So many amazing projects!!!! Love all the inspiration!
Well, that’s alot of sewing! Very cute patterns. Good luck!
Wow. That’s a lot of quilting. I’m planning on doing at least two of them. Already have the fabric and notes to self to remember when to start!!! Love everything Fat Quarter Shop.
Thank you for putting this all together for us in a list, very helpful. I hope to do the 250th America SAL and use all my Minick and Simpson, fabrics for a true Americana feel! Hope to do the Xmass mystery quilt always fun! thanks for all the Free patterns and Excellent customer service all these years. Kimberly I really enjoy your lives and making us all feel like your quilt family!!!
Adding some to my list 🙂
Now that just overwhelmed me. You really set the bar high. I hope to a couple of the sew alongside next year. I really love all things done by Lori Holt, but I also enjoy Sherry,’s A Quilting Life Block of the month! “Sew” many to choose from😊! Thank you for all you do!

Oh my goodness what a gorgeous line up for next year! So many lovely projects! I know I’m doing the Sewcialites for sure, and the mysteries which are my favourites, but the Tilda embroidery quilt is amazing and I’m sure I can’t resist that one!
Sewsocialite, thanksgiving row by row, 250 years, a quilting life BOM, coriander bom
I plan to make one quilt in 2026 but have 12 uncompleted quilts that I would love to complete at some point. I seem to be a starter and not a finisher!
I want to do the Christmas mystery quilt in those gorgeous Poinsettia and Pear fabrics! 🎄 🍐 Every year I’ve done Sherri’s bom and will do it again this year! 😊
Quilts that I am making for the rest of this year and next are the American flag using my own stash of reds and blues. I have all the stripe blocks done and am working on the stars.
Next I will work on the Prairie Home kit which will be a raffle quilt for my historical society.
I also want to do the Hearth and Home pattern using remnants from the quilts I have complete over the past ten years.
Then I will challenge myself to do the paper pieced woven star.
Those will keep me busy until the summer.
I don’t get as many quilts done as I hand quilt the tops. But i do love making them.
I’m unfortunately on a fabric no buy until I get all or most of my wips and ufo’s taken care of. The thing is I seem to lose interest once I have the tops completed, or if the piecing becomes too repetitive, I want to move on to something else. I’ve come to realize that I don’t like making large quilts, I would rather make smaller projects like runners and wall hangings. I really need to hunker down and complete the things I start. It’s going to be tough as there are quite a few fabric lines coming out in 2026 that I really want. A Cat Named Stitch and Purrs and Boos are at the top of my list, so hopefully that will give me the motivation to get things done, so that I can buy those lines without feeling guilty.
