End of Year Review

2025 has come to an end and it's time to review how I did with my long list of projects posted in January.

#1. The fabrics for the Fire Island Hosta Queen quilt have been washed and pressed but then nothing more happened. Hopefully '26 will be the year piecing actually happens.

#2. The Blueberry Pie flimsy was completed in 2024 and is hanging in the 'to be quilted' closet. He's in the queue for hand quilting but that won't happen until the relief sale quilt is finished.

#3. Elegant Garden is a flimsy and is stored in the to be hand quilted closet. I have a plan for this quilt when she's finished so she will probably be quilted before Blueberry Pie.

#4. Garden Party  Garden Party is designed by Bonnie Hunter and the pattern is found in her Addicted to Scraps book. The 'flower' blocks have been pieced and the chain blocks were pieced at a quilt retreat in November. The plan is to piece the half chain blocks at a quilt retreat in January. Maybe this quilt will be a flimsy in 2026?

#5 Relief Sale Quilt is in the hand quilting frame and is in the process of being hand quilted. It will be donated and sold in the 2027 Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale.

#6. Teal Stars -

#7. Log Cabin Hearts -

#8. Quadrangle -

#9 was a project from one of the many projects I have selected fabrics for and stored in a bag. This project didn't happen. 😉

#10 was a quilt from the Red & White Gatherings book designed by Lisa Bongean. I made a small quilt with the Love Triangle pattern. It's not quilted and I'm not sure when that will happen. The light colored background cries out for custom quilting. I'm not capable of doing that with my machine and I have so many quilts waiting to be hand quilted.

I really like the star design and I can envision several of these stars made into a quilt . . . using blue fabrics of course!

#11. Blue embroidered blocks  I appliqued blocks for the corners of this quilt. This flimsy has been delivered to Calico Point for quilting.

#12. Lavender embroidered blocks  I used the same idea as the blue embroidered blocks, four blocks were appliqued for the outside corners. This flimsy has also been delivered to Calico Point for quilting.

#13 - Four Patch Around the World was pieced early in January and a complete finish in February.

#14 Embroidered Crib Quilt

Two Compassion Quilts

#15 - Hand quilt an Amish Crib Quilt

#16 - 2025 Designer Mystery BOM  . . . This mystery quilt started in June and runs through 2026. 

#17 - I quilted Book Adventures or Peter Rabbit on my home sewing machine in May.

Several compassion quilt flimsies were pieced and will be quilted next spring to be donated. Overall, I think I accomplished a lot in 2025 and managed not to get sidetracked by squirrels. Next week I'll publish my 'to do list' for 2026 which won't be as intensive as the 2025 list.
