PHD in 2023: August Report

/ quiltinggail

Did you decide to join us with PHD in 2023???

Are you determined to finish a bunch of UFOs and to NOT increase the number of quilts or projects on your UFO list???

Congratulations on making that choice!!!

Slow Progress

Last month I talked about Celebrating the little things … When we celebrate the little things, the bigger goal becomes a closer goal. It is progress … and progress is good!

I must admit, when I look back at the sewing I’ve done in August, I’m feeling a bit discouraged. I had hopes to finish at least one UFO … but alas, with all that was happening around here and going on holidays, that didn’t happen. However, I need to take my own advice and celebrate the little things: the small amount of progress that I did make.

  • My Island Batik September project is moving along
  • I did a small amount of work on my Upholstery wallet (UFO #11).
  • Part of the Colour Challenge (UFO #10) is being done as a leader and ender

SEW, I’m going to celebrate this little bit of progress! These projects will be finished eventually!

Keep on Celebrating and progressing!

My Tally Sheets

This month, I finished the “Call Me” pouch, my housecoat/robe for August’s Island Batik project and the Composition Cover. You can read more about them Call Me HERE, Housecoat/robe HERE and the Composition Cover HERE.

I didn’t finish any UFOs this month.

Here’s my tally sheet:

Favourite Finish of the Month

Cheryl, from Meadow Mist Designs hosts a monthly linky party where you post your favourite quilt of the month.

I’m loving my housecoat / robe. It’ll be so nice and cozy in the cooler weather!

One who sleeps under a quilt is covered by LOVE!

Happy Quilting!

  1. Hi Gail, I hadn’t seen your Composition Cover. I love making those – they are so handy and make great gifts. Good luck with your UFOs next month! Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks. Take care.

  2. Thanks for your PHD outline! I’ve been using it for my knitting and cross-stitch projects. So far, I’m ahead of my goals in cross-stitch completions and at 75% for the knitting completions. Of course, there have been new starts so…it goes on forever!

    • LOL!!! I’m glad you’re able to use the spreadsheet to keep track of your projects! And yes, new starts are always a problem, but such fun! Good for you with tracking your cross-stitching and knitting projects! 🙂

  6. Even if you didn’t get a UFO finished, you still did really well at wrapping up some of your newer projects. That robe is just so cute and fun. Fingers crossed September is much better on the finishing UFO front.
