2022 Calendar

 

I've been making calendars of my quilts now for a few years now. This is the seventh. I've also made one of Millie and one of my quilting students. (Millie is often featured on the covers of my calendars. I particularly like this photo of her, completely unimpressed with my work.)

The one for 2022 is mostly quilts I made and finished in 2021, but not quite. I didn't make 12 quilts in 2021. Oh well. 

I add family birthdays and anniversaries and other stuff I find important, like the beginning and ending dates for the Major Tennis championships (You can see the Australian Open dates on the January page, above.)

The quilts look better in beauty shots than just shown flat. One thing about the calendars I never considered is they are a great reference of color photographs that don't have to be seen on a computer. To that end I have learned to make an extra calendar to keep in pristine condition for that reason. (Naturally I keep them all.) My Dad likes his because he can show off what I do to anybody who visits him. I use one at work and it never fails to elicit a comment. 

 I do mine on Vistaprint, and I always wait to use a coupon so I don't have to pay full price, but you can make something like this at lots of places, and you don't even have to start with January.

Happy New Year!

When I moved Millie's tent to make room for the little robotic vacuum cleaner (you can see it to the right of the tent in the top photo), I never expected it would get so much sun during the day. As you can see, Millie enjoys it very much.

I'm taking down the Christmas decorations, but I'll leave Millie's winter tent up until Spring.

Happy New Year!

No,  you are  not seeing double. These are twins, but as with all siblings, they each try to make themselves different from the other.

Is this the older sibling?

Or is it this one, who's facing in the opposite direction?

You tell me!


Happy New Year!
