Twelve Essential Skills for Quilters

Free Motion Quilting, Pumpkin, Acorn, Oak LeafHappy New Year!

I want to thank all of my faithful readers for all your kind words in 2014.

I am so grateful for the community we have established here!  Let’s keep it going in 2015!

 YOUR FAVORITE QUILT

In 2014, YOUR favorite was the Autumn Vase Quilt.  It is small quilt employing three tutorials:  Grid Pop, The Perfect Pumpkin and The Oak Leaf.

YOUR FAVORITE POST

By far and away YOUR favorite posts are the Tuesday Tutorials, but the winner in the non-tutorial category:

Twelve Essential Skills Every Quilter Must Know.

This post went viral on Pinterest and on Facebook…
Twelve Essential Skills for Quilters

I was a little surprised–as it doesn’t even include Free Motion Quilting as an “Essential Skill”…

I confess, I had to go back and re-read it.  The List was created after an Open Line Friday discussion–so YOU all helped create this list.

GOING FORWARD-2015

I have a lot of plans for 2015…exercise more, learn to stir fry, learn how to use my camera’s speed light, clean the basement…

I also have a few quilting goals/plans:
