Best of 2017

It's always fun to reflect on the past year by perusing through posts to find favorites or the ones with the most page views.  I'm participating in Cheryl's (Meadow Mist Designs) Best of 2017 Linky Party by sharing the posts with the most page views.

#5 Handprint Machine Applique Pillow

This tutorial was posted when I participated in the 12 Days of Christmas in July Blog Hop hosted by Sarah of Confessions of a Fabric Addict.  I made a machine appliqued pillow with the handprints of the great nephews in the family.


See Cheryl's (Teapots2Quilting) quilt here she made as a gift to her father-in-law using the handprint idea.

#4 Positively Transparent Quilt

Positively Transparent was made the for the Modern Quilt Guild's Quilt of the Month for August 2017.


#3 Big Ole Schlep Bag

The So Sew Easy Schlep Bag, a free pattern by Sentimental Stitches, was made from Cotton and Steel fabrics.


#2 Handwritten Quilt Labels Tutorial

This tutorial walks you through reversing text in Word and making handwritten quilt labels.



#1 Prewashing Fabric, the Whys and Hows

And my No. 1 post of 2017 (and all time), with double the page views of any post, was the post and tutorial on prewashing fabric.



Now check out the Best of 2017 Linky Party at Meadow Mist Designs.

  1. Paige thanks so much for the recap of some of your best posts. I somehow missed the making label post, but so glad I saw it. It is now pinned for a few quilts that will need some special labels this year. Happy 2018 to you.

  4. I always pre-wash my fabrics. The one time I didn't (minkee) the lovely cream background print turned PINK. Unfortunately, the baby quilt was for a boy, so, I had to make another one. Thanks for including my handprint quilt in your blog post. Happy New Year!

  9. Isn't it fun to review your blog posts? For me, I found it enlightening to know that my blog readers aren't always most interested in quilting! Makes me glad that I can feel comfortable blogging about non-quilting things too. Hope you've had a good Christmas and start today into 2018. Many blessings.
