A Year of Quilting, Reflection & Small Moments That Counted

Reflecting on My 2025 Quilting Journey

Before I list the quilts and sewing projects I worked on this year, I want to pause for a moment.

Reflection matters. Not to count finishes, not to measure productivity, and definitely not to compare with anyone else’s sewing journey. This year reminded me that progress doesn’t always look loud. Some seasons are steady. Some are quiet. Many are made up of small pockets of time, 20 minutes here, a few stitches there and THAT still counts.

If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t “make enough” this year, I hope this list encourages you.
These projects aren’t about numbers or finishes — they’re about showing up when I could and finding joy in the process.

Abloom Quilt | Quilted & Gifted

My Abloom Quilt Finish (Sew Sampler – May 2025)

I’m so happy to finally be sharing this finish — my Abloom quilt, made from the May 2025 Sew Sampler Box. This is one of those projects that quietly stayed with me throughout the year, and seeing it fully quilted and finished feels especially satisfying.

The fabric collection, Abloom by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics, is just beautiful. Soft, cheerful florals with a timeless feel — the kind of prints that instantly lift your mood. I especially loved working with the panel that came in the box; it really anchors the quilt and makes it feel special.

I followed the pattern exactly as written, and honestly, it was such an enjoyable make. Even though I did experience a little stall along the way (which I shared in my previous blog post HERE> , the construction itself was smooth and fun. This is something I’ve come to really appreciate about Sew Sampler projects — they’re thoughtfully designed and a pleasure to sew.

Best Quilting Tools I Used in 2025

My Favourite Quilting Tools of 2025 (The Ones I Reached For Again & Again)

As the year winds down and I tidy up my sewing room for a fresh start in 2026, I always find myself reflecting on the quilting tools that truly made a difference this year. Some tools were pleasant surprises, some old favourites stayed loyal, and some became total game-changers for my quilting workflow.

If you’re looking to refresh your tool kit or find great gift ideas for a quilting friend, here are my most-used quilting tools of 2025

Best Block of the Month Quilt Patterns & Kits

I’ve been working on the Designer Mystery 2023 quilt — Fat Quarter Shop’s long-running and beloved mystery BOM program. This quilt project has taken me a little longer than planned because I kept contemplating different layout ideas. Part of me wanted to redesign it entirely, but since I had already cut most of the finishing pieces, I eventually decided to stick with the provided layout and just tweak it slightly to match my style. Sometimes the best thing is to keep going at your own pace, enjoy the process, and let the quilt evolve naturally.

One thing I’ve loved about this quilt from the very beginning is the fabric. Camille Roskelley has always been one of my favorite designers, and this collection is absolutely gorgeous. Every finished block feels like a joy and I simply enjoyed them individually, and when placed together, it’s shaping up to be a truly beautiful quilt. The quilt measures generously once completed, and I already know this will be one of those quilts I treasure for years.

Curious how my Designer Mystery 2023 is coming together and why BOM programs are perfect for your next quilt? Continue to read the full story below:
