Early 2025 updates

Life continues to happen, but you can bet I will always plan to quilt.

Tattoo quilt: my plan to go to Katrina’s to quilt the Tattoo Quilt in February was thwarted by a bout with the flu. Katrina and I have now rescheduled for the first weekend in April. The quilt top, backing, binding and threads are packed and ready to go.

Next new project from the list is the Sierra log cabin quilt with the Jennifer Sampou SKY Ombre fabrics (that’s Jennifer’s version of the quilt on the right). I’m pumped about this one, and while it may take longer than expected due to my tendency to overthink everything, I think I’ll set a timer while working on it and see what happens.

 Next project from The Bins: either Yellow Brick Road (if I can find it), or…

IMT Indonesian Cabanas - a flimsy

 

IMT Indonesian Cabanas (a flimsy). I know where the Cabanas quilt is, so I’m thinking it will win this battle, or…

The Bin mate of the Down & Dirty Civil War Repro Quilt was a Blooming Nine Patch, table topper size, entirely out of Asian fabrics. I never got past making the center nine patch block before I became distracted by something else, but now I can’t see letting that Bin go up on a shelf with that one lonely, little project.

And I bought another Quiltworx pattern—Prickly Pinecones—it’s a tree skirt. Maybe that should be my first Quiltworx pattern.

I am close to finishing the quilting on the Down & Dirty Civil War Repro Quilt. I hope to finish that this week, but our son is still in the hospital. 

Y’all, we are on the cusp of Spring! That means crazy weather, daffodils, planting all the plants we’ve been keeping in the garage, and more quilts!

Go make!
