Hello and welcome to my Sunday Summary and my To Do Tuesday post.
My Last To-Do Goals:
Real life has been really getting in the way of my stitching time, but I’m just grateful to have any time to fondle fabric and thrilled to report some progress on a project. 😁
It’s been a whirlwind of doctors appointments, home visits, assessments for DH and joy oh joy; another theft at the Golf Club. Life is definitely not boring, but only getting 3 or 4 hours of sleep at night is taking a toll on me.
Now it’s time to see how I did with my last goals:
✅ 1. Play with my SAHRR to see if I can finally get it finished. I’ve made progress and might be on my last border. I’ll know after I press and measure this quilt top. 😁
2. Pull out another UFO and see if I can make any more progress on one of them. No progress 😢
✅ 3. Keep Samantha and her squirrel buddies from distracting me and sidetracking me from my list. I’m taking a check mark since my only distractions have been in the real life department.
How are you doing with your lists. Will you manage to join the linky party this week?

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: 23 yards
- Fabric Purchased this week: 5 yards
- Fabric Previous Balance: 62 yards
- Fabric Purchased this year: 5 yards
- Balance in stash to use this year: 37 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!
