15 Minutes To Stitch 2020 - Week 20

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 20: 6 of 7 = 86 %
• 72 minutes/day average across 7-days
• May: 15 of 17 = 88 %
• 2020: 119 of 138 = 86 %

Started training a new client via WebEx for the first time in my career. They were pleased with the first week and asked for another which is great! But it makes for a busy 2 weeks for me with one client finishing their project and another client starting. 

Finished the 2nd swap, Quilty Things with my local quilt guild that's due first, May 25th! Can't post any photos since it's a secret item until after it's received.

Trixie says, "Shhhh, don't post any photos yet!"

Took photos of Trixie doing quality control checks of my work. 

Need to make a couple masks for tomorrow when 1-2 workmen come to the house. The electrician last week, didn't have any masks and hubby gave them the ones that he purchased from a friend. He wanted to see what others were making.

This week, I'll be working on the next secret sewing project for a Mid-Summer Gift Swap. I have purchased items from maker friends also. It would be a good idea to figure out how I'm going to wrap everything plus start the letter to go with it.
