Sunday Summary #155

Another fun, crazy busy week with meetings and prep for a fundraiser at the Golf Club. It snowed but I had volunteers to fix that issue. The good news I didn’t have to shovel any snow! 😉

The bonfire was lit, the skis, snowboards, snowshoes and sleds arrived, the the ski trail was set, the soup, chili, baked goods and hot chocolate was ready and we had so much fun listening to the laughter and seeing the smiles! We even raised some money for the Golf Club. 😁

I managed some sewing time in between other activities.

My Last To-Do Goals:

1. Keep working on my EPP, embroidery and leader/ender projects. No real progress but I am enjoying the hand stitching. 😢

2. Get caught up with the Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL hosted by Sandra Walker from MMM Quilts. I’d love to get this one done. My fabrics, pattern and blocks are back out 😢

3. Allow myself to keep playing on a couple of projects from the boxes of treasures I received from Denise as my leader/ender projects. I have been making progress.😁

4. Keep working on my project for an upcoming blog hop;

5. Finalize my choice of a Center Block for one of my favourite events of the year: I think I’m going to use my Gnomes that I started last year as an RSC project, but I’m not sure which colour I’m going to use! 🤔

6. Work on/finish my pattern test. It’s coming along! 😁

7. Do not let Samantha or any of her squirrel buddies side track me🐿🐿🐿🐿 Samantha got me again 😂

• January 14/31
• this week 5/7
• Previous Total 14/365
• Total: 19/21
• Percentage = 90.5 %

I hope you all get to set and keep your goals for your Stitchng Time and join Kate. 😁

Stash Report

I like to link with Donna @ QuiltPaintCreate to keep track of fabric in and out of my stash.

• Fabric Used: 2 yard
• Fabric Purchased this week: 0 yards
• Fabric Previous Balance: 0 yards
• Fabric Purchased this year: 0 yards
• Balance in stash to use this year: 97 yards

* my goal is to lessen my stash by 100 yards this year. I haven’t managed to actually figure out how much fabric I really have in my stash, but I have reduced my stash these past few years and really only purchase fabric if I need it for a particular project. If I do purchase fabric I add it to my Balance in stash to use this year in order to continue reducing my stash. 😉

* any fabric used from the scrap bins, was gifted or a prize; doesn’t count as stash!

PHD in 2023

Quilting Gail was hosting PHD in 2023 Challenge but I heard a rumour from a very reliable source that someone else will be doing it this year. 😉

Thank you for stopping by and reading my post. Your comments make my day and I do reply to each one. 😉 Carol
