Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs is hosting a Best of 2016 Linky Party that has got me thinking of my first year in the blog world. It has been so much fun journaling about my creative adventures and reading about so many of yours! It has been a wonderfully SWEET year indeed:)
I had a hard time choosing my five favorites, but here it goes, drum roll please…….
#5–Navajo Code Talkers –
This beauty was a Quilt Along with a friend
#4- Splendid Sampler
I am still not caught up in this fun QAL, I learned that I LOVE embroidery blocks:)!
#3- Crocheted Camel Hair Scarf
I crocheted this for my beautiful daughter with camel hair yarn to remind me of my trip to Israel
I was happy to celebrate my first 100 followers with a quilt give away!
#1 – Mandala Madness
It doesn’t get any better than this 6ft beauty! I learned so much:)
There you have it. My top five. I have had a great year and look forward to a SWEET 2017!!
It's a T-Sweets day! 
And what an excellent first year you have had Tracy! My fave is that SS block and the Code Talkers quilt, it is amazing!

Hi Tracy, I love your blog! So many wonderful things to see and try, like your Pumpkin Bread! You’re so diverse and inspirational. Thank you for sharing. I wanted to be sure you saw the instructions regarding the Shoebox Swap. Susan and I explained in much more detail how it works, and I have to be honest, putting together my partners Shoebox or receiving my Shoebox each year. Lol. Do try and give it a try, it’s loads of fun and I can’t tell you how many wonderful things I’ve received over the years. Take care and I’ll be following your blog. Hugz:)

Thank you Sharon! Yes you can buy a pattern here http://www.timelesstraditionsquilts.com/NavajoCodeTalkers.html. I made two of each block in order to make a king size quilt and added the piano key border. Most of the fabric was homespun and flannel with a few pieces of wool as well. It was fun and fairly simple as each block is mostly strips. I would love to hear about your Navajo adventure if you do make one:)
