It's the first day of the New Year 2025 and the call is out to organise our projects for the Chook Shed Challenge. It's always a bit of a worry to me that I can list ten projects so easily, and there are plenty more waiting in the wings. Guess I just have too many UFOs.
So my list is as follows. I have to admit that the first five were on my list for 2024.
1. Elephants on Parade. This top was completed last year, and I would now like to get it machine quilted.
2. Pink/Grey Cot Quilt. I made this bonus top last year to use up the final strips from the elephant quilt. Needs machine quilting.
3. Houses. Another top I assembled last year, to utilise the many house blocks I had stitched up years ago. This needs machine quilting too.
4. House Cot Quilt. I had enough leftover house blocks to put together a bonus cot quilt top, same story, needs machine quilting.
5. Christmas Stitchery. This was on my list for last year but never got touched during it's month as we were traveling. The stitcheries are done and need to be assembled.
6. Wheels of the Bus Panel. A transportation panel (from a rescued duvet) that I plan to make into a whole cloth quilt for a boy.
7. Butterflies. Inside my bag of butterfly blocks, stitched during a previous Rainbow Scrap Challenge a couple of years ago are blocks for several butterfly quilts. I'll be happy to finish one of them off, or maybe two?
8. Burgundy Log Cabin. Quite an old project and I brought it up to Levin with me when we shifted house about 12 years ago. It's been sitting patiently in the bag, I think the blocks are done and I'm up to piecing the border. Any work to take it a bit further will be helpful.
9. Jungle Panel. Another panel to work on, this one was received from my former neighbour, which will make a cute cot quilt.
10. Pencil Pouches. I want to make several more of these to donate to Foster Hope and Grandparents Raising Grandchildren.

Happy New Year Jenny. That's a good looking list and will help to keep your fingers and mind busy this year. I look forward to seeing your progress and all of the Sew Wot show and tells.
Good luck with all your challenges.
Happy New Year Jenny. You have a great lists of projects. I added some new projects into my list as I didn't want to admit to a lot of unfinished projects. My report card states. must do better in 2025! the wheels on the bus panel will make a great boys quilt.
You make it look so easy to pick ten projects to finish in 2025. I'd be stewing for a long time because I'm not so sure I WANT to finish some of the projects I've started. Ha! But honestly, your stack looks doable. I hope you make time like this to keep your hands busy, and then find great fulfillment in achieving your goals.
Looking forward to your finishes
That is a great list, Jenny. I hope this year brings you some joy.
I love that, 'the first 5 on my list last year!'
I have been working on a 10th anniversary embroidery for my kids. They are celebrating their 20th this year! AND, I've misplaced it!
I hope 2025 is good to you!
Great list. I can already see many finishes coming up again this year.
God bless.
