Angela over at the RSC has asked us to share what we have accomplished this strange year of 2020. Honestly, I work from home part time and have since March 2016. My weekends have been more free without all the external activities, but we did add in the build of 2 chicken coops and the addition of 9 chickens to the back yard this year. That has taken up a bit of time but they are pretty relaxing to watch peck around out back and we are enjoying the eggs they are providing to us now.
Onto the quilt finishes this year!

| My RSC Trip Around the Worlds quilt got finished this year. All hand pieced and hand quilted. I did use the machine to add the top of the binding but hand stitched it to the back. This is 90x90 and resides on my bed. |

Now the chicken portion of the post! Can you believe the chickens started off this little?
And now they are pretty much full grown!
This is the second set we got the beginning of September. 3 Barred Rock Plymouths and 2 Easter Egger 'mutts'.
These are the ones from the baby photo's above we got around the end of June. We are getting 4 eggs a day from these ladies.
The quilt tops - not yet finished but hey, they got to a top stage this year!

16 patches.
crumb blocks got a few added to the mix this year.
Sweet confetti blocks - 96 made and are waiting to be sewn together.
My first attempt at drafting a block, making templates and hand piecing it! 19 Endless Diamond blocks are done. This has been a fun one.

Wow! You had some gorgeous finishes for 2020! The star blocks at the bottom are really amazing.
What a productive year you've had--all lovely finishes and QIP's
Nice work hugs Julierose
you have made a lot of quilts this year and that some of them are hand pieced makes it even nicer! I love the trip around the world and some of the others that you did this year I really like too. A nice adventure into the world of chickens too made a nice addition for the kids I bet while they spent more time at home
WOW! lots of quilt! i especially LOVE your cobblestones and the TATW. good job on using so much fabric. you're probably almost out of fabric (and scraps) now, right?!
Lots of beautiful quilts and some additional progress, as well. It looks like 2020 was SEW productive. Congratulations, Deb!
A lot of cheerful and beautiful quilts!
So fun to see your gallery of projects, both finished and not! The Trip Around the World quilt caught my eye because I had forgotten that it was all hand-pieced and you know I'm looking for a new hand-piecing project right now. (wink!) It's been fun to follow along on your chicken adventures this year, too. Glad that has been so successful!
You have done a remarkable job this year. You inspire all of us to do more and do better! I love all of your projects! Even love the chickens - send me some eggs! LOL. Hugs
You've been a busy girl this year, even with the family to attend!! I really and truly love the Endless Diamonds quilt. It's stunning. Stay safe and well. We'll get through this one of these days.
So many beauties! My favourite has to be the Trip around the World because it is completely hand made and totally gorgeous!
My goodness, such a lot to show for your year of RSC sewing, well done indeed.
Such a productive year! It is amazing to see the baby chickens again.
Very productive, love the Hoarfrost Quilt!!
