The Best of 2025.

 

It's that time of year for looking back and enjoying the best parts of the year. Cheryl from Meadow Mist designs is once again hosting the link up. Thank you Cheryl.

A post that got a huge number of view was about trains and blankets. The train was originally made by my father for my son when he was about 3. Richard repainted the train and also made the truck for his nephew.

The blanket is the first crochete project that younger daughter has undertaken. It was made for her brother and he is very pleased with it.

I got a lot of comments on the post about my uncle and aunt's 60th wedding anniversary.  The party was lots of fun with family and friends. 

I love taking photos of the quilts at the quilt or sewing shows I go to and being able to share them with everyone. Below is one of my favourites from the show at Midsomer Quilting earlier this month, by Trease Lane.

I enjoy posting photos from our visits around England. Many of the comments I receive are reminiscences of a visit the person has of visiting the place the post is about or they hope that one day they will get to visit. I love visiting the many stately homes we have in the UK or the ancient castles. The UK has a massive amount of history going all the way back to the stone  age. The photos are of Montacute House in Somerset.

Finally a choice from my family. It's only fair I let them have a choice as they do live with me and all my projects. Their favourite quilt I've finished from this year is the dinosaur quilt. This is a large quilt and nice and bright, design by Elizabeth Hartman. I had fun making it but it was hard work because of the block size and overall size of the quilt.

This last photo was taken before I quilted it. I couldn't find the picture of the completed quilt even though it is on a post early this year. This is such a happy colourful quilt.

I hope you enjoyed the best of 2025. Currently I trying to make some plans for 2026. I have projects to finish and a list of projects I want to make. I think I may need a few more hours in a day.

Take care
