Another gift and empty spools..........

For Christmas I not only got a Charley Harper snow globe, but also got a signed and numbered, framed print.  My wall color is a little off in this photo, it's really a grayed lavender.

Number and signature.

Even though I only quilted 9 of my 33 finishes on my longarm, I was still able to empty 3 cones.  Lots of piecing took place in my studio.  5 of the spools had a lot of thread on them with their skinny posts.

I was happy that 12 of my 2024 projects were made from either pieces already cut or blocks already made.  That cleared out several project boxes and bins.  6 of the 12 have been quilted and 6 remain as tops.

2024 yearly recap..............

I made 28 quilt tops in 2024 and if I counted right, half of them were quilted in 2024.

The collage maker wouldn't cooperate to make a collage like the quilt tops so I had to use a different layout.  I had 33 finishes which includes 14 of the tops made in the same year.  

I still have 32 tops waiting to be quilted plus some other small pieces that aren't in the count for various reasons.  20 of the tops are in the 66" or shorter category and some will be ditch quilted by me.

 

December 2024 monthly recap................

There were 3 finishes and no new quilt tops, and that is great.  I do have blocks ready to make into a top for next month.

The neutral color batik 16 patch is 71" x 93", the last of my big quilts to be quilted.  I still have a smaller top made from the same group of blocks that will be quilted this year.

The pink/blue triangle quilt is 47" x 59" and I'll put it with the stack of baby quilts. Kaffe Fassett and Tula Pink fabrics.

The last one reminds me of rows of fences.  It is 39" x 59" and will also go into the stack of baby quilts.

Tomorrow's post will be my yearly recap.  

2024 ended with my son-in-law's mother (97) passing on Sunday the 29th and my older brother (85) passing yesterday.

Happy New Year and hopes for good health for everyone!
