Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a Happy 2026!

Wishing you a year filled with good health, happiness, and unforgettable moments. 

My word of the year is CLARITY.

I need to clarify my routines, my space, my quilting journey, and my life journey.

I'm using this word to help me develop healthy routines.

I am using this to help me focus on what is most important in my life.

Enjoy 2026 and make it a FABULOUS year.

End of 2025 To-Do-List

I have not had a great year of finishes, but anything is better than nothing.

I doubt I finish anything else this year that is on this list, so I'm reporting a bit early the end of 2025.

My stashbuster numbers are 6/24, or 25%.

I'm still working on paperwork, but the big things are almost done.

1. Donna's Memory Quilts (4) 

First Top is done.

I might add borders, but I want to ensure enough fabric for the other quilts.

Three more to go.

2. Lillian's Memory Bears (10)

I have one started. I should just get them sewn.

3. Ashley High School Graduation Quilt

This quilt is VERY overdue.

COMPLETED Quilts

4. QOV (4)

One was already provided; it was a flag quilt.

 

I received another one that only needs binding added.

This is the last one that needs to be quilted.

At least one Stashbuster UFO a month (6/24) 25%

January #36 Thru Grandmother's Window

(This is all appliqué)

February #6 Wowza

I won't be able to show this because it is a test quilt that I had trouble with.

February #21 Wedding Quilt 

I don't like the design of this quilt, which makes it a challenge.

I might end up changing the color placements

March #9 Wool Poinsettia Ornaments

I'm working on the ornaments in the evenings.

I was missing beads, so I had to find some in my craft closet.

These are the next priority.

This ended up being half done.

April #3 Yo-Yos

This is an ongoing project.

I have an idea for a toy made from Yo-Yos.

April #39 Thread Catchers

I have sewn the ones I had prepped.

So if I can sit to sew, I might be able to sew to the point of hand sewing.

I'm still getting these prepped and will continue to work on them next year.

May #1 Zoology

This is a panel and should be quick to finish.

I just need to be able to sew.

May #15 Wildlife Panel Quilt

Another quick finish if I could get to it.

June #10 Woodsy Bag

This one has minimal left to do to complete it.

I need to focus more on it.

June #45 Texas Armadillo Table Runner 

I need to find this one to determine what's required to complete it.

July #4 Yellow & Blue Birthday Day Block Swap

July #29 Triple Irish Chain

August #12 Wolf Pack

August #68 Shashiko

This won't be done because I still have some pieces to work on.

This is an ongoing project.

I would like to utilize them in a larger project.
