2026 QUILT IDEAS!

I’m always figuring out 2026 Project

Here are some I may or may not get too.

We will see,😝 

HodgePodge has been on my mind for a very long time.

Indecidive about the fabrics.

I am lovin this Navy, Green and Rust!

 I’ve been dilly dallying with this one for way to long. 

It’s got some wonderful OOP fabrics in the mix on the ROUNDABOUT! 

I suppose I could JUST take this to retreat and see what happens. 

Guess what, I did cut this one out and it’s sew vibrant 

I might need to sew it just to brighten up the dreary winter days.

I want to make this for a March Irish Quilt.

Maybe I’ll get it cut before March.

And one that I’ve thought about for a very long time…

Finally is cut. Another Ghastlies Quilt.

You’ll have to wait and see it to believe it! 

This list could go on and on……..

I’ve already finished 3 quilts NOT on the LIST! 

2025 QUILT FINISHES

It’s Valentine’s Day

And I love my quilts!

I hope you do too!

I didn't get a full photo of this beachy feeling quilt for

Laressa, my person in Myrtle Beach who helps me

book my resort when I visit my son!

Summer Picnic is a winner!

Starstruck Ghastlies used up a lot of my OOP stash!

I'm talking early lines from 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012

Twisted Geese, by Zen Chic was a fun one

and now I'm not afraid of a gaggle of geese!

This was a pattern test called Sweet Mae.

And the FQs were by Zen Chic as well.

A wonky churn dash used up a layer cake I had in my stash.

I love this design...tutorial by Missouri Star, Freestyle Churn Dash.

I finally finished some Ghastlie wonky star blocks into a top.

This was all part of a IG swap many years ago.

Oh now we are talking about some more wonky flying geese,

Monkey Wrench pattern and more Zen Chic fabrics.

Fall Breeze by V & Co

Fabric is GRUNGE set on a light gray tone on tone.

I finished a baby quilt for our great-granddaughter

and Great-grandad Phil snuggled under it!

When she arrives…her name will be

Anora Blair Chatman

Last but not least was Felicity the Feisty Flamingo.

A mini quilt for my sewing room!

Collage by Laurie Heine!

I had a good year...and 2026 will be as much fun as 2025!

KWILTY GIRLS WINTER RETREAT 2026

I made it to a Kwilty Girls Retreat!

I have missed sew much the last 6 months due to

My hubby s health. He is getting better

And finally at a place where I felt I child leave him alone.

He did habe a friend take him to lunch and check on him.

And his daughter covered one day for me

Sew nice to have some backup.

Caregiving is a full time job…

I need a raise!

This girl needed GIRL TIME.

It may have begun with my 

Wonky FG Patty quilted for me!

I sewed up this Scot’s Plaid design for my hubby.

He turns 80 in February and 

Was a TV repairman for 40 years!
