15 Minutes To Stitch 2020 - Week 19

I loved participating in Kate's Life in Pieces 15 Minutes to Stitch in 2019 and am a fan of her blog. She's hosting again for 2020

My 2020 goal is to stitch at least 15-minutes 50% of the days in the year.
  • Week 19: 6 of 7 = 86 %
    • 39 minutes/day average across 7-days
  • May: 9 of 10 = 90 %
  • 2020: 113 of 131 = 86 %
Big wrap up week; made it across the finish line. Busy, busy, busy. 

On Friday again, I ate lunch outside, we're going to try and do that regularly:

Got my mending done this week. 

Kipper's Kokopelli custom PJ's no longer have an L-shaped rip:

Darned the holes in my dog walking jeans based on a YouTube:


Sewing has been squeezed in during other activities a lot this week. Two Zoom meetings multi-tasking to with hand-sewing more of the hanging sleeve on my pluses quilt, Adding Hope. 

Then also started on secret sewing project for a Mid-Summer Gift Swap. I have purchased items from maker friends also.

Joined a 2nd swap, Quilty Things, with my local quilt guild that's due sooner, May 25th! We're to learn more about the person we are swapping with. Got that one started this week taking the time to figure out what I would be doing. Here's a close-up of the back of some of the fabric being used
