If this is TRUE ??? I am immortal!!! but also broke!!! 😅

The hosts have shown their centre blocks and other’s have joined in on the fun. See This Post for all the details! Here’s centre and Round #4! Visit Brenda @ Songbird Designs. to see lots of other Round #4s.

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!

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!

I showed the retreat bag that I finished this past week HERE (1.25 yards). Plus, I finished 2 log cabin quilts for the Island Batik Log Cabin Blog Hop; Spiral (7 yards), Pinwheel (8.75 yards)

  • Fabric Used this week:  17 yards

    • My plan was to have it done before we even started in January. That obviously didn’t happen!! But at least I’ve been working enough ahead that I’m not finishing each week within hours of needing to post about it! LOL!!!
