November has officially begun which means there are only 2 months of 2025 left. Do you think 2025 has been whizzing by like I do? It also means I need to start figuring out Christmas presents for the family. The grands have gotten older and seem to prefer gift cards. It sure makes my life easier. But I still like to have little gifts to go with so they have a few things to open.
In the mean time, let's see what's been happening on my goals last week.
10/27/25
✅Baste Halloween top and quilt on domestic machine — finished! Click on this link to read all about it.
✅Continue making Benny blocks — more blocks and parts finished.
✅Sew section 5 of Tall Tree and keep working on skirt sections — both items are done!
✅Continue working on Benny top — see second goal. OOPS - didn’t notice I had listed it twice. Unfortunately I didn't get twice as much done on it!
Not a lot of photos this week. You can see the Halloween quilt I finished by clicking on the link above.
Since I figured the number of pieces I would need for Benny quilt wrong I decided to cut some more novelty pieces to go into it. I may be cutting more as I only went through a small number of my novelty fabrics.
Here's the first skirt section of the Tall Tree pattern. I realized it would take a lot longer to make than the other sections. It made sense to start on these 3 sections as I finish the big ones. Two more to go of the tree skirt.
Here's what's planned for this week.
11/3/25
Finish Tall Tree sections 6 & 7 and 2nd skirt section
Continue making Benny blocks
Baste small top for quilting on domestic machine
