Where does the time go? What with caregiving my mom, and trying to fit 7 days into 5, I find myself always on the go. And at 79, yes, 79 I find myself more stressed than normal. But I've tried to keep up with quilting even if I only do 15 minutes a day. Not that I get 15 in every day, but I do average about 4 a week.
So, what have I been up to? I'll get my photos on my cell and share.
January:
Quilted this UFO flimsy I bought at a yard sale. It was 8 blocks that were anywhere from 8 3/4" to 9 1/2". Made them all 9 inches and constructed the center block. Made the flimsy in 2024 but didn't get it quilted until the first month of 2025. Gave to St. Anne's as a baby quilt measuring 36" square.
February:
My guild is having a block of the month quilt along. Here is February's blocks - hearts 12" by 10".
March:
I joined a UFO completion project ( Dive into UFOs in 2025) and this is one for March to finish - a friend's old quilt needs a little love. I had a dickens of a time finding material to match. Didn't find any but picked some 70s fabric to add to it.
Another finish - I made this from a leader-ender work with scraps. I call it The Holy Hour. My reminder of visiting the Holy Eucharist enclosed in a monstrance. The two outer rows are people in adoration and prayer.
April:
Besides a monthly UFO to work on, we have a quarterly UFO to also work on if we get done with our monthly challenge. Mine was Love Entwined which I started in 2011! Adding 1/8th inch wide stems here. Needless to say, I'm behind, but I do want to work on it.
April:
For April's monthly UFO, I'm working on a baby quilt that I'm calling Jewels. Got the idea from a photo I saw on the NET.
Caught up for now. I'm linking to Wednesday Wait Loss. Give a look.
What are you working on? Let me know and I'll come by and admire it.
Blessings,
Great save on that found UFO baby quilt! You've been steadily working on a lot of UFOs. I'm looking forward to seeing your Jewels come together. Kudos to you for caring for your mom in her home. That's great that you & your siblings are able to do that for her.
ReplyDeleteYou have made great progress since the beginning of the year, especially with your caregiving obligations. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteLots of great progress! I think the idea of sewing a little every day is a brilliant one. Prayers for your mother and for you, her caregiver! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
