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.
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!!

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
Hugs & a Kiss Finished
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.
Orangeade donation top
Finished January Bags and Small Projects
This category covers bags, toys, aprons and knitting as well as other non-quilt projects.

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

Eight quilts and a table runner is nothing to sneeze at. I really wanted to make more and I can try again next year.
Finished (for me!) Donation Quilts
As you know, I don’t quilt (as in the stitching of the 3 layers together) much. I really enjoy the collaborative effort of making a top and allowing someone else to quilt and bind it.

La Passacaglia – I am working on the border. I am slightly stalled, but will get back to it
Cut Out & Stopped
EPPic Bag – I need to make a cover/ main exterior piece for this bag. I was thinking of a Pineapple block, but haven’t gotten back to it yet. I am also kind of scared of this pattern. I know what to expect from Sew sweetness patterns, but this is a new designer to me.

Superbloom tote using Hindsight fabric – not started, so maybe it isn’t a UFO? I did pull the fabric, supplies and found a photo I plan to use as inspiration that others posted, so I am one step closer.
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!!

Time marches on. The year is more than half over and I ate up most of my yardage progress with the fabric that I bought on vacation. I don’t regret it. I had a lot of fun on that trip and saw some great quilt shops. Still I am back in the green and continuing to sew up a storm.

Handbag Sampler – this is still the forgotten project. I found one block in the not-too-distant past, but otherwise I don’t actually know exactly where the blocks are hiding. I crawled up in the far reaches of my fabric closet to see if I could find them and they weren’t where I thought. I am sort of mystified as to where they could be. I haven’t even found a picture of all the blocks. WTH?
