Happy New Year 2025, let’s make it a Year of Happy

Little Quilt Block Pattern for YOU to Make!

As 2024 wraps up, it’s hard not to reflect on a year that felt like a marathon through the medical wing of life. Quilt Pattern for you to make below too!

Husbands hospital stays and major surgeries, we have officially earned a lifetime membership to the “Strongest People” club.
January 2025 Quilt Pattern NOW at my Etsy Shop

While it wasn’t the year I imagined, but we powered through. Leaving this chapter behind feels fantastic, but mostly it’s a chance to breathe, heal, and look ahead. I took many notes of all the testing and process of Husbands 2/3 pancreas and spleen removal. I am working on putting it into book form or into handbook form, I hope to sale some and then again…it’s a bit of a surgery…and wish all going through health issues a hug of love.

So here’s to closing the door on a tough but transformative 2024. We have done the hard part, and now it’s time to embrace a new year filled with brighter days, fewer hospital visits, and a whole lot more joy. Cheers to resilience, healing, and the hopeful possibilities of what’s ahead!

Each year I try to work into my daily life a word, and this year it’s HAPPY.
Happy to laugh, happy to quilt, happy to have health and just happy to just be. Join me in Happiness. And the best happiness? A Quilt Ladies quilt block !

Blue and White Quilt Block and Lots of Fun

Classic Blue and White Fabric Used

Nothing says happiness to me as much as a Quilt Block Pattern. This is a pieced quilt block with a finished size of eight inches by eight inches.

This quilt block, a patchwork star design. It consists of alternating patterns in shades of blue and white. The center comprises small squares arranged in a checkerboard pattern, surrounded by a larger star shape. The star’s points are made from triangular pieces with detailed patterns, adding texture and depth to the design.

For some reason this quilt block looks complicated and it’s not, maybe the simple quilt pieces or the 8″ x 8″ finished size?
