Hello, friends! It’s that time of year when quilters and sewists are in full gift-making mode. I made a lot of small projects this year and thought it would be helpful to share my yearly round-up of these projects now while you might have time to stitch some of them up for this year’s giving. My 2024 Favorite Small Projects are divided by categories, so you can easily navigate this post. Additionally, I do have a few more small projects I’ll be finishing up in the next couple of weeks or so–stay tuned for those on the blog!

Mini Quilts
I do love a good mini quilt. This year I added three new ones to my collection. The Star Bright Mini (above left) was actually pieced by my friend Nancy Lane using leftovers from the Star Bright 2 quilt she pieced for me with Raspberry Summer fabrics. And I made the Berry Picking mini and the Berry Baskets mini with the same collections.
