Good year / Dobry rok

When at the beginning of 2011 I got back to work (full-time, stressful, exhausting), my whole family was telling me that I won't have time or strength to sew...
Luckily for me they were wrong:)))

Thank you soooo much for your comments and support during this year - it's really important for me (without you, I wouldn't make so many things!!! Sometimes I was so unhappy with things that I sew, but your comments and honest remarks, made me feel better and motivated in ripping the seems:).

This year was a good crafty year: I've learned a lot (still not so much to skip into intermediate level of quilting), I've been a part of lots of swaps and bees, I've made some tutorials and (what's probably most important): I had a lot of fun!

I've picked 20 favorites things that I made this year (at first I wanted to pick 10, but it was too hard:):

1. Pretty in pink - ready, 2. My new tea breaks sunshine, 3. In the mood for lime, 4. Julianna, The BOOKKEEPER, 5. Circle pieced, 6. Dandelion quilt top, 7. Quilt top - WIP, 8.
