So I am attempting to chime in with my own view from my
studio. This is the year we finally got to redoing where I sew. It was a living
room(we also have a family room). I would hand quilt on the large frame in this
room and use it in the Spring when the basement(where my sewing room was) was
too cold. One year I just never moved back to the basement and am loving being
on the main floor where I can see outside. I have laminate flooring now so no
lost pins and office chairs move way more smoothly, sometimes too fast!!You can visit my studio pics here.
With the COVID hitting in March...I was thankful for my hobbies. They kept me busy and many items got started and completed.

whole cloth quilt I gave away |
In the mess that we call lockdown, social distancing, or just staying home and staying safe, I was able to finish hand quilting two quilts. One I gave away and one that I am keeping for myself.

6"wonky stars |
I have also been doing lots of scrap quilts. A mini log cabin was completed from the scraps that made these wonky stars. Seems there is a never-ending supply of scraps.
Time at home meant I had time to clean, purge and just simply find out what I have. Many UFOs were found and this particular one I have had for probably more than 12 years. You can read the full story here. I still have the quilt till I get to see my friend Kathy.
So to sum it up, I made 12 quilts, 2 bags and one duvet cover. Gave away 6 quilts, kept one and one quilt and one duvet to be delivered. I also started 4 quilts that aren't finished as yet. WOW this even surprised me!! I am hoping that this year will be just as productive...with being in lockdown right now for two weeks...it is a start!!My hope is to get more of the UFOs in the basement finished. Some of them have been waiting for over 12 years so it seems this is a good year to clean them out!! Good luck with all you have in mind to get started, quilted and or finished!
Lots of lovely finishes this year for you!;)) Congratulations!
