Sunday Summary: November 10

/ quiltinggail

This is my thinking!

An Island Batik Challenge Finish!

The challenge was to make a quilt with Dresden Plates … you can read all the details 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!

  • January – October:  276 / 304 days
  • November: 10 / 10 days
  • 28 missed days since January 1
  • Total: 286 / 314 91 %

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 ’25: working on Prompt #6
  • December’s Island Batik project

Quilting:

  • Floral Fusion: not started, yet

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 bought 2.5 yards of solid red fabric to coordinate with a Christmas fabric that I have.

  • Fabric Used in the last week:  8 yards
  • Fabric Used in 2024:     192 yards  from non-IB: 80.5
  • Fabric Added in the last week: 0 yards
  • Fabric Added this year:     32 yards 
  • Net Fabric used:              160 yards

Jelly Roll Mystery Quilt

The Mystery Quilt is finished. Some are asking for directions on how to sew the quilt “on Point.” I don’t have time to write them up at the moment, but here’s a YouTube video that may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEFekuJIP5k
