My quilting projects ended up not being the priority last week so I didn't accomplish much toward my goals. Maybe I need to be more realistic about my quilting goals for each week. I worked in the yard most of 4 days. Soon it will be too hot to spend much time outside, but for now I wanted to get some things done. One day my son came to help trim low tree limbs so no sewing got done that day.
How I did on last week's goals:
1. Do more quilting on “Celtic Fantasy” Not Done. I did buy some more quilting thread for this quilt but did not use it yet.
2. Sandwich “Peony Stars in Summer Winds” Done. It got sandwiched but still waits for quilting.
3. Piece blocks for charity quilt border. Not Done. Instead I decided to piece the center portion. Here is the center part of “Traffic Jam” ( a free pattern from Pat Sloan).
The border is supposed to be 3 rounds of 2” finished squares like this.
I sorted and pulled scrap 2 ½” strips to use but didn't get much more done.
My quilt guild has has 2 members pass away recently and their fabric stash has been donated. I brought home only 3 yards to add to mine. Then I pulled from my stash backing for 2 charity quilts so I am pleased with my stash use and reduction.
Stash Report for 2023
Net decrease 21.21 yds
Goals for this week:
Have a great week and enjoy some time for quilting.
