gemini stitches: The year of the Swoon...

It is hard to believe that it is the end of they year already - time really does seem to be going faster as I get older! Although I feel like 2012 was a complete blur, it is nice to look back and see that I did actually accomplish a few things. Here are the quilts and mini quilts I made during this year - many of the mini quilts were for swaps but by far my biggest project was the Swoon quilt which I can't wait to use once it gets cooler here!

And these are all of the "other " projects - bags. pillows, table runners and of course the wonderful Zakka projects!

I have a couple of things planned for next year already :

1. The Pantone color challenge - after particpating in the Tangerine Tango challenge earlier this year, I was very excited to see the color for 2013 is Emerald green which is one of my favourites. More info here:

2. I have never been in a bee block gorup before and now I have quite nervously signed up for two of them! The first is the AusMod Bee and the other is the Simple Solids bee which should both be fun.

3. The 4th round of the DS doll quilt swap will be open for sign ups in late January 2013 here.
Wishing you all the best for the New Year!
Kirsten.
