15 Minutes To Stitch 2020 - Week 51

I loved participating in Kate's Life in Pieces 15 Minutes to Stitch in 2019 and am a fan of her blog. She's continuously hosted since 2011!

My 2020 goal is to stitch at least 15-minutes 50% of the days in the year.

• Week 51: 6 of 7 = 86 %
• 67 minutes/day average across 7-days
• December: 17 of 20 = 85 %
• 2020: 295 of 355 = 83 %

Last 5-day workweek of 2020 completed and two 4-day workweeks remaining. Lots of errands and follow-ups this week that got in the way of some sewing. Still continuing the focusing on the top Fettle those Finishes & Sticky Prod Along projects. 

Third pair (the progressives) of glasses were received this week and they are wonderful! Lighter and larger lenses!

So, how did the sewing go this week?

Finish:

1) Completed both the Oyster and Navy background blocks for Red December in Patterns By Jen 2020 Monthly Color Challenge. 

Top items with progress:

1) Second of the Journey2Nebula projects to catch-up: Rock Candy, #4 in the series: Flimsy is ready and backing is ready 

2) Third of the Journey2Nebula projects is #7, Gemstone Pillowcase patterns assembled this week in the sew along. So far, my Bands are assembled.

3) Re-sew of the 2018 Patterns By Jen Color Challenge 6" January block. 

4) Picked the feature fabrics for the Journey2Nebula project #8, Infinity Stones throw and found thread to match each except for the purple. No purple thread in my stash so I ordered 3 spools.

Updating Mini Archie's Fettle Those Finishes! to push the finishes towards the end of the year.
