The secret project is done so I’ve got a bit used. Woohoo! And I started a new project called Staycation. I started it a few weeks ago at my guild’s monthly workshop. It’s an easy enough project but I never cut enough to just sit and sew for long hours so every time I piece everything I can piece, I get up to cut as much as I feel up to cutting and stay relatively accurate. I’ve got 2 of these “great blocks” ready to go.
I have 6 halves of these blocks ready to go, which will get me 1 great block and half of another. I need 4 for a lap size or 9 for a full/queen. I started working on Bonnie Hunter’s mystery quilt on Friday along with the rest of the Bonnie Hunter fans and I’m using staycation as an leader/ender/break between sets of chain piecing for this year’s project, On Ringo Lake. I’m inspired!
The fabric stash:
- Used since last time: 2.5 yards
- Used year to date: 44.75 yards
- Added since last time: 0 yards
- Added year to Date: 124 yards
- Net ADDED for 2017: 79.25 yards
Slow Stitching Sunday
Same story on my Sunday Project, A Rainbow Garden, as last Sunday! No progress, not even one stitch. That’s just how the cookie crumbles, isn’t it?
~Happy Sunday!
