Hello, friends and happy February! January was a busy month here, but February is about to get a lot busier. Over the weekend fabric sample yardage from our next collection arrived, and I’m beginning the new sewing today! I can’t wait for you to see the new fabric, patterns and quilts next month 🙂 Today I’m sharing the Quilting Life January 2022 Favorites along with the February $5 pattern and a few more fun things. My favorites posts include a round-up of the top-read posts along with things I worked on throughout the past month and some new favorite finds.
Quilting Life January 2022 Favorites
Most Read Posts
Here are this month’s top five most-read posts. (It’s always so much fun to see what you enjoyed the most):
- A Quilting Life Block of the Month January 2022
- Saturday Seven 217 (this one has been my most read of all time, in fact)
- Sewing Room Organization Update
- Easy Heart Quilt Patterns & Projects
- A Quilting Life Works in Progress January 2022
Made
In January I was able to accomplish my goal of finishing up my Bouquet Lap Quilt. In fact, I finished up the binding just this weekend and got a few photos. I also got back to work on my Sampler Spree quilt blocks and made a couple of small table runners in Urban Farmhouse Gatherings II fabrics. Along with sewing, I also did all of the designing for the new patterns coming next month, so I was actually on my computer more than on my sewing machine in January I’m guessing!
Things I’m Loving Now
Here are some of my favorite things from January 2022:
- I learned about the AnyList app which I’m using for my groceries and errands now.
- A new-to-me program: We began watching All Creatures Great and Small and immediately binge-watched season 1 to get caught up.
- I started my Quilting Life Patreon Community and am super excited for the opportunity to be able to share quilting and organizing patterns, tips, and more with this group.

I enjoyed your recent blog! You identified many great ways to store threads. You mentioned being able to find the aurifil boxes that are empty, but I don’t know how to find information that you say you will post. Thanks for any help!
