It feels like a time for reflection. Its been a big year at the Sweet Liberty house. Here we go, month by month:

I started out with a list of resolutions. I am happy to report that I have more or less met all of them (still trying to figure out Photoshop).
I also got my first Blythe doll!
February

A pattern of mine was picked up for publication in American Patchwork & Quilting

MIA. Blame the influx of Blythes in to my home!August
Summer wrapping up. Inherited a stack of antique quilts from Grandma.September
Was invited to design a quilt for Lecein. Had 2 weeks to design it, sew it and ship it off! It was an amazing experience, and I am so honored to be considered. I named the quilt "Mann Creek" after the farm my family settled over a 100 years ago in Idaho. You can download the free pattern here, along with many other fabulous free patterns.October
I graduate with my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education.
On a family trip to New York, get to meet the illustrious Gina Garan of "This is Blythe" at her NYC studio.

December
We had an amazing blizzard. Over 2 feet of snow and the whole city shut down for about 4 days. It was so peaceful...just being with the family at home.
New Year's Resolutions
I think New Year's is a great time to set goals. And putting them on your blog is a great way to ensure you complete them, right? My goals this year are:Start publishing my own patterns
Have a booth at Fall Market as a designer (eeeek!)
Pick some ding dang curtains for the studio!
Eat healthier (I'm working on it!)
From Wilbur and the rest of the fam, here's to a great new year!

Today my 20 year old daughter and I worked on her version of you owl pillow. She's making it for a friend back at college. It's the cutest thing ever!
Happy New Year to you too Jennifer! You have most definitely had a productive year, and I'm so glad that this year also meant us becoming friends! You are wonderful and I can't wait to see all of the amazing things you come up with in the year ahead!
