SAHRR

Five blogging friends and I will take you on the adventure of creating your own SAHRR (Stay At Home Round Robin. ). This will be starting on January 15. You can read more about it HERE.

Stitching Stuff

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!

Usually I start the year off with a bang, but this year, I’ve only managed to sew 6 out of 7 days.

• Jan 1-7: 6 / 7 days
• 85%

Design Wall Mondays

Judy, at Small Quilts and Doll Quilts, hosts a linky party for “What’s on your Design Wall” every week.

Piecing projects:

• SAHRR ’24 (yes, I’ve started!)
• White Rabbit Blog Hop Quilt

Quilting:

• SS 24 Catalogue Quilt
• 2023 Fall Mystery Quilt” (waiting for the backing)
• Finish Quilting “Gardenia“

Finishing:

Helen Godden’s ’23 Christmas Countdown. My sister and I zoomed together as we quilted our Countdowns. I used Aurifil thread, black, red & white for the outlining and quilting. Inktense pencils were used for the colouring. Aloe vera gel made the colours stand out more. Now, I need to add binding.

Sunday Stash

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 zipper bags I made used 1 yard of fabric. You can read about them HERE.

• Fabric Used in 2023:    1 yards  from non-IB: 1
• Fabric Added this year:    0 yards 
• Net Fabric used:             1 yards
