Quilting output was definitely down this year….

… with just 8 quilts finished. That’s compared to 14 last year. And 24 the year before.

There’s a couple reasons for this. 2025 was exceptionally busy workwise. There was no sneaking in an afternoon here or there to sew. I also spent a lot more time in the garden in spring, summer and fall. And I don’t regret that at all.

Unlike previous years – there’s only one baby quilt (the penguins). The rest are lap size or larger. So they definitely take longer.

Of the quilts above, four were gifted, one I kept, and the rest went in the shop. There’s still one top to be quilted (Relic’s quilt) – but Mom is doing that one for me. It will probably be the first finished quilt of 2026 – though probably not until February or March.

I’ve also got my Kittens in Cups to finish up, the log cabins, and I’ve got a new baby quilt commission I’m soooo excited about! I think 2026 is going to be a great year for quilting!
