Testing the new blogger.

Hmmm.  Now that Gretchen told me where to find the new post button, I'm trying it with this test post.

As I was searching for neutrals of the beige kind, I found this square.  I'd like to make a medallion quilt out of it.  It is 12 1/2" square.  Suggests for the next round, please??

Some of This; Some of That - 6/21/20

Hello, a day late but here I am now.  Keeping busy as usual.  I mailed a signature block to a friend who is collecting them - I forgot to take a photo.  Also made a block for the Facebook group - Quilt Block Lottery - took the place of Block Lotto.  Here's the June Block:

Finished Month One blocks of the Arrow Rock Sampler.
Month Two arrived and I've started the first block - will have to make 5 this month.

Figured out how I want to lay out my crab quilt.  Here's the first row I made:
I worked on my secret project also, and finally started quilting the border of that UFO. I might have it done by the next post - that would be great!

As to 15 Minutes to Stitch:
15 minute days/week = 3/7 days
15 minute days/June = 16/20 days
15 minute days/2020 = 145/171 days
Success rate = 84.79%

And for destashing used 0.3 yd for those blocks - all scraps which gives me a YTD total of 12.86 yds .

What have you been up to?  Leave me a comment and I'll come by and see.  Linking to Design Wall Monday, Sunday Stash Report, and 15 Minutes to Stitch.   Blessings to you all. Please wear a mask and stay safe.

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:


I'm linking to 15 Minutes to Stitch, Sunday Stash Report and Design Wall Monday ( which hold just one block from my new secret quilt top).  Have a blessed week and please stay safe.

October Doings

October is behind us.  Does that put us in the Winter months?  I think it does. The skies have been foggy in the mornings - a thick fog that...
