15 Minutes To Stitch 2021 - Week 7

I loved participating in Kate's Life in Pieces 15 Minutes to Stitch since 2020 and am a fan of her blog. She's continuously hosted since 2011!

My 2021 goal is to stitch at least 15-minutes 50% of the days in the year.

• Week 7: 7 of 7 = 100 %
• 75 minutes/day average across 7-days
• February: 14 of 14 = 100 %
• 2021: 39 of 45 = 87 %

This month continues to be busy, I've had to push to sewing to get the time in. Work is busy, 15-month old puppy training, and 10-year old dog's ear infection is finally better. 

So, how did the sewing go this week?

Top items with progress:

1) Patterns By Jen's 2021 Color Challenge - finished all 3 February blocks 2", 6" & 12":

Lil Trixie is so excited that she's getting her very own quilt from the 2" blocks!

2) Continued with the Bonnie Hunter Easy Breezy Leaders/Enders, but no photos

3) Separate the paper pieces into block baggies for my Pink Door Fabrics Smitten EPP BOM in the Heather Ross Malibu Fabric Line. Also pulled the paper off the cutting templates adding OmniGrid Glow Line Florescent Ruler Tape to line the fussy cutting area:

4) Finished Chapter 3 in the Janome workbook, great because Facebook group keeps everyone's posts since it's a work at your own pace, this week is Chapter 6. This dragonfly stitchout is the last part of the chapter. I changed threads to be able to have different colored body and wings. The fabric is a hand dyed scrap from a class.

5) Started on the Funky Friends Factory Minky Cuddle Dachshund and Platypus by preparing the pieces for the Platypus. I'm intimidated because I think it will be large, but I'm game for trying.
