January 2025 Mysteries and Sew Alongs

Here’s something a little different from the normal quilt along.  If you are familiar with Round Robins check out the Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR) that will be starting on January 13. Do you  want to know more about it? Go to Quilting Gail’s blog post to find out all the details.  https://quiltinggail.com/2024/12/22/announcing-the-2025-sahrr/. 

The Ft Wayne chapter of the American Sewing Guild is sponsoring a mystery quilt starting in February, 2025.  The quilt is big — 100.5 x 100.5” but a smaller wall hanging that is 40 x 40” is also available.  From what I can tell the directions will be loaded each month onto their web site. Here’s the url that will take you directly to a You Tube video showing the leader’s fabric choices and where to down load the fabric requirements. https://www.asgfortwayne.org/events/mystery-quilt/. Previous year’s mysteries with directions are also available on the same page. 

Sarah’s Softies is hosting a quilt along on her Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/groups/sarahs.softies.quiltalongs.  It will start in January. The quilt is Sarah’s Succulents made the traditional way rather than paper piecing.  Fabric requirements are available now. You can sign up for Sarah’s newsletter to receive emails of the patterns and an additional free pattern. https://subscribepage.io/Sarahs?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2NBBOizxQLz6fzzyeFZxhoFO91WFhgo7QgyG6eX-A408XPyiKaG5I_dvo_aem_J29n0gTVufxVHj3JR9GIEg

2025 Minnesota Quilters Online Mystery begins January 1, 2025 and runs until October 1, 2025. Nonmembers are charged a fee of $47. There is also a Facebook group for paid members. You can choose between a queen at 96” square or a throw at 64” square. It’s not too late to sign up and get going although clues are emailed on the first day of the month at  11:59 am. I’m guessing it’s central time. $

Join Canadian Quilters quilt along, True Colors 2025. It begins in mid January. Look for it at https://canadianquilter.com/truecoloursqal/ 

Effervescence Quilt Along started at the beginning of December and will run through July 2025. Fabric requirements were released in early December but cutting doesn’t start until January.  This is based on Yvonne’s Improvisational quilt, Effervescence,  but she says the new pattern is made with conventional piecing.  Here’s the beginning post https://quiltingjetgirl.com/2024/11/15/announcing-the-effervescence-quilt-along-signups-open/. You must purchase the pattern, which will be sent in sections by email as the quilt along proceeds. $
