2025 Brandon Quilters UFOs
Last year I turned in a small UFO list — I think there were 4 items on it since I knew I was planning on 5 different versions of the Brandon Quilters Block of the Month. With the remodeling taking place and my trip to Scotland for the most part quilting did not happen until the 2nd half of the year and it was all what HAD to be done instead of what struck my fancy. Do not get me wrong, I wanted to make those 5 quilts. It was my decision, it’s just that I was frustrated that there was no time to do any thing else.
This year I want to avoid cramming all the quilting the last 6 months of the year. There is remodeling this year – my kitchen! A trip this summer – The Kansas City Quilt Festival, speaking at Candlelight Quilters in Raytown, Missouri, the Iowa State Quilt Museum and the Minnesota State Quilt Show. Plus I’m still President of the Brandon Quilters and Secretary of Quilters By Hearts Desire and a member of the Mississippi Quilt Association, Gulf States Quilt Association. I’m ballroom dancing 3 – 4 times a month, play Bunco once a month and still working full time.
My goal this year is to finish projects which were started in the past, start & finish some new quilts/quilted items I’ve identified, make a few non-quilted items, pick a few projects from my kits, small projects and panels and still allow for the unknown — maybe something from my travels. For now, here is my 2025 Brandon Quilters UFO list. I’ve already finished one item!

12 UFOs in different stages is good. You will not be slacking this year. I have 5 on my list for the Cobbled Court challenge. My Girlfriends Quilt Shop Challenge includes those. Working on them is double credit, lol.Happy 2025. I’ll be our Walla Walla Valley Quilt Guild President next year. This is my year to stitch more and Quilt more.
