I love looking back at the end of each year to see what all I accomplished!
Want to take a guess of how many quilts I made in 2021??
(Drumroll...)
The final count was 27 quilts!
If you're new here, hello! I'm Laura! I design quilt patterns , and I'm a self-proclaimed deal hunter! Be sure to join the popular Quilting & Sewing Deals Facebook group where I post sales, deals, and coupon codes from all around the web!
Each year, I set a casual and informal goal of making the number of quilts for the number of the year. So “15 quilts in 2015” or “21 quilts in 2021.” Ever since I started making the goal, I usually make WAY more than that!
Here's a recap of how many quilts I finished each year. Only finished quilts make this list, but they can be ANY size including mini quilts.
2010 - 1 (My very first quilt!)
2011 - 1
2012 - 4
2013 - 2
2014 - 6
2015 - 27 (The first year I set the "15 quilts in 2015" goal!)
2016 - 38
2017 - 52
2018 - 105 (The year I made 52 charity quilts!)
2019 - 124 (A year I vowed never to repeat!)
2020 - 21
2021 - 27
In addition to the 27 quilts I made this year, I also made fabric Christmas ornaments , memory pillows , quilted placemats , a fabric scrap wreath , several free quilt block patterns, a quilt that is waiting to be quilted , and an Exploding Heart denim jacket ! I recorded several videos for Missouri Star Quilt Co. , and I also helped more than a dozen kids from the local 4-H club make their own quilts!
There are SO many wonderful things coming in 2022!!
First up is the second Exploding Heart quilt along ! It's going to be so fun to sew along with you!
Next on the calendar is to release a few new quilt patterns ! I have THREE almost finished up!
I will again be teaching quilting for our local 4-H club, but I'm also going to be teaching a quilting class for our homeschool group! There are about 35 kids that I'll be helping to make a quilt this spring!
I'll be traveling to many quilt guilds in 2022 too! I LOVE meeting other quilters and sharing my quilts! (I can come visit your guild too! Email me!)
Of course I have some secret quilty projects in the works for later in the year! There's always something fun happening behind the seams!
And I'll be deal hunting too! I love sharing great quilty deals with you in the Quilting & Sewing Deals group !
What quilty projects will you be doing this year??
