Getting Ready for 2025

Dec 11

Exciting Events and Projects Coming Your Way!

Last week, while I was enjoying some mindful stitching, my brain started overflowing with ideas for 2025. They came in faster than I could write them down! At first, it felt a bit overwhelming, but I grabbed my trusty planner and started organizing everything. Now, I’m ready to share some exciting upcoming events with you!

Stardust Sew-A-Long (SAL) Ready? Set. Go! Finish!!
January 2025
Kick off the new year with the Stardust Sew-A-Long! This SAL will focus on the table runner layout found in QuiltInk, featuring three classic blocks from the Stardust pattern: Sunburst, Hourglass, and Variable Star. However, you can make any Stardust layout that you want!

• Cost: Free to join (pattern purchase required).

• Sign-Up: Sign up here.

• Fabric Requirements and Cutting Instructions for table runner: Will be sent in late December.

We’ll meet weekly on Saturdays at 11 a.m. EST via Zoom, where I’ll guide you through each block and answer your questions. These sessions will be about an hour long and recorded for those who can’t join live.

Sew with Moe
Starting February 2025

I’m thrilled to bring back Sew with Moe, a free monthly Zoom gathering for anyone who loves to sew (or just hang out). Each month will feature an optional project, challenge, or prompt, such as:

• Finishing a WIP.

• Stash-busting challenges.

• Learning a new technique.

No pressure to follow the prompts—just bring your project and enjoy the company!

Dates/Times: To be decided. I’ll post a poll on Instagram and Facebook in January. If you’re not on social media, feel free to email me with your preferred days and times.

What Else is Coming in 2025?

I’ve got BIG plans:

• FIVE new classes/workshops.

• THREE new patterns.

It’s going to be an exciting year, and I can’t wait to share all of this with you. Time to get stitching!

Stay tuned for updates, and as always, feel free to reach out if you have questions or suggestions.

Happy quilting!
