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!

I'm linking to 15 Minutes to Stitch, Can I get a Whoop, Whoop?, Oh, Scrap!, Stash Report, and Design Wall Monday.  See you there.

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:

Some of This; Some of That 7/26/20

Let's do the stash report first.  Used a yard adding borders to my crab quilt, making binding for the UFO I finished quilting, and making an Arrow Rock Sampler block. YTD total is now 15.6 yds. Here's the sample blockon my design wall:
Three more to go.

And here are the crabs with the added borders:
It's in the "to be quilted pile".

Was better this week about my 15 Minutes to Stitch.  Only 1 day did I not reach my goal, so that gives me a 86%  for the week.  Much better than that 57% of last week.

That's pretty much it.  I'll be linking to Sunday Stash15 Minutes to Stitch, and Design Wall Monday.  See you there.
