Some of This; Some of That 8/30/20

 Not much growth on the destashing this week.  Just finished up some blocks for my two WIPs I started not long ago.  I only used 0.17 yd of scraps to complete two blocks for the Arrow Block sampler and prep the next hexagon for the Hexie Love Studio Quilt Along. That gives me a YTD total of 33.80 yards.

Here are the blocks for the Arrow Rock Sampler on my Design Floor:

From Part one
From Part Two

and then the HLSQAL

Have got three assembled and have four to sew on to complete the next unit. That will be my hand stitching for this evening. And here is how it looks so far with last week's work added to the right of center:


Ugh, why can't I get a focused photo?  The new ring will go on the left.  I'm not as far behind as I was last week.  I'm Seriously behind on the Arrow Rock Sampler!

Some of This; Some of That - 8/23/20

 Well, I finished my UFO!  After 10 years, it is now done.  used 0.31 yds to bind it.  This is a wall hanging from the Fons & Porter's Stars and Stripes Sampler book printed in 2001.  Judy Laquidara started a quilt along in 2012 which I joined.  All the fabric is from my stash and it took out 2.92 yds. Measures 44 x 50 inches.

Also that new quilt I hinted at is now finished (can't show it yet) and quilted.  Need to bind it.  Now that those two are out of the way, I'll be able to move right along with my two new projects I started earlier this year.  For the Arrow Rock Sampler, I am seriously behind, but I should be able to remedy that this coming week.  These are part of Month Two and we are on Month Four as of the 20th.

I'm a not as far behind on the Curved Hexie Quilt Along.  That is weekly.  I was able to get week 3 at least ready for hand stitching starting today.  That's what I'll do this evening.  Took me forever to pick fabrics for it from my stash.  Between these two projects I used up 0.14 yd.  This gives me a YTD total of 33.63 yards!



Lastly, I did at least 15 minutes everyday this week, so my score this week is 100% - first time this year!

Some of This; Some of That 8/9/2020

First my stash report:  Made two blocks for my Arrow rock sampler - used 0.10 yd. Finished a special quilt (front and back)  I can't show yet - 11.85 yds. Worked on my Hexie Love challenge - another 0.10 yd for a total this week of 12.05 yds.  My YTD total is now 27.65 yards!

This week I worked 6 days out of 7 - one day flat on my back from a kidney stone attack - that's what I call them - giving me a 85.7% effort at my 15 minutes to Stitch challenge.

Here's my design wall:

All Comes to A Halt

 Sighhhh....  While I was quilting I  ran my finger, somehow, under the needle. Went right through my left index fingernail right through to...
