I am changing up the 26 Projects post in 2025. Instead of posting all the projects every month, I am going to post new projects finished in that month. Then the year end roundup will be a true round up. This will also make the posts shorter.

Finished January 2025 Quilt Projects

Finished (for me!) January Donation Quilts

As you know, I don’t quilt much. I really enjoy the collaborative effort of making a top and allowing someone else to quilt it. Thus, the quilts below are mostly tops, but I will include a finished quilt once someone else finishes it for the group.

Finished January Bags and Small Projects

This category covers bags, toys, aprons and knitting as well as other non-quilt projects.

January Projects Ready for Quilting / In the Quilting Process

• Nothing at the moment

January Projects In the Finishing Process

• Nothing now

All the WIPs from all Time

WIPs are projects on which I am working. This means that I am past the cutting out of pieces stage,  some sewing has taken place.

• La Passacaglia – I am working on the border, but need to work more and harder
• Old Town – several clues finished
• Superbloom tote using Hindsight fabric –started!

Cut Out & Stopped

• EPPic
• Oxbow
• Rose Petrillo bag – I found the pieces for this bag cut out, but not sewn.

Still UFOs

I still have UFOs. Who doesn’t, after all? A project in the ‘UFO’ category means I am stalled, it hasn’t been worked on in awhile or it is waiting its turn to be worked on. The list is a lot shorter and the projects are newer, for the most part.

I am annoyed that some of these are still UFOs. I have to give myself credit for completing some of them last year.

1. Handbag Sampler – I found the blocks! I found them in a bin I thought I had thoroughly searched! I also found the fabrics carefully stored together. Hooray!!
2. Self Portrait: started in 2006 at a class at Quilting Adventures in Richmond, Virginia. After a brief burst of inspiration, I am stalled on this again. As one of my oldest (I am pretty sure) UFOs, I put it on my blog and out into the Twitterverse and Diane suggested that I not consider this as a self portrait. I think that strategy is a great idea. I am now trying to think of a new persona for her.
3. Serendipity Lady – I am still planning to take this piece to be framed. It might need a bit of quilting first.
4. Fabric of the Year 2020
5. Fabric of the Year 2021 – I may combine 2020 and 2021 into a COVID edition.
6. Fabric of the Year 2022 – yes, I added this one to the list, but this is the last one I plan to do.
7. Chain Link – have the pattern, have some squares, but haven’t started sewing yet.
