15 Minutes To Stitch 2022 - Week 15

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 15: 7 of 7 = 100 %
• 91 minutes/day average across 7-days
• April 10 of 10 = 100%
• 2022: 84 of 100 = 84 %

Trying to find my own inner guidance when everything around me seems to be shifting. Aspects of life I took for granted are not as stable as I had believed them to be and that is okay. Life is so interesting and revealing. I a loving every new aspect of experience. 

Last week was harder to get sewing until I ended the week with an extra day off and took advantage. Tuesday night was fun socializing with one my my Quilt Guild monthly meetings.

Below 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: Decide on April OMG - Completed 4/5
