January has been crazy busy for me this year, unlike any other January I have had for Needles and Strands to date. Two prototype quilted hoodies finished, finished 4 quilts, hemmed a pair of jeans, repaired 3 pairs of pants and completed a shirt alteration. Whew, I need a nap! I will post the quilts after they have been gifted.

This beautiful quilt set is looking for a good home. The twin size quilt is not yet completed, leaving room for customization of a label, initials, or something else personal to the recipient. The doll size quilt is a finished product, and matches the large quilt perfectly. $450 for the set, can be ready to ship or pickup by mid Feburary. Let me know what you think of this soft color combo!

Its the time of year to reflect back on everything my tiny business has done in 2025. First I want to say thank you to my family for your unwavering support of all that I do. My clients, friends, craft show buddies, so many of you that have made purchases, recommended me, challenged me to keep sewing, thanks! Business has grown exponentially for me this year, and I couldn't be happier or more exhausted, lol, but keep it coming. Here are a few photos of things I made this year.

Some random stats, I sold over 100 scrunchies and over 100 wallets this year, did 14 shows over 2 states, and had countless custom orders and clothing alterations and repairs.
THANK YOU ALL, and cheers to 2026!

Finished up another tshirt quilt this week. This gentleman wanted a quilt but made exclusively as a wall hanging. I made it as small as I could while respecting the graphics, and sewed a pocket on the back so he can hang a curtain rod on the wall and just slide it on to hang it, and remove to wash as needed. Saved another bag of shirts in a closet waiting for that some day to happen.

The two quilts i finished in this last week. Happy to say ALL the fabrics used were exclusively from my fabric stash!
I have 4 more quilts waiting to be started, some memory bears about half finished, and giant plans for new product lines to get started on after that. What a way to spend wintertime.
