Sunday Summary #160

It was another weird and wonderful week here in my part of the world:

It is now 2 years since we lost our sweet girl, Clarke, and I’m now adding another project to my To Do List. More on that later in my post.

I had 4 meetings for the Golf Club and had to empty the kitchen for the remodel/renovations.

I was at my Guild for a day taking a class. My DH calls it my happy place and I confess it’s nice to be busy learning a new craft while being completely cut off from phone and internet for a few hours. 😉

My Last To-Do Goals:

1. Keep working on my EPP, embroidery and embroidery sampler as time allows. No progress 😢

2. Get caught up with the Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL hosted by Sandra Walker from MMM Quilts No Progress😢

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. Some progress. 😢

4. Get caught up with the rounds for the SAHRR.. No progress. I have realized that I’m just not going to be able to do the SAHRR this year so I will remove it from my list. 😢

5. Work on/finish my pattern test. No progress 😢

6. Work on my newest squirrel project using bits from Denise’s boxes and even a few orphan blocks. Progress. 😢

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

This Week’s goals:

I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to take some pressure off myself with all that’s going on right now in real life, so I’m modifying my list this week and keeping my expectations reasonable.

1. Keep working on my EPP, embroidery and embroidery sampler as time allows.

2. Get caught up with the Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL hosted by Sandra Walker from MMM Quilts.

3. Keep working on some weaving projects for prizes for an upcoming Golf Tournament. It’s the perfect way to use up all of the wool I have collected when I was knitting socks, shawls and sweaters for the grands and great grands. My hands just can’t handle the needles anymore. 😉

4. Try to finish my pattern test.

6. Start on a memory quilt with some of Clarke’s clothing for her family:

7. Work on two more memory quilts for my granddaughters from a collection of T-shirts from my son, DIL and granddaughters.

8. Do not let Samantha or any of her squirrel buddies side track me🐿🐿🐿🐿

Stitchin’ Time

Kate from Life in Pieces hosts a weekly linky party to help us keep to our goals of stitching every day.

I’m trying for at least 30 minutes a day this year and 1 hour at the end of the week to tidy up and deal with my scraps. I’m not really off to a good start, but it should get better as things settle down in my real life time and commitments lessen. 🤔

• January 21/31
• February 27/29
• March 2/2
• this week 7/7
• Previous Total 43/365
• Total: 50/62
• Percentage = 80.64 %

I hope you all get to set and keep your goals for your Stitching 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: 0 yards
• Fabric Purchased this week: 0 yards
• Fabric Previous Balance: 85 yards
• Fabric Purchased this year: 0 yards
• Balance in stash to use this year: 85 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

This year you can join the fun and challenge at Ms P Designs USA 😉

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