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!

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.

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.

EPP QUILT DIARY: How slow can you go?

As would be expected, English Paper Piecing is a slow process. I have always done it during hockey practice. With hockey not being normal yet, that has slowed my progress even more! Writing this posts, reminds me that the time I have dedicated this aspect of my quilting has been very minimal in 2020. Something has got to change!

CROSS STITCH DIARY: September Starts and Finishes

Finishes!!!!

Singing in the Rain Stitchalong with Flamingo Toes

Stitchalong with Beverly @ Flamingo Toes

I was very excited to finish this Stitch-A-long on time. This is my second finish this year. Being new to cross stitching in this modern age, I am learning the expected etiquette. So this was 28 count and I used Kimberly’s aurfil floss colors. This was my first time to use aurifil floss. I will get better with providing the information everyone expects.
