October 2022 Furtle - Fettle Those Finishes Update

October Review / Furtle

Archie The Wonder Dog

As defined by Mini Archie, ‘Furtling’ means ‘having a rummage, a delve, a look at the contents of something’. So I have furtled around to see what I have been doing this month and now I’m going to furtle around the blogs of anyone else who links up over at Archie the Wonder Dog!


-Janine at Rainbow Hare on 2/28/2019


While the FinishALong organized group was cancelled in 2020 Mini-Archie, one of my favorite online personalities, and his person started hosting a monthly progress link-up: Fettle Those Finishes! 

I'm posting my weekly/monthly stats here for linking up once a month with Kate at Life In Pieces. My 2022 goal is to stitch at least 15-minutes 50% of the days in the year, same as 2021.
  • Week 40: 7 of 7 = 100 %
    • 79 minutes/day average across 7-days
  • Week 41: 7 of 7 = 100 %
    • 96 minutes/day average across 7-days
  • Week 42: 6 of 7 = 86 %
    • 143 minutes/day average across 7-days
  • Week 43: 6 of 7 = 86 %
    • 73 minutes/day average across 7-days
  • Week 44: 7 of 7 = 100 %
    • 65 minutes/day average across 7-days
  • October 29 of 31 = 94%
  • 2022: 272 of 304 = 89 %

October included both highs and lows. A local 3-day quilting retreat with one of my guilds. A hurricane that didn't cause any damage. And unfortunately such a bad sinus infection that I had to use up over half my sick time. The doctor advised that many people in my area have gotten extremely bad allergies from the hurricane blowing through bringing particles from other areas.

  3. Somehow, despite that awful sinus infection, you’ve made loads of progress this month and lots of stunning finishes to boot! Hooray for finishes *waves pompoms* Thanks for Furtling and Fettling! (I checked, I’m definitely on the right post this time!)
