I sewed a lot this year!
Here are my favorites.
The photos on the labels show him wearing that specific shirt.
With daughter Julie and granddaughters Alyssa and Rachel.
(I've used other people's shirts and neckties in quilts this year. Other than these flannel shirts I haven't tackled his yet.)
All batiks. Accepted for the Wisconsin Quilt Expo in September.
This was the first year I did SAHRR. I have the starter block ready for 2026. It begins in a couple of weeks.
It began as a way to use up some black and white prints and before I knew it I had a finished quilt.
Accepted for the Wisconsin Quilt Expo in September.
#4 Rainbow Nine-Patch. One of my RSC projects.
Each color required 72 2" squares. I tried for 36 different prints (2 squares) of each color.
#5 I made wheelchair-sized Ohio Stars quilts in each of the monthly RSC colors.
The blue tote bag came about because I trimmed the quilted quilt too much.

Your flannel pillows are just awesome, Nann! Those make lovely mementos for your daughter and granddaughters with the photos of Stevens on the back, especially. I also enjoyed following along as you made those Ohio Star quilts in every color of the month - that's a great accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Nann! Your "Best of 2025" quilt projects are all so wonderful! I don't think I can choose a favorite. The shirt and suspender pillows are so touching. 🩷 I might have to steal your Rainbow Nine-patch idea (if you don't object. )
ReplyDeletekudos nann for a prolific sewing year and your excellent show entries!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use for Steven's flannel shirts! You had quite a productive year. Glad you've found time to get out and about.
ReplyDeleteA lot of beautiful finishes, my favorite is your SAHRR quilt. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteYes, you did make a lot of quilts in 2025. I expect to see some new beauties this year.
ReplyDeleteLove Grayscale. The SAHRR is absolutely gorgeous. But those plaid pillows from Stevens' Flannel Shirts are the most heart-melting of all. Sending you hugs and best wishes for 2026.
ReplyDeleteThe memory pillows are gorgeous. What a beautiful way to honor Steven. Beautiful Ohio star quilts. Happy new year.
ReplyDeleteThose flannel pillows are wonderful and such a loving tribute! Wonderful quilts, love the SAHRR, so pretty! Wishing you a safe and happy New Year Nann!
ReplyDeleteYou had a busy year! All those things you created and time for travel too, you amaze me.
