15 Minutes To Stitch 2020 - Week 21

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 21: 5 of 7 = 71 %
    • 128 minutes/day average across 7-days
  • May: 20 of 24 = 83 %
  • 2020: 124 of 145 = 85 %
Took some comp time off on Friday to replace the Saturday lost 2 weekends ago. So nice to have 4-days off in a row. 

Hubby found some elastic for Face Fabric Filters and got two more made for any workmen that need to come to the house.


Finished a secret swap item that had to be designed first. Such a relief to get it completed and added a new skill, attaching a snap using this YouTube by Laura Ann Coia of Sew Very Easy.

Did a little bit of fun photographing Sunny & Trixie at the beach for the Instagram #WooliamGangBeachParty

Not too many photos with all the secret sewing going on.
