15 Minutes To Stitch 2021 - Week 38
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 38: 5 of 7 = 71 %
- 73 minutes/day average across 7-days
- September: 16 of 19 = 84%
- 2021: 226 of 262 = 86 %
Oh boy, has work been crazy. AND I'm starting the String And Story Fall 2021 Free Motion Quilting Academy. We got a sneak peak of the first motif and I started practicing.
Also, both dogs had birthdays, Kipper is 11 and Osky is now 2. I LOVE those boys.
So, how did the sewing projects go?
Top items with progress:
1) Modern Quilt Guild QuiltCon 2022 Artisan Challenge - working on the printed out EQ8 designs for starting to cut the provided and background fabrics:
3) String and Story Free Motion Quilting Academy
Received Fat Quarter Kona's solids bundle and selected FQ's for practice sandwiches; pressed all Fat Quarters for practice sandwiches. Going to try a few different basting sprays to test.
First motif, Meander, doodles & practice quilt:
With directions from HollyAnne Knight's videos on Tension, I was able to adjust my machine and fix the issue at the very beginning.

I hope Kipper and Osky had good birthdays? I hadn’t realised they shared a birthday week - that’s a lovely thing for them to share, I think. Your fmq is looking fantastic and I’m looking forward to seeing next week’s as well as all the PBJ blocks. Lil’ Trixie’s block in particular! Keep going with your fettling list - I think I need to rethink mine!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! The boys do love to get extra treats and toys on two sides of the same week. I feel like I am constantly shifting priorities to make progress in my art instead of just churning out commodities. eHUGS friend.
DeleteHappy birthday to your puppies. You used your sewing time well. Hope this week has been as good.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kate.
Delete(Completely off topic but blogger won’t let me reply to your latest comment on the Furtle link up: would you like me to open another link up on that post so you can add an August Furtle? No worries if not x)
ReplyDeleteOh, no bad-blogger! I think we will be okay with waiting until the September Furtle as I haven't gone back and finished the post yet anyway. LOL!
