Some of This; Some of That 7/26/20

Let's do the stash report first.  Used a yard adding borders to my crab quilt, making binding for the UFO I finished quilting, and making an Arrow Rock Sampler block. YTD total is now 15.6 yds. Here's the sample blockon my design wall:

Three more to go.

And here are the crabs with the added borders:

It's in the "to be quilted pile".

Was better this week about my 15 Minutes to Stitch.  Only 1 day did I not reach my goal, so that gives me a 86%  for the week.  Much better than that 57% of last week.

That's pretty much it.  I'll be linking to Sunday Stash, 15 Minutes to Stitch, and Design Wall Monday.  See you there.

Some of This; Some of That 7/19/20

As soon as I finish this post off to sandwich a baby quilt with this fabric:

It's a nice cuddly flannel from Joann's.  So 1yd comes out of my stash. My new YTD total for destashing is 14.60 yds.

 I used a 5" WOF to add the first border to my crab quilt.  Here is what I found:

 

Thanks to all for the suggestions on Facebook.  I had to settle for what I could find in the stash.

As to the 15 Minutes to Stitch, I just could not do it for three of the days last week.  I was either reading instead or sleeping.  Have no clue why it was so. So my dismal success rate is a mere 57.14% . Averaging that with last weeks, it's a bit better - 70.96%

And that's it for this week.  I am walking more - getting in two miles a day instead of one as I"ve started walking after dinner. That's 12 miles a week with Sunday off.  My weight is still the same though.

What have you been up to?  Leave me a comment and I'll come by and see.  Blessings, and please stay safe.  I'll link to Sunday Stash, 15 Minutes to Stitch, and Design Wall Monday.  See you there.

Some of This; Some of That 7/12/20

Hello, Friends and Readers.  How are things for you during these past few weeks.  We're starting to stay home more as the COVID-19 cases start to go up again.  And being home I try to keep to my 15 Minutes to Stitch challenges but some days I just don't have the energy.  So I've decided to change my reporting way just so I will DO it.  This week I did my stitching on 5 days so that's 83.33%  (my weeks are six days as Sundays I'm taking a rest) working in the sewing studio.  And that's my report - more simple than before and more likely for me to do it.

As to destashing,  I used a half yard to start binding my UFO.  Finally done quilting it!  That Crab Quilt Along I was doing has finished. Made four 6.5" blocks, so I used .612 yds this week. My YTD total is now 13.47 yds.   I decided to do a wall hanging in place of a bed quilt with a ton of little crabs.  You can go here to see what others were doing:  https://faithandfabricdesign.com/feeling-crabby-crab-quilt-quilt-along .

Here's the center of my version.  I still need to add two borders.  It will be a challenge because I want to only use what I have in the stash.

I'll see what I find - have so many places to look.

That's it for today.  Hope to sandwich a baby quilt for St. Anne's but nothing happening there as we can't meet yet.  Stay safe and wear a mask, please.

I'm linking to 15 Minutes to Stitch, Design Wall Monday - cuz that crab collection is still on my DW, and Sunday Stash Report.  See you there.
