Yup!!! Especially at this time of year …
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!

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:
- Estrella Bag: something different! A bag … The pattern is available HERE. I found some fleece lined vinyl in my stash and paired it with some quilting cotton, also from my stash. (Picture on the right).
- Island Batik September project
Quilting:
- Jam Session … but I can’t show you until the pattern is released.
- “Something Smells Fishy“
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 did finish up 2 Luminous Layer Quilts that used 7.5 yards each!
No shopping this week!
- Fabric Used in the last 2 weeks : 15 yards
- Fabric Used in 2024: 131 yards from non-IB: 53

Sewing a bag is going to be a fun project! Wow, I love your Luminous Layer quilts, it’s fun to see how the fabrics dramatically change the final look, depending on their location!
