✖2. Bind Grassy Creek which is at the longarmer.--it is still at the longarmer; but, I'll pick it up on Monday!
✔3. Make more 2025 Temperature quilt blocks. I've pieced up to September 9 in the body of the top and I've pieced up to September xx as house bodies.
✔4. Make a few RSC blocks
--the color for January is blue.

The Tree Collectors by Amy Stewart. Amy shares 50 short excerpts of people who collect trees. Why they do it, how they started, how they maintain their collections and their plans for their collections make her book one interesting read/listen.

I can't quite believe it is February already, either! Your house blocks are going together really nicely, Terry. I love red, too - have you used it for a background fabric? I keep thinking I'd like to try that, but haven't done it yet. Good luck quilting your temperature quilt!
I love your house temperature quilt. Such a colourful neighbourhood. Good luck with your February goals. Gail at the cozy quilter
Your temperature quilt is just stunning Terry!! Beautiful work on this...
You have a lot of projects going on, too...
My goal for February (and probably longer, too) is to use up my jelly rolls that have been languishing in my pre-cut stash forEVER!!!:((( I've made a little start with some old 30's leftover ones; making 16 patch blocks for a proposed baby quilt...no stress, no fuss--that's my goal...:)))
hugs, Julierose
Good luck with your goals, Terry. You are so patient to work on temperature every year. I applaud you. The tumbling blocks one is amazing! Also love how well your Lupine and laughter is coming along. Enjoy the retreat! ;^)
You did a great job on your January goals and you have a nice line up for February. I'm still amazed at the temperature quilt...it is stunning.
Your month was productive. Are you hand quilting the temperature quilt? If so... slow and steady will get it done! Congratulations your one finish and for having a negative in your stash report. Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
Oh there's something so fun about house block quilts!! Love it!
Hi Terry, your house temperature blocks are amazing. Loved seeing your other projects as well. I've got a Tumbling Blocks flimsie somewhere that needs quilting. I love how you keep track of things...I really need to do more of that. Happy Stitching!
