Yvonne/Quilting JETgirl is once again hosting her 2025 Quilting Planning Party, a time to look back on 2024 and then to consider plans and goals for this year. I'm feeling like I met most goals fairly well last year, and am happy to have had plenty of quilt finishes. That said, I'm ready to look forward, as there seems to be lots of loose ends in the ole studio. As in 2024, the main goal for 2025, is to think small, do what sounds fun, and enjoy the process. Here are the projects I'm hoping to concentrate on in the coming months:
Quilts
- Finish Merry Mix!
- Effervescence Sew Along with Yvonne @quiltingjetgirl.
- 2025 Seattle MQG BOM - yet to be announced!
- Mini mini quilts for art swap - I'll share more about this when it happens.
- Small quilt with triangle blocks begun in Perfectly Pointless workshop with Maria Shell.
- Luminaries II - Begun in early December, it pretty much sat on my sewing table the rest of the month. Debating whether to finish it sooner or later. We'll see.
- Participate in the Pantone Quilt Challenge 2025.
Sewing
- Block Studies Collective months 4-6, which are as much fabric play as anything. Hopefully I'll be dabbling with this month's improv arcs yet this week.
- Bee Sewcial - A new prompt has been announced, and we have a few changes in the group. My month to share a prompt this year isn't until May, so until then, I'll be making blocks in response to the prompts of my bee mates.
Handwork
- Floral Stitches - several more months to go!
- A Year of Doodles - a new pre-printed stitchery from Stitchdoodles.
Community
- I plan to continue with regular blogging and publishing monthly or so issues of The Scrap Basket.
- Continuing participation with my local Seattle MQG.
- Join with Open Jar @open____jar, hosted by Jen Broemel and Bob Bosscher. It’s about trying new things, so who knows what that quite means. The first prompt is LEAP, so I'm mulling over where that can take me.
- In the next few weeks, I'll be sharing my 'research' on a good match for Pantone's COTY 2025, Mocha Mousse.
- Continue to periodically contribute mini mini quilts to Free Little Art Galleries.
- I'm going to QuiltCon!
Like last year, I want to work through that list of quilts, letting the unexpected sneak in there often. And of course, I can pretty much guarantee that there will be smaller sewn non-quilt projects sprinkled in. Let's just see what the year brings!
Linking up with Quilting JETgirl's 2025 Quilting Planning Party.
Oh, I am very excited that you will be at QuiltCon - I hope we have a few moments to visit together. And hooray for mini mini quilts - sometimes the smallest makes can be the most satisfying (I love the thrill of a start and finish in a day). Thanks for linking up and I look forward to seeing your creative pursuits!
ReplyDeleteI just pulled out a fresh notebook to begin a making dreams list for 2025. I love the Pantone color and look forward to seeing more about that challenge. Now I am off to work on my Block Studies Collective.
