talents and Happy Quilting. Bonnie F.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Years! It's amazing how much you get accomplished in your life. I think those of us with grown children understand your mom goal. They grow so quickly. I'm looking forward to your blog next year.
ReplyDeleteGreat accomplishments! I am looking forward to receiving my book soon and will certainly be busy sewing away also ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing: all those wonderful sewing projects, a book of patterns and 5 children to take care of! How do you do it? May 2016 bring as much prosperity and creativity as 2015 has done.
ReplyDeleteSo productive. My 2016 goal should be 'Sew like Melissa'! All the best to you, your family and your quilting business.
ReplyDeleteYou had a fabulous year! Love your little list and glad you have Mommy First there.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWOW! you accomplished a lot!
ReplyDeleteYou are Wonder Woman! Love seeing all your quilts, totes, table toppers, pillows and blocks. Seeing how much you made that doesn't even include the secret ones. And your patterns! Do you have a secret to having so much energy. What is the name of the one that is the 4th row down, 3rd over. I know I've seen it before but can't remember the name.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful 2016!
Rina
