#2025QuiltingQ3CheckIn

Well, time flew by once again, and it's time to report in for the #2025QuiltingQ3CheckIn with Yvonne of @quiltingjetgirl. I did look back to my original 2025 Quilting Planning Party post, and I'm pretty much on track for the year. I did add back a quilt project to today's listing, as I'd intentionally postponed it until fall/winter of this year. Otherwise, I'm pretty much taking things as they come, which is working well enough. So here's what I've accomplished (or not) during this last quarter.

Quilts

• Effervescence - After participating in the Effervescence Sew Along with Yvonne @quiltingjetgirl I finished a big bold, beautiful quilt. I'm super pleased with it.

• Ode to Joy - A Bee Sewcial finish that took most of my focus for weeks on end, but I'm thrilled with how it turned out.

• The 2025 Seattle MQG BOM, Calendar Cascade, is still in the works, but I'm working on getting caught up.
• Sweet Sixteen - an impromptu project when I joined the Summer Scrap Bash hosted by Brittany @loandbeholdstitchery. It was made completely from stash.

• Bright Side Boo - another pretty impromptu project, but perfect for the season.

• The Plus Progression - this one, made totally from scraps, is still in the works. I've begun work on a pieced back, but it's been set aside to work on other projects. Hope to get back to it soon-ish!

• Luminaries II - Begun last December (a variation on this one), this was a project I intentionally set aside until holiday-time of this year. So I'm hoping to get it back out in November and hopefully finish it up to use in December.

Sewing

• Of course I had plenty of Beesewcial blocks to make. First up was a prompt of You Me We for Jen @jen.broemel, where we made 12" blocks then cut them into quarters.

• Then it was Fantastical Flowers in September for Karen @capitolaquilter. She said if we wanted, we could make a pollinator for our second block, so I made a hummingbird.

• Then for October, it was Inside/Outside for Felicity @felicityquilts. This was a really unique prompt, complete with raw edges showing and stitching with neon or dark threads.

• 
  

Handwork

• I'm still stitching samplers from the Dropcloth @dropcloth Floral Stitches II series:

• The Dropcloth Summer ABC Bloom Stitchalong was a sampler that got turned into a needle roll, which was very fun

• 
  
  
  

• A Year of Doodles - A sampler from Stitch Doodle Design @stitchdoodledesign, I'm still stitching on this each month too.

Community

• Still regularly blogging and publishing monthly issues of The Scrap Basket. 
• Continuing participation with my local Seattle MQG. A bonus was being able to attend "I Heard It On the Radio" PNQFAM Artist Reception.
• Went to see the work of a guild friend at the Art Gallery at Lynnwood City Hall exhibit.
• Just joined Season 3 of Block Studies Collective with Tara Faughnan @tarafaughnan. I'm looking forward to playing with this month's prompt soon.
• And, I appreciated a feature with Kim of Leland Ave Studios - Meet Me In My Studio.

So it was a pretty busy quarter, I'd say! Here's to more of the same going forward.
