CROSS STITCH DIARY: April 2021

I’ve been focused the past two weeks on finishing up my February themed projects so I could try and get caught up on my Monthly series. I realized today that I just have too many monthly series so it is making it hard to work on my non-monthly projects.

EPP DIARY: April 2021 projects

This particular post is so much faster than any of the others mostly because if you are slow stitching, you really can’t have too many ongoing projects if you actually want to finish them. I do really love English Paper Piecing. It is so satisfying seeing all those tiny stitches.

Finishalong Diary: Quarter 1 2021

I really thought I would finish more things than I did, but I still finished 7 different projects this quarter out of 21. I feel good about that. I keep getting more organized as time goes on, so all is good!

Quilt Diary: March 2021

My focus this month has been finishing up that Christmas Wedding Quilt that I have been working on forever. I especially wanted it done in March. It would be an understatement to say I was done! With that said, my other quilty projects have been neglected. Once I mailed off the quilt, I have jumped in with both feet trying to catch up on my other projects.

APPLIQUE DIARY: Where I stand in March

This month I did not spend as much time as I would like on my applique projects since I was bound and determined to finish my Christmas quilt (which got mailed last week). I did manage to eek out a little time for these fun projects in the past four weeks.

CROSS STITCH DIARY: February Successes!

I’m feeling pretty good about the last four weeks in relating to my cross stitch projects with four finishes, two new starts and another five new starts in the next seven days.

EPP DIARY: Stitchy March underway!

February was pretty busy month for hockey and travel so I feel like I got a lot done with my English Paper Piecing projects.

QUILT DIARY: Under the Needle in February 2021

Same as in January, I have focused mostly on my free motion quilting and have really neglected my other sewing projects. You throw in a trip to Florida the last week of February and I really shut down my own progress. #sigh I apologize for the week late post.

APPLIQUE DIARY: February Update and Changes

I’ve been busy with life this past month and haven’t made it into my sewing room as much as I would like. I tell myself to take a deep breath and let it go. Reminding myself that quilting in all of its forms is a stress reliever not a stressful hobby. Anyone else feeling me with setting your own goals to high. Well let’s get started on what has happened (or not) with my applique projects.

CROSS STITCH DIARY: February Starts and Stops

As discussed last month, I pushed forward through end of January on my Christmas stitches. Unlike Halloween though, I decided to retain one Christmas project to continue plugging away while putting the rest up for now.
