Week 5 of 2026 from Thread Head

This week I finished knitting a sweater -

Made with handspun yarn I dyed and spun almost 10 years ago! The pattern is the Hanstholm Sweater by PetiteKnit - a basic top-down, raglan sweater. This is the first handspun sweater I have made for my husband. It was a perfect project to knit in the car when we went out west last month.

When I finished knitting it, and put it down to get a needle to weave in the ends, GingerSnap! decided it was a good place to sleep (how do cats fall asleep so fast!).

CHRISTMAS AFGHAN FINISH from Luann's Loose Threads

I’ve had this Christmas afghan in the works since 2012 as near as I can figure by looking at my crochet blog here. It’s finally finished and ready for next Christmas.

I talked about this afghan in process here. I really do like to crochet, so I don’t know why it’s taken me this long to finish it. I find that if I’m working on a holiday project and the holiday passes, I put the project away thinking that I’ll get it out before the holiday rolls around again and finish it. It took ...

Imagine My Surprise from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Imagine my surprise this afternoon when I took a break from piecing Timeless and opened Facebook, only to see a finished Timeless quilt on Stitchin' Heaven’s page. AI at its finest—there was my quilt, beautifully draped over a bed in a perfectly styled, color‑coordinated room. AND it appears to be machine quilted! Stitchin' Heaven is going to be offering the quilt as a BOM.

I'm the only one with the fabric.....well me and the mill in South Korea have the fabric. I haven't even finished writing the pattern yet!

I worked on ...

SAHRR Round #2 from The Quilting Reader's Garden

After admiring the many round#2s already posted, I came to decision on mine. Here it is:I don't know what the block is called, but I'm sure I've seen it before (and that's why I'm calling it a double take), and you can probably guess what the next round will be for me. I'm linking to Kathleen McMusing's linky party for all the other round #2s. Have a look. There are some great

January Review ~ Sew & Tell - 2/2/26 from Melva Loves Scraps

The first chapter of 2026 is complete, and we are beginning the new chapter we call February. It is the shortest chapter of the year... though, sometimes, it can feel like the longest.

I'll be reviewing all that I did during the writing of that first chapter. But first, let's take a look at the featured quilter from last week's party. You all kept me really hopping all week! There were 32 links shared! I think this was the largest party I've hosted. Thanks! I am thrilled (and honored) that so many of you are willing ...

The Last Week of Blues from Quarter-Inch Capers

Well, the last week of blues for the 2026 Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I’m sure we will get to make more blues next year. There are only so many colors to pick from, so they will continue to make an appearance every year. And the scraps continue to accumulate every year. Speaking of every year, I was cleaning out some of my stacks and found some blocks from a previous RSC. And, there are some blue ones!

I got way too excited when I found these! I didn’t do the RSC last year, so I’m thinking they were ...

Rock & Roll Quilt from Sew Preeti Quilts

In May of last year, Mary Helen reached out to me with a request for a T-Shirt Quilt. I said Yes, but it would have to wait till the end of the year.

I started the day after Thanksgiving and mailed the completed quilt the day after Christmas.

On the banks of the Potomac

The box I received contained about 18 t-shirts, most of them were never worn and in excellent condition. I cut them up - all of them.

Then came the tiresome task of stabilizing them. I used about a bolt and a half of SF-101.

February 2026 Challenges and To-Do-List from Mel's quilting blog

2026 should be a better year for completions.

I have a lot of memory projects I REALLY want to finish this year.

My 2026 List is:

1. Donna's Memory Quilts (4)

The first top is done. Does it need to be bigger, or do borders need to be added?

2. Lillian's Memory Bears (10)

I have one started.

I need to take a few days and make them in an assembly line.

The stuffing will be the challenge.

I've sewn a little, but without much focus.

3. Ashley High School Graduation Quilt

I have the shirts sorted ...

15 Minutes to Stitch Week Five from High Road Quilter

Look at me, posting on time. This week was a week off from Project Quilting challenge. The challenge for this upcoming week, is Year of the Horse, which makes me happy. I was hoping that they would do that. I made a horse quilt last year, and even though I was afraid it wouldn't turn out right, tracing a pattern does let me make a horse that looks like a horse.

In this time off, I continued to work on the recently started quilts. That is the Lupine and Laughter mystery quilt. I had one block done, but I ...

15 Minutes to Stitch Week Four from High Road Quilter

It is going to take me some practice to remember to post my progress on the 15 Minutes to Stitch challenge every week. I have been stitching every day though.

I've shown you some of the quilting from this month already on the blog:

The Project quilting challenge #1 where I made An Open Space to Breathe (I originally wrote that as A Quiet Place to Breathe, which is also a good name)
The project Quilting challenge #2 where I made Change
The bunkbed blanket I am repairing
The peacock made with leftovers from the Lupine & Laughter mystery

Slow Sunday Stitching from Eagle's Wings Quilts

I met my goal of finishing the Raccoon for the Year in the Woods last week. I actually finished it last Sunday evening. And then I immediately started on the next animal which is the Ferret. Here’s a picture of the three of them side by side. And of course, I also ordered the supplies I need for the next set of 3. They are coming from 123 Stitch in the States, so it will likely be another week or 2 before they get here. I ordinarily like to order from Canadian suppliers, but the price of $4.95 ...

January Stash Report and Goals Update from The Colorful Fabricholic

January was a busy month. I was able to accomplish most of my goals, and even a little extra. It was also a good month for my stash report. A couple of finishes helped.

The big finish this month was my teal quilt. After all the woes with the quilting, it's finally done and the quilting looks good. I'm able to count out the backing and binding in my stash report.

Another finish was the X and Plus top. I didn't expect to make this much progress!

Also (no photos yet, coming soon) I was able to ...

Shamrocks, Bookmarks and More. from Kitty and Me Designs

The February releases are now available here at Kitty And Me on Etsy.

I can't wait to stitch one of these Shamrock Biscornu Ornaments:

I've never actually made a "Biscornu". I sew everything into door knob hangers. Maybe I'll give it a try. If you need instructions on sewing one together, there are many links across the internet but you can find mine here written by Cathy Drolet:

January doings and February maybe’s from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

January was a good month to sit and sew and sew and sew. The weather was very cold. It got down to -38C (-36F) for a few days. I needed to stay bundled up and warm. A quilt over my legs and a cat on my lap kept me toasty. So, let's see what I did for the Chookshed Stitchers 2026 Challenge.

Finally got this top done! Can cross that off my list. Top size: 54-1/2” x 73”

Next on my doings is this hexie project. Got lots done as you can see. The bottom left section will ...
