The second half of 2018 definitely showed a slow down in productivity. I spend a lot of time with my grand daughter Eva in the summer, and we also had a major trip, plus there were all those holidays...
July
Aurora
August
Maple Leaves
Halloween Logs and Geese
September
Baby Quilt
October
Blackbirds and Stars
November
Christmas Pines
Three Trees
Drunken Frenchmen
Red and White Sampler
That is a good one to end with I think. I didn't do much sewing in December, other than about two dozen microwave bowl cozies.
2018 was an excellent year for me, without a doubt my most prolific ever. I think I need to slow down a bit more in 2019. I feel as if I was in a bit of a fever to get things done last year. I want to savor the process more in 2019.
You've made some really beautiful quilts in 2018! Hope 2019 will be a great year for you too:-) BTW did you ever share a picture of the finished Aurora quilt? Would love to see it!

They're small & fun so Christmas Pines & Three Trees are on my list to try this coming year! It seems that we go through cycles with quilting from no mojo to prolific. Your quilts are beautiful & you should be proud of so many finishes this past year!

I like your year-end review, Nicole. I don't know if I've ever told you that way back 10 years or so, I came across your blog, found that your style closely matched my own, and that led me to start my own blog. I thank you for being my inspiration, and after all these years, I still follow your blog, while many others have bitten the proverbial dust! I hope your 2019 is equally productive!
