15 Minutes To Stitch 2022

15 Minutes To Stitch 2022 - Week 31

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 31: 7 of 7 = 100 %

103 minutes/day average across 7-days

July 28 of 31 = 90%
2022: 182 of 212 = 86 %

Having a great time relaxing and sewing as much as I can when not working. July quilt guild meeting today and a busy weekend. Puppy recovered from a back strain last weekend, but he's now scraped the back of his leg trying to get to squirrels running along the backyard fence.

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