Some of This; Some of That

Each day I got in 15 minutes a day. Phew!  So thus I'm at:

15 minute days/week = 7/7 days

15 minute days/May = 27/31 days

15 minute days/June = 6/6 days

15 minute days/2020 = 142/158 days

Success rate = 89.87%

And as to destashing:  I finished two more crabs for 0.06 yd. Then I worked on one of my new quilts for 0.78 yd. for a addition of 0.84 yd used last week.  New YTD total is 12.56 yds .  50 yards seems way far right now!

Here are those two crabs - you can see a little genetic "hanky panky" happened between a orange crab and a teal crab. Such is life:

Some of This; Some of That

Worked in the sewing room all the days of last week.  Mostly, I'm quilting, so it doesn't have a lot of ops for photos.  But here is what I've been working on:

Assembled Section One of the Arrow Rock Sampler.

Made the next set of blocks  from scraps for Section 7 - we're not doing them in order.

2/3 rds done with two more crabs.

Just about to begin quilting the borders on my UFO.

So for destashing:  I used 0.49 yds for a YTD total of  11.72 yds. And as to 15 Minutes to Stitch:

15 minute days/week = 7/7 days

15 minute days/May = 29/30 days

15 minute days/2020 = 135/151

Success rate = 89.40%

Each week a little climb up in percentage. Hope that continues.

What are you up to?  Leave me a comment and I'll come take a look.  I'll be linking to Sunday Stash, Design Wall Monday, Oh! Scrap, and 15 Minutes to Stitch. Stay safe this week.

Some of This; Some of That

Let's start with the positive stuff. I was able to put in 15 Minutes to Stitch every day this week because I'm still sheltering in place.  I only go out about once every ten days usually just to use the car.  Surprisingly, most days it doesn't bother me to be home with DH doing things around the house, or reading, or quilting, or gardening, or working on a jigsaw puzzle,

Here's the one we just finished.  You know it's hard when you have to use a magnifying glass to check color changes.

or a little housework. Notice what came last.  Some days I wonder if this is what (in a very loose way) cloistered nuns feel when they dedicate themselves to a cell for days on end.  I'll have to research that. My numbers now are

15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
15 minute days/May = 15/16 days

15 minute days/2020 = 121/137 days
Success rate = 88.32%

Now for the destashing.  I made two masks for my BFF.  Here they are:

They only took 20 minutes each, and used up .39 yd.  I also made a "4 in a 4 in a 4" as shown on Em's Scrapbag.  That used up 0.53 yd.  

Then I made three  more crabs - I'm up to 4 - for another 0.17 yd. So my new total is 11.23 yds.  I may have to halve my desired total for the year to 50 yards to come anywhere near a goal.  

So what else is new? Well that scrap snapper baby quilt top is a flimsy now and off to the "to be sandwiched pile".  You can see my four crabs above it.

I'm still quilting that UFO and hand stitching my facing on my No Greater Love quilt.  I should be done with that this evening as I don't have much more to do - less than one edge. 

Take care, be safe - please continue to wear a mask and socially distance, now especially as we move slowly toward normal.  This is a ever mutating bug and it will be a while til we have a vaccine.

Blessing to you all.  I'm linking to Design Wall Monday, Faith and Fabric Quilt Along,  Sunday Stash Report, 15 Minutes to Stitch, and Oh, Scrap!.  Come on by.
