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
Make more Economy blocks

The tall tree quilt is going to be gorgeous! Happy sewing this week:)
ReplyDeleteI don't remember the tree skirt section of the Tall Tree pattern--it is very pretty! I hope things go smoothly!
ReplyDeleteTall Tree looks intriguing! The novelties are so bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your Tall Tree finish. it's going to be awesome I'm sure. 2025 has flown by for me too. I'm at the same stage with grandkid gifts, as they all prefer the gift cards. Only 1 of them is still little enough to want something fun to open.
ReplyDeletegift cards are what I do too- it is easy, no stress and the recipient can get what they will be happy with
