New Year, New Project!

I couldn’t resist joining the 2025 Block of the Month hosted by the amazing Sherri at A Quilting Life! It’s completely FREE (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love free quilting fun?) and only ONE block per month.

Now, should I really be starting a new project? 🤔 Absolutely not. 😂 But hey, it’s only one block a month—how hard could it be? (Famous last words, right?)

This is the perfect chance to try new techniques, stay inspired throughout the year, and connect with a community of fellow quilters. 🪡💬 Plus, it feels so satisfying to watch a quilt come together one step at a time.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a little joy and creativity to your 2025, join me! Let’s quilt along and have some fun. 🌟

Are you starting any new quilting projects this year? Drop a comment—I’d love to hear all about them! ❤️

Happy New Year, everyone! I know we are actually in the middle of January, but to me, as long as it is January it is okay to say Happy New Year! As the calendar turns to 2025, I’m thrilled to kick off another exciting year of quilting and sewing adventures with all of you. I am determined to “Get My Blog” back! This blog is where passion meets precision, where creativity finds expression, and where cherished memories take tangible form through every stitch.

What to Expect in 2025

This year, I’ll be bringing you weekly posts filled with inspiration, insights, and invaluable tips for all things quilting and sewing. Here are just a few highlights of what’s in store:

  • Behind-the-Scenes Projects: Follow along as I create memory quilts, pillows, bears, and more. I’ll share the stories behind the pieces and how they come to life.
  • Tips and Tricks: From perfecting your seams to creative ways to repurpose clothing, I’ll offer advice to help make your projects shine.
  • Fun Challenges: Let’s sew along together! Whether it’s a seasonal quilt or a quick weekend project, we’ll stay inspired.
  • Tools of the Trade: Discover my favorite gadgets and tools that make quilting and sewing a joy.
  • Memory Crafting: Learn how to turn cherished clothing into keepsakes that preserve love and history for generations.

Looking Ahead

I’m setting my sights on making 2025 my most productive and creative year yet. Quilting has always been about more than fabric and thread; it’s about connection—to our past, to our loved ones, and to a community of crafters who share the same love for this timeless art.

If you’re a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes into the world of sewing, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s make this space interactive! Share your questions, ideas, or even your own projects. Together, we’ll turn inspiration into action.

Stay Connected

Be sure to subscribe to the blog so you never miss a post. Follow me on social media for even more updates, sneak peeks, and real-time progress on my projects. Let’s connect, create, and celebrate the joy of crafting all year long.

Here’s to an incredible 2025 filled with stitches, stories, and success. I’m so excited to embark on this journey with you!

Happy quilting and sewing!

Monday Morning Star Count – 2014/18

Why do I always overestimate what I can accomplish?  Well, I guess it is better to aim high and fall a little short, than not to aim at all!

I spent most of this week finishing quilts for our camper and then working with my husband to open up the camper, put up the summer room, etc.
The good news is, that I packed up a sewing kit to leave in the camper since we will be spending half of our time here until the Fall.  And as you can see, I finished two flowers.
I finally got to see how the quilt I made for our bed in the camper would actually fit and I love it!  Nice to see that my measurements were actually very accurate.  While I was making it, I was crossing my fingers that I did not miscalculate anything as there was no way for me to test it out until Spring!
So here is to more progress next week!  Thanks to Jessica at Life Under Quilts for allowing me to participate in the Monday  Morning Star Count!  You are a wonderful group of people and I love watching your progress and wonderful projects!
