My current state of life, only you can see more of the floor in this picture than in my room!

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 – November: 295 / 335 days

- 40 missed days since January 1
- Total: 323 / 363 88 %

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!
In the past 2 weeks, I posted about my Floral Fusion (9 yards) and a small table topper (2 yards).


- Fabric Used in the last 2 weeks: 11 yards
- Fabric Used in 2024: 221 yards from non-IB: 89
- Fabric Added in the last week: 0 yards
- Fabric Added this year: 32 yards
- Net Fabric used: 189 yards

Favourite Finish for December 2024

I love both of your favorite finishes, too, Gail! They are both beautiful. That meme is definitely my studio and my quilt cave! LOL I do get dressed before I head there first, though! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!

No quilting in my PJs here! I have to get dressed, have breakfast and COFFEE before I start my day. Love your two quilts, especially the floral one, beautiful. Happy New Year!

Thank you very much!!! I’d love to quilt in my PJs … but we often have my daughter’s dog that needs a morning walk and I refuse to walk her in my PJs … so I’m usually dressed before I quilt as well!! Happy New Year!

My studio looks way too much like your picture at the top. I do tend to get dressed before I hit the studio though! Have a good week.
