It has been lovely getting to know over the past few months and I have to say the DGC was one of the highlights of my year too! I look forward to joining in with any QAL you have going (have just spied ugly Christmas sweater!!!) and seeing where you go and what you do in 2016.

I want to emulate you as much as I can, especially when it comes to your kindness and genuineness.<br />It has been a great delight to watch you grow, to watch you design and to see you taking part more and more and a very important part of the quilting community!

What has been nice for me as well, are the people that have crossed my path because of taking part in your link-ups. Since quilting in Germany is not as big as it is the Canada and the US, I never really thought that I would venture out of my sewing room to meet other quilters in person, but it turns out that now I am in the middle of starting a quilting group and we are now four!<br /><br />Looking forward to what 2016 brings!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12890339482076523219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222010192421604268.post-54698236903831540732015-12-30T09:41:30.351-05:002015-12-30T09:41:30.351-05:00Lorna...you go girl!!

I can really relate to your observation and determination to enter "real life"...I too "quilt alone" except for blogland. But I do have some hopeful plans for making some "real life" adjustments as well.

I'm not even sure how I came across it, but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the reasons is the good feelings I get just from looking at your sparkling quilts. I can't help smiling when I see them. I mean, just look at those five faves of yours at the top of this post. I'm amazed at where you've been in your quilting life and where you are going. So much growth in one year! Best wishes to you as you begin some new adventures while also keeping the familiar activities going. I'm not much of a goal setter, but I have a big quilt that really needs to be finished so I can focus on other things, and I have two promised donation quilts to make by March. That's all the goal setting I can handle for now.
