2011: The year in which I made a bunch of stuff

This year I have spent a lot of my free time working on some sewing projects.  When I was going through our photos for the previous post, I came across photos of some of my projects that I haven't shared so I thought I'd go through what I worked on this year.  

I made this at the beginning of the year to keep in the living room because Tom said our other blankets were too small.

Quilt for Harper.

I made this for Harper's friend for her birthday.

I made this for no particular reason, but it has turned out to be a good play-on-the-floor quilt for Jonah.

Zipper pouch I made for Harper's crayons.

I made these little bags for Harper to give to her cousins when we had a little family reunion in June.

University of Utah quilt

Quilt for my cousin's baby.

Jonah's birthday present.  My grandparents bought the fabric, I made the quilt.

Twin quilt for Harper's bed.  

Queen size quilt for our bed.  

Quilt I made for myself.  It is only half-quilted because I got busy with Christmas stuff.

Advent calendar.

Christmas stockings.  I made the kids' last year, and miraculously finished mine and Tom's on Christmas Eve this year.  I will have to add our names next year.

Tree skirt. 

I made this for one of Tom's co-workers who just had a baby.  I finished binding it earlier this evening.

That's pretty much it.  I also made a quilt for my brother when he came home from his mission but I never took a picture of it.  I will have to get one when I am in Utah later this month.

I am looking forward to doing some more sewing in 2012 :)  By the end of the year our apartment might be overflowing with quilts.

2011 review

2011 was a very good year for us and I spent some time today going through some of our photos for the year.  Here are some of my favorites, roughly in order.

My favorite picture of Jonah.

This boy loves the Apple store.  Must run in the family.

Arizona trip

The day after Christmas we drove down to Tucson to visit the other Jackmans and the Carlsens.  As much as I hate the drive, we had a really nice little visit and I am really glad we were able to go.

While we were there we went to the Tucson children's museum.  I don't think Jonah has ever had so much fun in his life.  We just let him wander around from room to room and explore things.  He has never had so much freedom!  Harper had fun hanging out with her cousins.  It was really sweet to see him play together.
