Stitching Time
Kate, from Life in Pieces, is hosting “Stitching Stuff” and the goal is to sew for at least 15 minutes a day. I use Kate’s guideline, but my personal goal is to sew for 30 minutes a day. On those “blah” days, it does motivate me to sit at my machine and 30 minutes often turns into several hours. Thank you Kate for the motivation!
I’ve missed 2 days of sewing in the past 2 weeks … that’s what happens when you spend full days helping someone move!
- January – April: 117 / 120
- May 1 – 29: 17 / 29
- Total: 134 / 159
- Percentage = 84%
Stash Report
Donna at Quilt Paint Create hosts a weekly linky party where you can display your stash numbers. This has really kept my stash from growing (somewhat!) Before I buy anything, I am always mindful of the fact that I need to report it on my blog … That sometimes stops me in my tracks!
The apron used 1.25 yards and the 2 small quilts used a yard each for backing … for a total of 3.25 yards used since my last report. No shopping, so nothing added!
- Fabric Used since the last report 3.25 yards
- Fabric Used this year: 43 yards
- Fabric Bought this week: 0 yards
- Fabric Added this year: 6.25 yards
- Net Fabric used 36.75 yards

Thanks for the motivation Gail! I also use the 15 minute a day goal, knowing it will go beyond that 😊 I don’t sew everyday, but having this goal has helped in decreasing my stash ….. slightly 😂
