My triathlons last ALL week!!! LOL!!!

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!

• Jan – May:  143 / 152 days
• June: 9 / 9
• Total: 152/ 161 94%

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:

• Just a leaders & enders … nothing major, at the moment!
• Jam Session … if I get the pieces cut out!

Quilting: to do… the list is getting shorter!

• Quilting “Gardenia“
• Lone Star Left-overs (you can see details of the Lone Star HERE). I need to figure out the backing and then quilt it.
• Luminous Layers #1 & #2 a quilt-a-long from MMM quilts (see HERE for details and links to instructions)

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 finished my June Island Batik project!!! You can read about it HERE. This quilt used 11.5 yards of fabric!
