This year starts with some great progress in the sewing room thanks to the goals for the new year and some inspiration from Kate at Life in Pieces, Angela at So Scrappy, and Judy and APQ UFO challenges. My goal is to spend at least 15 minutes in the sewing room at least three days a week, and I did well most of the month (I did have one week where I was just a little too tired, and only had two days) - I had 14 days of some sewing room time, so I think that's a pretty good start.
I worked on several projects this month, some that I showed in my last post and the rest I'll show here:
- A new purse
- Three scrap blocks in lighter blues (as part of the RSC Challenge)
- Loaded and finished quilting my January UFO - the Carol Doak paper pieced blocks that I started in 2007-08 and got into a top last year.
- Finished quilting a top for my mom
For my stash report, I only used a little fabric - for the back of the Carol Doak quilt, and a little white for the scrap blocks. No new fabric came in for January.
Fabric added this month: 0 yards
Fabric used this month: 1 1/8 yards
Fabric used year to date: 1 1/8 yards
And in the stitching front, I had a great January, with three finishes:
- Baby's first Christmas ornament
- Summer Camp (a very small piece from a kit I bought over the holidays)
- Baby It's Cold Outside (the second piece on my Snowbelles project)
Hope you had a great January - the cold weather kept us in a lot of the month, but we did find an afternoon to get to the ice skating rink. It was fun for the kids to ice skate for the first time and I got use of some muscles that haven't been used in a while!
I am doing a little linking up for this post with...
