The year has almost come to an end and it is time to look back and see what I accomplished in the last 12 months.
January
At the very end of this month I finished knitting a hat for my Hubby.
I also assembled a pillow from the small whole cloth that I had quilted in 2024.
February
This month I finished a hat for no one in particular. It used up some yarn that I really didn't like to work with at all.
March
Royal Squares finally became a flimsy. It still needs to be quilted.
April
My newest granddaughter’s birth announcement was finished this month. It is so adorable!
May
May saw Windows Into My World, now called Having a Ball, become a flimsy. It is still in the process of being hand quilted.
July
I finished two Christmas ornaments this month. The first was for my younger granddaughter.
The second was for my older granddaughter.
August
One more Christmas ornament was finished in August. This one for my grandson.
October
The Harvesttime pillow with the scarecrow of this trio was completed quickly at the beginning of the month.
Another hat for donation was also completed. I like the hat, but the pompom needs some help.
November
This month saw three finishes. First I made a quick pillow out of a small printed panel.
Second I finished a polar bear hat for my older granddaughter.
I also finished the scrappy baby blanket that will eventually be donated.
I finished a hat that was supposed to be for donation, but ended up in my wardrobe.
Then, of course I had to make another hat for donation.
Hubby requested a hat.
So did my mother in law.
Two Prairie Schooler Santas were made into small pillows. One has braiding around the edge, the other is still waiting to get its braid.
All in all there were 20 needlework items finished this year with 3 of them still needing final finishing touches...quilting or adding the braid to the pillow.
I will be joining Frederique at the Quilting Patch on Saturday and Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. I hope you take some time to relax with some tea, coffee or hot chocolate and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2026!
Thanks for stopping by!
Lots accomplished this year and lots of projects to continue working on in 2026. I am in the same boat!

Wow, Cathie, this is a wonderful year! You achieved a lot, and I love your knitted hats and and how many you have made ;))
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing and linking up every week with P&Q! Hugs
That was a special year in review! That stocking is so beautiful!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLots of great projects in several different medias!
ReplyDeleteYou had a wonderfully productive year. I like your new hats. Did you use worsted weight yarn for these? Wool or acrylic? I ask because I make hats for a local charity. Your pattern looks "beefier" if a hat can be described that way. And, I too, find pompoms a trial. "Having a ball" is amazing. You've been busy this year. Congrats on all the wonderful things you've made.
ReplyDeleteWonderful ,you have been a busy bee ,
ReplyDeleteLove the hats , and all the ornaments .
Have a wonderful New Year , hugs June.
