2024 Wrap Up

I haven’t done a great job at keeping up with the blog over this past year. Here’s what I got done: 

The Estevan Exhibition Association and West Coast Amusement give each other a gift at the end of the fair. I was asked to make a quilt for the EEA to gift to West Coast Amusement. I used their colours to create the custom quilt. I didn’t get a great picture of the quilt. I seem to be slacking when it comes to taking pictures and labeling quilts. 

I was asked to make a grad gift for the end of June. The 4 corners of the quilt are made of her Mom and Dad’s clothing and everything else is the graduates. She loved it!

These are socks - Jawsome Dad socks!! They were a lot more work than they should have been!! The background is her dad’s shirt from the military. 

Baby blankets were incorporated to the front and used on the back.

Whole Cloth Quilts - these are quickly becoming one of my favourite quilt to make for baby gifts. While quilting it, I ran out of bobbin thread - my machine doesn’t warn me anymore!!

 

I started this one years ago! I pulled it out to finish it off! I added 2 - 3 rows then called it quits! 

I think it needs a bright back to finish it off!!

This is the first time I’ve made a pattern twice. I put the fat quarter pack in my shopping cart about a year ago and finally ordered it in September. 

It’s busy but I like it!!

This is the last quilt I made in 2024. It is for Trina. She needs a car/hockey quilt. I’ve struggled to find material for her. When I saw this, it screamed Trina!!

I quilted it with straight lines. 1/2 inch, 1 inch, 1.5 inches and 2 inches away from the seam lines. I didn’t use them all from each seam to give it some variety.

Goals for 2025:

1. No new patterns, kits, or material I like until July.

2. Finish one quilt each month - I have many many quilt tops in the closet

3. Blog more often!

Happy New Year
