What I made in 2020

Projects completed in 2020.

I thought I’d had a pretty uncreative year, what with lockdown depression and everything, but although it was mostly small projects, I did actually manage to get quite a few things finished.

January

February

March

March was busy, and then it got weird. So nothing really finished, but I did do a few quick sketchy things:

A cartoon I (badly) drew at a workshop with the amazing Sam Orchard during Pride week

A couple of sketches I didn’t hate from a life-drawing class during Pride week

A bear to hang in my window for the We’re Not Scared NZ Bear Hunt

April

And the bear was then joined by a couple of Easter eggs

May

June

A lot of stuff in progress, but nothing finished.

July

August

*Tūī in the Henhouse* – a mini-quilt for Yetzirah, to celebrate 100 subscribers to my YouTube channel

September and October

Mostly making videos, but I did make progress on a few quilting projects

A Star Trek/LEGO mini-quilt as a wedding present for Marie and Angie

A huge string of bunting in Pasifika fabrics for my union

The latest bird in flight, a peregrine falcon. Which puts me way ahead of where I should be in the quilt-along, but the more I can get done now while life is relatively quiet, the less pressure I’ll have towards the end to get it finished. I’m not entirely happy with my work on this…

Merry Christmas!

k, ignore everything you’ve ever read or seen about how spending Christmas alone is a terrible thing. It’s not – in fact, it’s been a very pleasant experience. Of course, it probably helps that I’ve never really thought of Christmas as that big a deal anyway. Yes, I have a lot of fun decorating the…

Progress, and not so much progress

My plan to use spare half hours to sew failed the moment the really cold weather set in, because I’d forgotten just how cold the study can get in winter (for some reason to do with the way the hallway bends just before the door to the study, the warmth from the fire, which happily…

Happy New Year!

It’s 2015 here in New Zealand, even if most of the rest of the world is still to catch up, and has dawned a lovely sunny day after yesterday’s rain. I reckon that augurs great things for the year – and even if it doesn’t, I fully intend to have a good year anyway 🙂 …

own to the last few days of work before the Christmas break, and I’m seriously feeling in need of a holiday.

Three more quilt squares done! Feathers. Apart from a wee bit of wobbliness in the corner (mainly caused by not having enough fabric to be able to get a decent grip to move it properly), this one went really well. It looks really cool on the back, too: Next is Ocean Current. This was definitely…
