Hello and welcome to my Sunday Summary where I share snippets of my life, set my stitching goals, and you get to see any progress I’ve made on my last To Do list.
My Last To-Do Goals:
This week had things going sideways with 9 emergency Board meeting to deal with a crisis at the golf club, getting wifi installed at our Guild, preparing for a fundraiser on Sunday.
I left there and woke up the next morning with the nasty bug that’s going around; bronchitis and the worst vertigo I’ve ever experienced. I’m finally feeling well enough to get our party started and report my terrible lack of progress.
Now it’s time to see how I did with my goals for the week:
So now it’s time to see what goals I have on my list this week:
1. Finish my SAHRR. A bit of progress 🥹
2. Work on my orphan block project if I can find the rest of my orphan blocks. I did find more and managed to play with a layout, but I’m sure there still are a few more orphan blocks to be discovered in my stash. 🤭
3. Try to get my seaside quilt for Nova Scotia together to a flimsy. No progress 😢
4. Get the sashing strips on the Butterfly Quilt. No progress 😢
5. Keep playing with my UFO. Some progress, but no photos. 😁
6. If my parcel comes, get my cutting table set up and my cutting mat serviced. No parcel delivered yet. 🥹
✅ 7. Stop Sam and her squirrel buddies from distracting me. 🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️. Success. Real life was too crazy to allow for any distractions in my sewing corner. 😁
This Week’s goals:
Basicly my list this week is a duplicate of my last one:
1. Finish my SAHRR.
2. Work on my orphan block project if I can find the rest of my orphan blocks.
3. Try to get my seaside quilt for Nova Scotia together to a flimsy.
4. Get the sashing strips on the Butterfly Quilt.
5. Keep playing with my UFO.
6. If my parcel comes, get my cutting table set up and my cutting mat serviced.
7. Stop Sam and her squirrel buddies from distracting me.
Stitchin’ Time

- this week 2/7
- previous total: 77/80

Stash Report
I like to link with Donna @ QuiltPaintCreate to keep track of fabric in and out of my stash. Last year I didn’t manage to use as much stash fabric as I planned since I don’t get to go to the studio and play on the long arm, but I’ve been working on finishing quilts on my dsm. 🤩
- Fabric Used: 0 yards
- Fabric Purchased this week: 0 yards
- Fabric Previous Balance: 62 yards
- Fabric Purchased this year: 0 yards
- Balance in stash to use this year: 55 yards
* my goal is to lessen my stash by 100 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!
