This project came to me as twenty pieced squares, and they were the perfect fit for my goal of finishing projects this year. A sweet lady was moving and getting rid of all her crafting supplies and materials. She took them to the dump (including these squares), but the guy working at the dump knew that my mom and I would use them. Over the last few months, bags and boxes of supplies have shown up on my mom’s porch. As a thank you to her for gifting us so many supplies, I finished the quilt she started and it’s heading to her new home today. 💙

My goal for 2025 was to complete projects that had been started, regardless of who they had been started by. I found a quilt kit started by my late grandmother and a feed sack top pieced by my late great grandmother. I got the privilege of finishing those quilts and giving them to my family. So this Mothers’ Day, my mom and aunt got a quilt from their mother and my grandfather got a quilt from his mother. 🌷

First commissioned amigurumi complete! This bananasaurus was so much fun to make and so easy thanks to the pattern by .
