15 Minutes To Stitch 2021 - Week 51

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 51: 7 of 7 = 100 %
• 133 minutes/day average across 7-days
• December 19 of 19 = 100%
• 2021: 315 of 353 = 89 %

Continuing tweak the way I view reality learning from Abraham Hicks YouTubes. So nice to start off the holidays with a 4-day workweek last week taking Friday off. 

Still working with the dogs, had a great walk training session with Osky to work on his reactivity to other dogs. In the backyard still taking out one dog at a time or with Osky on leash is working great. And Kipper's ear treatments are going well, 7th of the 9-weeks yeast infection treatment for deep in his ears. He's responding well to the treatment and I'm so glad it only has to be applied once a week. We do it after his weekly bath on Sundays. 

So, how did the sewing projects go?

Top items with progress:

1) Honey Bee Quilters Guild held the annual Elfin Magic workshop remaining projects not yet done:

1.a) Phone clutch - Going to try and finish this during staycation since the extended binding was picked up at the December 7th meeting:

It's time to start pushing forward with Unit 2 motifs this week. I watched the first motif video and practiced on small notebook pages while waiting for hubby's community band Christmas Concert to start.

3) Vinyl quilted candy pouch sent with Happy Go Lucky Unicorns quilt, version 3:

4) Patterns by Jen 2021 Monthly Color Challenge quilt from blocks adjusted to 2" finished size for my Mouselet (doll) Lil'Trixie:

Since the blocks were inspired by Fruits and Vegetables, this backing was perfect for this quilt.

5) Easy Breezy Doggie quilt top/flimsy is almost done with the inner border attached. Need to cut and attach the outer border
