15 Minutes To Stitch 2020 - Week 44

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 44: 6 of 7 = 86 %
• 143 minutes/day average across 7-days
• October: 25 of 31 = 81 %
• November: 1 of 1 = 100 %
• 2020: 253 of 307 = 83 %

This was a terrific sewing and house exterior clean-up Staycation week. Hubby and I have been exhausted every day. But I do have a lovely sun-kissed glow now.

Finished the Olive October blocks in Patterns By Jen 2020 Monthly Color Challenge with both Oyster and Navy backgrounds:

Finished the first of two Secret projects for the IG's #WooliamGangStNicolasDayGiftSwap2020. Need to get these done ASAP to get them in the mail to ship Internationally. 

Can't share any more than Black and White photos or it will give the surprise away.

Got started on the second project and got only so far. No Black and White picture yet because they would give the surprise away!

In the Journey 2 Nebula, I have cut the Rock Candy pieces and decided to do a more orderly layout of the diamonds as follows:

I tried a few layouts, but didn't really like them as much:
