Retrospective 2022

I'm a little late in writing this post and reflecting back on the year has me thinking I have actually accomplished a great deal more than I thought I would.  The photo above is Improv curves zoom class given by Cindy Grisdella.   This was finished at Quiltville retreat in July.  

In January, the Hickory Knob retreat was a success as I thread painted and finished a cheater panel as well as working on 2 UFO's and making blocks for a donation quilt. 

Mid-March was the Mystery quilt workshop I attended.  Not liking it or the direction the quilt went in, I abandoned it and will be giving it away.  

We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary this year, by renewing our vows in Savannah at Forsythe park.  It was a glorious day, despite the weather.  Touring this old historic city was on my bucket list.

DH and I went to Maryland together and while he went to work, I stayed in the hotel room sewing up

blocks like my own private retreat and binge watching Law and Order.  It was fun, away from home, eating take out and sewing.  We even went on a road trip to Annapolis to a quilt shop there.  Antique shopping, having crab cakes and authentic Greek food, and just spending time with people I love made this trip very memorable. 

In October, DH and I went on a road trip to Elijay, Georgia being the apple capital and where the apple festival is held every year.  This was a fun and exciting trip where we visited the town, bought too many apples and stayed at a hotel atop a mountain with a beautiful view of the changing fall colors.  

I made over a dozen ornaments, baked many types of bread, including sourdough breads, collaged and finished a couple before the end of the year, and the best of all of this is that my son came home to visit from Germany over the holidays.   Here's to 2022, cheers!
