15 Minutes To Stitch 2020 - Week 49

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 49: 4 of 7 = 57 %
    • 45 minutes/day average across 7-days
  • November: 26 of 30 = 87 %
  • December: 4 of 6 = 67 %
  • 2020: 282 of 341 = 83 %
This week's progress has continued focusing on the top 4 Fettle those Finishes & Sticky Prod Along projects. 

Work was very busy for 3-days with a little leaving early on Wednesday afternoon. Thanksgiving was a very socially distanced affair in a friends' yard just 4 of us. It was lovely. Since she has 3 kids, she felt like we were her stand-ins family so she wasn't as lonely. We haven't eaten out of our house since early March so it was an unusual experience. I did a lot of cooking and cleaning this week so the sewing time was on the shorter side. And I was enjoying watching movies with my husband and not leaving the living room to go and cut fabric.

So, how did the sewing go this week?

Top items with progress:
1) JAX MQG Gift Ornament before December meeting. 9-patch chain pieced rows with Flying Geese ready to sew:


2) Gift Blocks for family. HST bows ready for trimming then sew into a row and attach to the Gift Boxes


3) Second of the Journey2Nebula projects to catch-up: Rock Candy, #4 in the series. The center is now together. Next up, adding Borders. Julie Herman's patterns, rulers, and videos have been super helpful showing every step clearly.



4) Third of the Journey2Nebula projects is #7, Gemstone Pillowcase patterns was released this week and we cut the Feature and Band pieces. I am on time with the sew along for this pattern.

  1. Congrats on a great week, espeically if work was a bit of a pain (I know that feeling). Love the fabrics you have picked out for the #7 Nebula project. Hope work is less of a pain and you have a great stitching week.

    1. Thanks so much, Kate! Every day is wonderful when I can think about my projects even if I don't have a chance to work on them. Hope your final week of work for 2020 is smooth sailing.
