2025 Year At A Glance, January 3, 2025

Projects in 2025 were 38 with none in the quilting queue.  I am of course working on several projects that are close to finishes.  I have Krinkleberry finished; it only needs to be ironed and packaged up to mail.  This makes the first 2026 UFO completion =^.^=

Krinkleberry

Home for the Holly Days is sewn up to Month 6 with only two months to go.  Seems Fat Quarter Shop is dealing with some issue in the monthly deliveries.  They are generous with fabric so I have been able to continue sewing into Month 6 and likely the remaining months.  I'll be stitching as long as there is fabric to do so.

Scatter Garden is sewn up to Installment 4 with only two to go.  The next installment is cut and ready to stitch.

Also in work is Bonnie Hunter's Winter Mystery, Lupine & Laughter.  I'm done up to Part 7 that was released yesterday; blue 2 1/2" squares cut and started on the cutting of neutral 2 1/2" by 6 1/2" rectangles.  I wondered when we'd be stitching more blue.

I also have Fancy Feathers Bird Topper and Kottages in work.  I am trying to figure out how to make Fancy Feathers wider.  There is some embroidery yet to do on the birds feathers.

I am also a bit nervous about creating the fence around the 100 houses of Kottages.  It is a new to me technique.  The 100 2 1/2" houses need to be sewn together then a picket fence is added as a border.

Also in work is a cross stitch project, Kittens.  I have finished two of the 12 blocks.  This project gives me hand stitching in the evenings.  I am always one to keep my hands busy.

As you can see I have lots going on; more than my usual one or two projects in work.  These projects are all to be finished before I take on yet another.  Oops...nearly forgot that I'll be going to Road to California this year with not one but two workshops Tiny Piecing and When Perfect Isn't the Point.  Looks like I better get busy =^.^=

Counting my stash continues again this year which captures usage and purchases.  In 2025 276 yards of material found it's way under my needle.  I did need to purchase 150, but sometimes you must purchase to complete!  Net fabric used this year was 125 yards.  Close to what happened with yardage the previous year.

I am catching up on UFOs both from earlier lists or the 2025 list.  A finish is a finish and I am proud of each one.  I don't think it possible not to have a UFO.  My 2026 UFO List still needs two more projects to be added.  You will see it soon.

I continue this year in the Secretary role with Sunshine Quilters.  I meet up with quilters just about every two weeks to sew.  I volunteered with Kennel Comforters to make pet beds which takes place once a month.  I do keep busy with my passion of sewing.

My list of finishes in 2025 follows.  You can see photos of each one if you go to my website and look in the page "2025".
