15 Minutes To Stitch 2022 - Weeks 9 & 10

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 2022 goal is to stitch at least 15-minutes 50% of the days in the year, same as 2021.

• Week 9: 4 of 7 = 57 %
• 42 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 10: 4 of 7 = 57 %
• 38 minutes/day average across 7-days
• February 25 of 28 = 89%
• March 3 of 6 = 50%
• 2022: 56 of 65 = 86 %

Totally crazy stressed myself out with work, outdoor dog event practice and trying to keep up the same sewing as I had in prior winter months. It was not possible and something had to give. It was me. I ended up with a migraine and had to take a day off from almost everything. Luckily it was a Sunday and I was able to reschedule the hair appointment for another month out. And I did get the dog's nails dremeled before realizing it was time for self care. 

My sewing stats have significantly decreased, but that's to allow me to enjoy that when I do have time for it. No need to stress myself in that area.

I am sharing my weekly goals that help me focus on a small task to get me breaking down large steps into small bites.

Sew one thing: 

Prior post week: FMQA Sampler flimsy center - Completed 2/23

Last week: HB Charity Pocket Quilts - first 5 - Completed 2/28

This week: First thread for HB star binding

So, how did the sewing projects go?

Top items with progress:

1) Free Motion Quilting Academy Sampler (FAL #7, flimsy is Feb OMG). Flimsy center pieces all webbed together. And then 3 of 12 row sewn together

Border fabric hanging on a Dollar Tree towel rack in the background.

2) HoneyBeeQuilters Guild is collecting pocket quilts with hearts (wooden or buttons) sewn inside. I've started and have 3 quilt tops ready for sandwiching. Large hearts have shown up.
