NTT- Back in the Groove

Hey there, friends!  I'm sure you all remember that last fall before the holidays, I sewed through my entire stash.  It's a good thing I love scraps, because even though I always use up as much as I can on the back of each quilt, sewing through so much stash creates a LOT of scraps.  For the past week, I've been pressing and sorting them, and I'm all ready to turn these scraps into something fun!


This may not look like a lot of scraps, but what you can't tell from the photo is that this stack of bits and strings is probably 3-4 inches deep.  After finishing TWO Twelve Days of Christmas quilts, my brain needs a mindless sewing activity while I continue to work on that pattern, and something easy and scrappy is just the thing.

If you've been around here awhile, you know I like to completely empty my scrap jars every so often.  The last time I cleaned them out was in September 2022 with my Rainbow Galaxy quilt.  It surely doesn't seem like 2.5 years ago!  The plan for this quilt is totally different, and I can't wait to see it come together.

Without further ado, let's kick of the first Needle and Thread Thursday of 2025 by checking out a few highlights from the last party in 2024-

Jan at The Colorful Fabriholic linked up this gorgeous finish-


Look at these two lovelies from Nancy at Grace and Peace Quilting-


Maggie at Making a Lather linked up this sweet quilt-


And finally, I love this one from Melva Loves Scraps-


Alright, y'all!  Let's start off 2025 with lots of amazing, inspirational eye-candy.  I know we haven't partied in awhile, so remember, you can link up as many projects as you want.  Just be sure to link each individual post so we can see ALL of it!

1You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!
2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop"  when selecting your thumbnail photo.  For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work!  :)
