It's
Monday and the first day of a new month and start of the 2nd
quarter of the year. So far this year I have finished 3 of my UFOs
including the major “Celtic Fantasy” for my son. I started 2
new projects ( “Stars Like Spaghetti” and Tropical Log Cabins)
and have the tops complete so I feel good about my first yearly goal
and progress on my UFOs. I
have finished /quilted 7 comfort quilts, pieced a few more comfort
tops and made 3 placemats for Meals on Wheels. A few other small
projects have been finished. I hope I can keep up the rate
for finishing.
Saturday
I quilted this comfort quilt top for church which Eunice pieced.
I
quilted the FM swirl hook.
The binding is ready for someone else to
sew on.
My
second yearly goal is to reduce my fabric stash. So far I have
reduced stash by about 1/3 of my decrease in 2023 but not quite ¼ of
my decrease in 2022. I would like to use or give away more fabric.
Stash
Report for 2024
this
past week- Used: 1 yds Added: 0 yds
So
far this year- Used: 42.11 yds Added: 18.125 yds
Net
decrease 23.985 yds
My
third yearly goal is to control and use scrap fabric. This is where
I have made the least progress and need to make a new plan. Maybe I
can set a timer for 15 minutes each day and deal with scraps. I'll
see if I can.
Have
a great week and enjoy some time for quilting.
