| fifteen empty thread spools and four empty thread cones December 2020 |
I was able to do a variety of sewing in 2020, and thanks to weekly FaceTime calls, my sewing machine was humming most of the year.
These empty spools/cones allowed me to make nearly twenty-four Quilts of Valor and twelve presentation cases, one hundred face masks, one personal quilt (Pinwheel Puzzle), one hospice quilt (Bricks and Stepping Stones), and two days of sewing during a community sew day.
As 2020 comes to a close, it's time to wind some bobbins, oil the machine, and change the needle because I think 2021 is going to be another good year to sew.
Wow that is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a LOT of thread! Congratulations on a very productive quilt year.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about 2021, at least for most of it. Hopefully, by next holiday season maybe we can get out among friends again.
Nancy, I am just so amazed and awed at your ability and get it done attitude...congratulations on your year of giving!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of empty spools. I've never kept track but it would be interesting to know how many I go through. I'm hoping that 2021 is a good year for most everything, but sewing is a great start.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of thread! It was all put to very good use and I will be happy to see what beauty you create in 2021.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of your productivity this year Nancy. I'm never good at keeping track of what I make. I say I'm going to and I start out well, but then I forget to write things down.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid you're right about this year being an isolated year too. I better stock up on yarn!
Blessings,
Betsy
100 face masks. Nancy! That's amazing. I love that you love to sew and I Get to watch the results!
ReplyDeleteGodnessme, thtsxa wonderful list of achievements!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reminder that I need to oil my machine!
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what to say. You are so productive -- and so generous with your beautiful works.
ReplyDeleteSoon you will need a new machine!
ReplyDeleteThat’s an interesting group of spools. I’m hoping to use up a spool or two during the next 3 days. I know I was using a lot of spools until I got two cones of thread for piecing. One of them will be empty by the end of January. Or so I think!
ReplyDeleteWowza! What a great way to evaluate this year--according to quilts and not how many things didn't go right!
