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.
It was another crazy busy week. Our Board of Directors decided to open the golf course a month early. It means we had to host our Poker Party fundraiser last Sunday (a good time was had by all🤭) then strip the clubhouse of our deck tables (they are octagonal) and then move all of the tables back inside to get the set up correctly done for the opening of the restaurant. Then I spent a couple of days setting up the Pro Shop, doing inventory and ordering extra stock. On Thursday the golf carts were brought out, shelves and new signs installed, till was re-programmed. Friday was opening day and we had no staff so I got volunteered (I love my DH 😉) and I’ll be working pro bono until we get staff hired. It’s been fun seeing old friends, meeting new people and dealing with the start up glitches. Hopefully we will get staff hired before the end of the month. Keep your fingers crossed because I’m really missing my stitching time 🤭
But then today I received an email from Quilting Gail that I had won a prize in the SAHRR! It’s amazing but I did keep up for the first few rounds before real life got crazy and I am making progress on finishing my SAHRR. I’ll keep you posted when I get the details 😁
My Last To-Do Goals:
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. Some progress 😁
2. Work on my orphan block project if I can find the rest of my orphan blocks. No progress on a layout, but I did find some more of the orphan blocks. 😢
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. Some progress 😁
5. Keep playing with my UFO. No progress 😢
6. If my parcel comes, get my cutting table set up and my cutting mat serviced. Still no parcel 😢
✅7. Stop Sam and her squirrel buddies from distracting me. 🐿️🐿️. Too funny that I get a check mark for not letting Sam and her buddies tempt me with any new projects. 🤭
This Week’s goals:
Basically my list this week is a duplicate of my last one:

4. Get the sashing strips on the Butterfly Quilt.

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!
