Here is a sampling of my 2010 creations! Not all quilts for me especially with a new grandaughter to sew for!
I am wishing you a wonderful, happy and relaxing New Year with lots of time for creating!

We are now in Florida for the month of January and the weather for the next week is highs between 76 and 79 degrees with lots of SUN!
This is much better than the Minnesota forecast (sleet, snow, high winds and temperatures in the single digets)!
++++++
On the drive from Minnesota to Florida, I did lots of hand stitching on my Joseph's coat - I completed three blocks. I think that makes 25!!
I only requested one quilt shop stop per day AND WAS THAT A COMPLETE BLOWOUT!!!
I read about and see photos of all the great quilt shops on your travels. Well, the first one.....the HIGHLIGHTS were John Deere fabric AND camo fleece.
And for the second stop we drove a few miles out of the way to find a shop that was closed from December 23rd until January 3rd!!!
Luckily, I have my computer and am able to satisfy my fabric shopping addiction with some great online sales....whew!!!
+++++
I'll be back to show the handstitching I'm working on here in Florida.

Gorgeous Photo's and Projects Mary! Enjoy the warm weather in Florida, we had a light dusting of the white stuff yesterday here in AZ, good thing it didn't stick.
You've had an amazing year. Congratulations on your many accomplishments. Here's to 2011!
Oh my, John Deere and camo fleece are highlights? It gives me shudders...
Your projects are lovely, however! Happy New Year!
Great projects especially that adorable monkey. I bet it was a hit. Happy New Year
Yup. I am finishing Amelia's Magoo for sure! This winter. I will make it one of my priorities! I'm sorry your quilt shops were a bust. Enjoy Florida and the sunny weather. Have a very happy new year, Mary!!!
Happy New Year Mary!!! Enjoy Florida. I'm doing the opposite of you...left warm Florida for cold Montana ;-) However, I will be back Monday. Where in Florida are you? Close enough to visit me in Orlando? ;-) Love your mosaics of projects.
You made some gorgeous stitchy goodness in 2010 Mary! I hope you and your family have a fabulous New Year!
You better check out the next Quilt Shop online before going inside. I don't quilt with Camo or Fleece. I guess it's a regional thing. Have a great time in Florida! We are welcoming the new year with a bit of the white stuff on the ground and chilly temps. I've enjoyed watching progress on your projects in 2010 and look forward to seeing more in 2011.
You really completed some fabulous projects!
Happy New year!

Enjoy Florida! May I just say that I am jealous? :) Lots of wonderful quilts you completed this year.
Hi Mary! Welcome to Florida. Was the quilt shop that you tried to visit Country Quilts and Bears in Clearwater?? They close every year for the Christmas week. How fun that there are several here that are from Florida. We are enjoying this nice warm weather after a bitter cold snap a week ago. Enjoy your stay and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Mary...enjoy the wonderful weather! Thanks so much for the inspiration throughout 2010...and best wishes for 2011!
