Sunday Summary #214

Another busy week with meetings, hosting a golf tournament and 3 medical appointments for DH, but I had two wonderful days at my Guild to just play with fabric and enjoy time spent with like minded people.

My Last To-Do Goals:

1. Keep making some bags for the Christmas Hamper/Dinner event in December from everything I have kitted up. No progress😢

2. Keep hand stitching in the evening doing my EPP and the needlepoint kit. Made some progress 😁

3. Try to get this project to the flimsy stage. Good progress on this one 😁

4. Finish making my quilt top from my crumb blocks and leftover panel blocks since I have kitted it up to go to the Guild with me. Some progress 😁

5. Keep working to empty my project bins. No progress 😢

6. Keep making some progress on the memory quilts from all of my family’s t-shirts or clothing. No progress 😢

7. Keep stabilizing the quilt tops for Liz’s project. A bit more done on one of the quilt tops 😁

8. Keep Samantha and her buddies from distracting me or coercing me to start anything new until I get my list whittled down.  🐿️🐿️ ✅ I managed to avoid all the temptations. 😁

Stitchin’ Time

Kate from Life in Pieces hosts a weekly linky party to help us keep to our goals of stitching every day. I just love her new logo!

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 happy to see my percentage going up and 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. If I can plan trips to the studio I expect my stash to be reduced terrifically when I start making backings for all of the quilt tops I’ve got to do. 🤩

• Fabric Used: 0 yards
• Fabric Purchased this week: 0 yards
• Fabric Previous Balance: 15 yards
• Fabric Purchased this year: 9 yards
• Balance in stash to use this year: 184 yards

* my goal is to lessen my stash by 200 yards this year but realistically I’ll be happy with whatever I manage. 😉

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

My UFO and WIP List

Last but not least I have to update my UFO Speadsheet and then try keeping it up to date and so help with my accountability now that I have gone through everything in my storage room and sewing space. I’ve pulled my lists of projects in my bins and have started to update my list.
