I reached 100 yards used for the first time ever! I am super excited. Of that 31% was for charity quilts. Of course, I want some fabric. Finished 2020 Quilt Projects Five quilts are now complete for the year. I am even more thrilled than I was last month. Cool Windmill – finished March 2020 … Continue reading “26 Projects 2020 #11”

I checked in on my donation blocks progress a few days ago. I wanted to see how many I made and where I was in comparison to last year. Last year I made 115 total donation blocks. So far, this year, I am up to 95. I want to make at least 20 more to … Continue reading “26 Projects 2020 #9”
I finished piecing the front of the Lucky Charm Pillow cover a few days ago and am getting ready to baste (bleah!) and quilt. Sewing the half hexies together was not that difficult, but I didn’t enjoy it. I don’t enjoy sewing rows together. That is how this project goes together, so I had to … Continue reading “Lucky Charm Pillow Top”
Even though I am losing interest in this project, I am soldiering on. I decided to do it and I cut the half hexies for this pillow, so I am doing it. I started sewing the half hexies together despite everything. They are looking pretty good despite my problems with cutting them. With my foot … Continue reading “Lucky Charm Sewing”
The Lucky Charm Pillow Top project for Journey 2 Nebula started last Tuesday. I wasn’t very excited about it. After working with hexagons a lot, I am over them. I was determined to do the project. I had to decide, first, what fabrics. I watch the video and decided to use fabrics from the 5″ … Continue reading “Lucky Charm Pillow Top Start”

I have stayed away from fabric purchases for the past month or so. I am stocking up a bit on zippers and I bought some FlexFoam in anticipation of making more bags and Minikins projects. With this tactic and sewing as much as I can, I am regaining some of the ground I lost on … Continue reading “26 Projects 2020 #7”
I have bought more fabric, so I have lost ground on using 100 yards of fabric. I have used 38 yards net (76 total) so far this year. My numbers are going down, because I need to stop buying fabric! In looking at some of the projects, especially the gifts, it seems like such a … Continue reading “26 Projects 2020 #6”
I am still doing well on my goal to using 100 yards of fabric. I have used 42 yards so far this year. I bought a few yards last week, so that is keeping me from being at 50 yards halfway through the year. I decided to include quilts, like Frolic! when they are completely … Continue reading “26 Projects 2020 #5”
