15 Minutes To Stitch 2021 - Week 23
I loved participating in Kate's Life in Pieces 15 Minutes to Stitch since 2020 and am a fan of her blog. She's continuously hosted since 2011!
My 2021 goal is to stitch at least 15-minutes 50% of the days in the year.
- Week 23: 6 of 7 = 86 %
- 81 minutes/day average across 7-days
- May: 25 of 31 = 81 %
- June: 5 of 6 = 83 %
- 2021: 134 of 157 = 85 %

Here's my hexagon with the provided triangles:

You've done well with finding time to stitch the last month. You've done a lot of fabric cutting, that's the part I don't like doing all at once. Enjoy your stitching time. You've got some great fabric combinations to play with.
