The best part of 2024 was my son becoming a US Marine and getting back to quilting helped me survive the time he was at boot camp. It was a long 13 weeks
2024 has been a year of so much growth, not just on my quilting journey but also my spiritual journey. God is always covering my and my family with his grace and love. My husband lost his job of 26 in early May, it took six months before he found one so my spending was very minimal. Still I had enough stash to make some quilts. This made me slow down and take my time sewing, which turned out to be a learning curve because I saw my quilts coming out more precisely. I also took the time to do my free motion quilting in my small sewing machine and learned even more.
Pat thank you so much for your video and your Facebook group, they are a great encouragement for me.
Have a wonderful and blessed New Year.
2024 was a good year. I so enjoyed making the Ode to National Parks quilt. I would love to win this flower shop kit. Thank you Pat for all you do for the quilting community. Happy New year!
Wow! 2024… what a whirlwind. My accomplishment for this year was adding to the charity sewing I’ve been doing. in addition to making animal beds from my scraps, I made a large batch of pillowcase for our local children’s shelter, and donated two quilts for live auction fundraisers.
Happy New Year, I would absolutely love to make this quilt, the colors are so beautiful!
My best thing about this year was spending more time with my son’s family. My daughter lives 45 minutes away so I see her family once or twice a week, but my son lives an hour and a half away. I was happy to actually exceed my quilting goals and only have to UFOs to finish and lots of plans.
This year has had some struggles but we are all still here and all came home for Christmas .
Always enjoy your videos, so uplifting. Happy New Year 🥳
We have been blessed to have both our children live locally for the first time in 25 years. Our hearts are full.
My favorite thing about 2024 was 3 of my cousins got married, all in different states, so we got three mini vacations and got to celebrate with everyone.
One of the best things for 2024 is that I was able to go to two quilt retreats with my quilty friends. We had so much fun we are doing it again in 2025.
The best thing about 2024 : Our daughters surprised us with a shitzhu puppy for our 50th wedding anniversary. Louie gives Us so much joy and laughs! plus he loves to nap on my quilts!
The best thing for me in 2024 was spending time with my family, who are scattered across the country.
I love the dainty meadow fabric line. It is so sweet. Thanks for your quilting enthusiasm. You inspire me!
Finished several quilts for Project Linus and even 5 quilts on my endless ufo list!
The Flower Shop quilt is a beautiful spring quilt. I love My sew Quilty Life fabric lines. I am hoping 2025 has more happiness than sadness. I would enjoy being able to quilt more and catch up on projects. Happy New Year! I am wishing you and Greg much happiness in 2025 and the years to come.
2024 hasn’t been a good year for me but to look at that cloud’s silver lining and finding out that I will be getting another great grandchild to enjoy and having all the time I want to sew for them will be 😁 fun.
I absolutely loved spending time with my grandkids 1 and 3 They brightened my day and life!
Besides having family close enough to see often throughout the year, I was able to purchase a new sewing machine. It’s more than I ever expected I’d own in my lifetime, and as I prepare to retire next year, I know it will be part of many new and exciting projects. Happy New Year Pat!
The best thing about 2024 – hummm – well, it’s over & I’m still here – just had a doctor’s appt. & I’m good to go for another. So happy New Years, Pat A Sloan & all!
The best thing about 2024 was spending time with family. I helped a granddaughter move into her first apartment, another granddaughter was awesome in her barrel racing. Love spending time with my family!
Well, here in Winnipeg Canada it is snowing and -7C ( warm for us in late December) and it would be wonderful to win and be able to work on such a springtime looking quilt.
One of the best things for 2024 was spending Christmas with both of my girls and family. Also finishing a quilt top for some sampler blocks that were created 20+ years ago, definitely a challenge.
Hello, Happy New Year’s Eve. I would love to win the beautiful giveaway.
With two months of testing, I’m cancer free. That took a lot of weight off my shoulders and on to what I love…… making quilts
What a show of beautiful quilts this year. 2024 is a year of changes in new sewing machine and loss of elders that changes too. 2025 has some quilt plans and travel plans. Hope everyone plans includes peace and happiness.
The wonderful thing that happened in 2024 was the birth of my new Great Granddaughter Maeva! She is so beautiful.
I love this pattern. Agree with you about the added text prints.
In 2024 I met a wonderful group of quilters and I sewed with them throughout the whole year. I met a long arm quilter who helped me get many of my tops quilted this year. Thank you for the chance to win this most adorable quilt kit! Thank you for your videos Pat! ♥️
The highlight for 2024 has been watching my granddaughter navigating her senior year in high school and college appl7cations. Watching her Receiving acceptance letters and invitations to honors programs proves her dedication to becoming a therapist for young children and teens. Here’s to a wonderful 2025 for all.
2024 was a years of a few struggles and many quilt tops, now on a mission to quilt some of the many flimsy. Happy New Year.
2024 was a great quilty year for me, thank you Pat for sharing your quilt life with us alll. Looking forward to what 2025 has in store for us.
My Hubby Built me a quilting studio for 2024. I named it “Storm at Sea Haberdashery”. I guess that he got sick and tired of finding fabric and batting stored in all of the corners in our house Happy 2025 Pat. Thank you for your inspiration and hard work
Happy in 2024 to have found a traveling friend and to be back on the road after my husband passed away in 2022. He and I loved traveling. In 2024 my friend and I traveled to Amsterdam for tulip time. It was wonderful.
The best thing about 2024 was the time I spent quilting, making new projects, my goal is to finish these projects. Nothing exciting happened, no babies being born , but did have a wedding in the family.
2024 has been a rollercoaster health year for me of highs and lows.
I am blessed by the ‘high peak’ of tasting freedom & opportunity by getting my first electric wheelchair. I’m already looking forward to attending the quilt show in London with my local quilting group.
I have coffee & and your videos to make my day!
Many things throughout the year to be thankful for – the improved health of several family members, who were struggling is one of the most important things. Good friends who support me and are always there is something else that means the world to me. Being able to enjoy and take part in things I enjoy is always an added blessing.
I’ve just recently discovered you from a new quilting friend and I am enjoying all your videos! I started quilting this year and I’m hooked!! 😆
I’d love to win that pretty kit💕
I have been watching your channel since I retired 5 years ago. I am working on 2 quilts at the moment, one for our grandson and one for our bed. Thanks for all you do. The give away quilt kit is adorable. Thanks. Jo
The year 2024 had many emotional changes for me. I will pick the fact we bought a mobile home in southern Texas and have now become Winter Texans. We have meet so many new people who have now become our friends.
Memorable item to mention for 2024 is making quilts for my relatives’ papa who passed away earlier this year. I quilted four photo shirt quilts plus one special papa quilt for my granddaughter. With extra shirts not included with main quilts, I made shirt pillows complete with special pockets to hold memorable items.
Here I am again. Love house quilts and those colors! 2024 was a quiet year. I am at the end of my life, so I quilt, cross stitch, go to Dr. Appts. I expect to have a quiet 2025, too. Most exciting thing I did was get a newer car so I have less problems. Looking forward to your block Wednesday. Hang in there Pat. Happy New Year!
2024 was a good year because I got to spend some fun times with my friends going camping and on sewing retreats. 🙂
The best thing about 2024 was that everyone in our extended family had good health, including a cousin who celebrated his 100th birthday.
Best thing had to be our first GRANDBABY! and Abigail loves watching Mrs. Pat & other sewing videos with me. She’s almost 1 and gets real excited when I take her in my ‘room of color! ‘ ❤️
Gorgeous Flower Shop Quilt…enter me! Thx Pat Sloan for all you do for me and the quilting world.!!
Happy New Year to you and family!
The most wonderful thing for me was a hug from my 50 year old son! He stopped hugging at 10 years old so to get a Christmas hug was a big deal and I loved it. Of course he had to shudder when it was over then laugh at me laughing at him!
My best memory from 2024 was finishing my Piece and Quilt Sampler. I loved gathering all my hoarded Bonnie and Camille fabrics and just Camille fabrics and putting them together. I managed to keep up, and even finish ahead of schedule, despite having a knee replacement which took me out of commission for six weeks.
I had a good year in 2024 but not so much quilting. I had hand surgery in June and was not able to sew for a couple of months. This next year will be better. Thanks for the encouraging videos.
Something really, really wonderful for me in 2024 is…I received a new (to me) longarm! I’ve named her Lola and we meet several times a week to learn, create and generally have fun.
This year I entered 3 quilting challenges, didn’t win, but 2 displaye my entries. I finished 7 quilts as gifts. I’m looking forwar to be more productive in 2025.
