Design Wall Monday and other Stuff

On my design wall (but I don't have a photo yet) is my scrappy work in progress - the next baby quilt top. I have one column done and a few more blocks. Have to make 8 more blocks and that top will come together. Hope I can show you when I come back from the retreat.

I used a yard of this newborn print flannel to back a quilt top I had on hand.  Then I made binding for it. So 1.25 yds used. Also used .5 yd to start making my handouts for the quilt retreat in May.  So YTD total is now  32.72 yds. 

Then there is the 15 minutes in 2019:

15 minutes days/week = 6/7 days

15 minutes days/Mar = 8/9 days

15 minutes days/2019 = 66/68 days

Success rate = 97.06%

I couldn't put in my 15 on Ash Wednesday. As a Eucharist Minister, I helped distribute ashes at the earliest mass (6:30 AM). Then stayed as volunteer librarian at the parish school til 12 noon. In the afternoon walked to the bus stop to pick up Alan, then interacted with him til his mom picked him up at close to six, plus making dinner for him and hubby. I was just wiped out for the rest of the day and went to bed early.  I'm trying hard not to schedule more than one commitment per day.  It's hard to do, but that's my plan for this year.

This week is very full also - four days with DGKs and St. Annes, library and demo with a friend. She bought a Juki and wants me to share what I've learned about using it for quilting. Then Friday I'm off to a silent retreat. I'll need the quiet time by then.

I'll be linking to a few parties - you'll find them under my so named tab under the header. Have a blessed week. 

On My Design Wall and Etc.

On my design wall is my Feb BOM block - three days late but done - hey, if it had be a 31-day month, I'd have made it -hehe.

For the stash report - used about 0.03 yds of scraps for the applique and 0.04 for the background.

Used  a yard to cut more blocks for my new quilt.  Made 4 more blocks for the baby quilt top, so another 0.05 yards used for sashing.  My YTD total is now 31.47 yds.

I Like Thursdays

Another week has come around to Thursday, and it's been busy again.  My likes were mostly around home.

Here my completely finished Winter Blue - label, binding, hanging pockets. I am so happy with it.

Walking to the bus stop I liked the amaryllis a neighbor planted.

Walking up from the bus stop, I liked that Alan spotted our blue cactus.

And the next day, I liked how DGS read a Dr. Seuss book to his sister in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday.

He likes to read to her and she likes to listen. And I like to listen to these chimes at my DD's house. They are so restful. I could listen all day.

And today, I was glad that it was the first day it was warm enough I didn't have to wear my coat inside.  What did you like?  Visit Lee Anna's I Like Thursdays to see what others have posted. I'm also linking to Wendy's Peacock Party - so many pretty things there.

I'll leave you with this verse:
