The Best of 2016

Cheryl @ Meadow Mist Designs is hosting Best of 2016 Linky Party.  It's an opportunity to highlight your best five blog posts from 2016.



In no particular order, here are my five best blog posts (and which also had the highest views):

1.  Glamp Stitchalot
This quilt is a reminder of my adventure at Glamp Stitchalot 2016 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  This was my first non-local quilt retreat.




2.  Maker's Tote
I procrastinated about making this bag because I thought it would be difficult.  With the exception of the side pieces, this was a fairly easy bag to make.



3.  Teaching
I had an awesome time teaching my first quilt class this fall.  I'll be teaching two more classes at my LQS in the new year.  A great way to meet new people and earn a little bit of money to buy more fabric.  😊



4.  Snowflake Shimmer
This was a great QAL hosted by Yvonne @ Quilting Jetgirl.  All fabrics were from my stash, and I used a variegated Aurifil thread for the quilting.



5.  Paint Chip Challenge
Riding a high from learning some helpful paper piecing techniques at Glamp Stitchalot in June, I decided to make a Violet Craft paper pieced pattern for our guild paint chip challenge.



2016 was a great year.  I wonder what 2017 will bring?
