Well, we made it to 2025! This is my final finish of 2024. I made it for a special family friend, Jackson.
I had it quilted by my friend, Scarlett. I love this quilting design. It reminds me of toys.
Okay, now to see how I did with my list of 2024 goals. In order:
Finish this baby quilt
Completed and Gifted!
Finish Jill's Folk Art Quilt
Done - and it Won the State Ribbon for Applique - yay!
Finish this quilt. Literally a fail on this - nothing happened.
Finish this Community Outreach Quilt.
Finished and returned to the guild for donating.
Nutmeg Quilt
Done! Quilted and has a facing.
Quilt this top. Total fail - nothing happened on this one.
Finish this top - Nope - but it is all basted and I'm working on it.
Make a little quilt like this block for a friend.
Done! and sent to Colorado.
Set and quilt this top. NOPE
I did, however, decide not to do this setting. Even after I made all those scrappy flying geese! I also sewed the middle part together.
Bonus Stuff -
I finished this bag after it sitting idle for 2 1/2 years!
I also made this quilt as a wedding gift!
I finished my extra long crochet scarf and a matching hat.
I am continuing to work on my Jane Stickle blocks.
I haven't set my intentions for this year, and I may not. I feel like I stayed very focused and did get a lot accomplished.
I give myself a solid B.
Thank you to all still check in here from time to time. I appreciate my quilt community now more than ever.
I wish you a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year!

first another great post after long hiatus! second you are tempting me again with those eagles...i have an applique pattern for them and closer to jumping in....third respectable number of finishes and more ahead no doubt...and last thank you for inspiring me in 2024 and more to come i hope!
Despite not getting to some of your UFO’s, you were very productive this past year. I love the way the star quilts look with the variation in lights, mediums and darks in the various blocks. Well done! I have a list of UFO’s to work on this year…but what did I do two days ago??…pulled out some fabrics for a new project! Here’s to another year of fun, creativity and finishes! Happy new year!
You are a tough grader. Let’s bump that grade up to at least a B+. Jill’s quilt and ribbon add many points to bump up that grade average.
You inspire us. I should update my UFO list this year and get busy!
Wishing you a healthy, happy and productive 2025.
So good to hear from you and about your quilting progress. Your baby quilt encourages me to think outside the traditional baby quilt patterns. And I have to make two by spring. Glad you got the state ribbon. Hope you check in more often. Happy New Year. Dotti in CT
My big goal for the year is to learn how to make an orange peel block as lovely as the one in this post. Hints or tips?
Congratulations on all you accomplished!! Your quilts are beautiful, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you work on this year.
A lovely recap of your accomplishments in 2024! So many lucky folks received one of your beautiful quilts and I'm sure they are wrapped up in quilty goodness during this cold spell. I love the eagle quilt - so bright and cheerful. Wishing you a very prosperous 2025! Kelley Secrest
Nice post! I always enjoy seeing your quilts. Happy new year and happy quilting!
Great work Barb! I think it’s totally OK to not set a bunch of goals for the new year. If you’re passionate about the process, you’ll enjoy working on things and that’s enough!😊
