2016 was a year unlike any other. Sometimes it felt overwhelmingly sad with all the news, deaths, and election upheaval, but it was also the year that brought Amelia to our family, so it wasn’t all bad. I felt off-kilter for most of the year as I navigated the highs and lows of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, and at the end of the year I was just thankful that we all survived intact!
I didn’t feel like I had much time to be creative in 2016, especially in the quilting realm, but as I was organizing photos on my computer over the weekend (thank you Amelia, for a three-hour nap!), I realized that I still managed to make quite a few things. So even though we’re halfway through January already, here’s a look back at what I crafted in 2016!
