[@veevee111]

"Organize one basket, one shelf at a time" The most practical and manageable advice. Thank you, Christen ❤

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You are so welcome! Happy organizing! 🧺

[@missyperullo7883]

I am a fabric collector 😊 I just love fabric!!! I see it and have to have it. 😅

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

We've all been there! 😊

[@lauriel5543]

I had set the same goal. I am not buying anything else until I get through the projects I already have planned.

[@adamhelsley457]

I'm very excited about 2025! I'm currently doing the 2025 declutter challenge & have made so much progress. My #1 goal is to finish as many UFOs as possible this year. I love you Christen but it's not just women that sew & quilt. Happy New Year & Happy Sewing ❤️🧵🪡

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I am so glad that you are decluttering and making progress toward finishing your UFOs! I am cheering you on!

[@marymarley1778]

I’m using some of my favorite fabrics and making shower curtain for my guest bathroom. This way I can see them and enjoy them instead of them being hidden in my sewing room. I use large blocks or 1/8 quarters and my serger to piece them and add a top with button holes for the shower hooks. I always have a shower curtain liner behind my creation. If I have scraps leftover I add to a hand towel to hang in there too

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I love that you're finding creative ways to use your scraps!

[@GwynWhitacre]

I want to finish my Bigfoot quilt to the quilter by the end of this month. I have all of the trees made. I like your idea of one basket at a time. Makes organizing so doable in my head.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I hope it was helpful.

[@DebbieQuilts]

You are so fun to watch. I love your energy. You inspire me to get things done. Thanks!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is so very sweet of you Debbie!!!

[@Roxanne-xx9nv]

Excellent set of goals. I’m currently working on finishing memory quilts, that is my #1 priority.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I love the idea of memory quilts. They are so special!

[@KateBerggren]

Hi Christen. Once again, 7 minutes worth of inspiration. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us.. AND...To let you know. I FOUND the fabric for the binding!!!! It's the circles that I used on the outer borders. I forgot that I had enough of it to make the binding.. I was so excited.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I am so happy for you!! That's awesome. 💕

[@AprilJones-c6v]

I’ve already adopted some of these goals. Declutterred my sewing table and determined to use fabric I have to make quilts this year!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I'm so glad you're taking action!

[@deborahkeith6354]

I'm currently decluttering and organizing my fabric stash. I am going to shop my stash this year.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That sounds like a really great goal!

[@karenweiman8036]

I love all your suggestions, and I am currently involved in doing all of them. Thanks for your never-ending support!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You're on your way to a fantastic quilting year! Thank you for your support. :)

[@phapy2451]

I bought a free motion foot for my machine; it is my goal for 2025! I enjoyed this video very much.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is so exciting! Thank you for watching.

[@wandawalker4191]

I usually have the time, but I don't always manage it well 😉. I've done very well so far...quilted 5 Hospice quilt TOPS so far that I sewed last year. Yeah for me!!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

YAY!!! That is amazing.

[@marypalmerdesigns]

Excellent advice! I'm definitely making 2025 my year to use what I have.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That’s a great goal!

[@KimN1256]

Great words of wisdom, Christen!

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

I have a collection of heart fabric. After listening to you, I make it my goal to sew some heart fabric this year.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I love that!

[@CBGK-iy2qd]

YES ??? 😊

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

I got two quilt tops that were 6 and 2 year olds quilted so far this year. I just need to get a handle on my long arm to get more quilts quilted.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is wonderful! Great job.

[@Holli_Sassafras]

Here in Rosebud, TX, our little fabric shop, The Fabric Barn, have started a sewing day for a handful of us gals who work from home and/or are fairly new to town or to sewing who need that encouragement and support. My WIPs go with me. Organizing my sewing room is a huge goal for me. I get so overwhelmed!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I love that you have a sewing group!

[@Holli_Sassafras]

it’s so relaxing! You’re more than welcome to come visit!

[@patfuller5265]

Want to learn new techniques. Use the fabric I already have. Plan to do three quilts this year. Don’t ever have UFOs. I just can’t leave something unfinished. Love your videos.❤🎉

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Those are some great goals!

[@lorettazaharias9692]

Happy New Year! My goal is to use up my stash 🤠 and use scraps & leftovers to make Project LInus quilts. Thanks for the inspiring video, also need to organize my sewing area (which is my grown son's old bedroom,,,rather a hot mess at the moment) Carry on Sister 😍💃

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I love your goals! Happy New Year!

[@lorettazaharias9692]

@@ISeeStarsQuilting thx 🤩

[@HeidiFisher-lt7kk]

I always use my stash unless I really need a specific size or color! I am going to learn FMQ this year!! I finally graduated to a new, fancy embroidery combo Brother NQ3700D 2 years ago and I am trying to retire so I can just sew!! Love your videos!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is great! You can do it! You are going to love FMQ!

[@michellebusta3507]

Happy New Year, I am retired and have less time than before. I got my sewing room 3/4 organized. I am waiting on cash to get clear refrigator shelve organizers to finish getting my fabric completed.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I love how you are planning and organizing your space!

[@IRISHLASS273]

Last week we were snowed in a very unusual event in my little corner of the universe. I ruthlessly packed large fabric scraps, orphan blocks small partial quilts and sent them to a charity overseas. I could not find an organisation in my country to take them. I'm self-taught. The biggest mistake I made was thinking the experts had all the answers I regret cutting yardage into what they term useful cuts. 2025 I've decided to make simple quilts. Christen, your advice is sensible. Happy creativity for 2025.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is so sweet you shared them with others. They will love that so much. Happy sewing.

[@TheHas700]

Love your UFOs description (guilty!) and your encouraging words! ❤

[@karencrawford6099]

I finished one yesterday! Yeah for me!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Yahoo!!!

[@lorrainemaccarelli4655]

I am quilting 1 quilt, 2/3s of the way done. Then I have a twin size top that I need to quilt. Then, I think I will stick to table runners, pillows, etc. I'm 65 so I don't plan on making anymore large quilts. I did finish a king size this past year. I quilt them on a regular sewing machine & embroidery machine. Your binding tutorial definitely helped make binding much easier. Thank you

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I am so glad you're finding a good balance!

[@conniecruz3346]

Thank you so much!!!

[@DebbieQuilts]

I'm currently working on getting my fabric folded on comic book boards and organized on my new bookshelves. I NEED to see my stash so I can shop from it more often.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You can do it, and you will love that you can see what you need.

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

I have been in the hospital and rehab the last 2 weeks. I need to finish a few things

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I am so sorry. Praying this year you are fully healed.

[@lorrainebull5384]

I’m finally learning how to use a long arm thanks to a sweet lady allowing me to use her machine, so my goal this year is to finally finish some of my quilt tops. I’m aiming for 1 a month, wish me luck 🤣

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is wonderful!!! Good luck, I know you will learn it just fine.

[@TCMRevivals]

Do you have a video on appliqué?

[@cheryleaston6820]

Love your sewing machine cover. Is there a pattern? TFS

[@robinparker8310]

Hi Kristin I got my new long arm but would love to learn paper piecing, and advance my quilting. I would love to meet quilters non around me , hoping to retire then join some groups

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That sounds like a great plan, I hope you find some others to quilt with as well.

[@karenbrunette6314]

I want to learn how to applique but not raw edge I want to learn the kind there you stitch and flip so quilt can be used and wash. What's the best product to do that type of applique? Would love a video on that ty Christen

[@deebarnrs2551]

How about doing the pineapple quilt with paper piecing??
