This was a good week. I have gotten into a steady pattern of stitching and am especially enjoying unwinding in the evening with some handwork in front of the tv. As a result, I've sewn every day this week. I haven't kept up with my stitching reports after not stitching anything for such a long time, so I won't try to update it for the rest of this year. I know my percentage is so low that it would be discouraging.
I'll just say that this week is 7 out of 7 days, or 100%. Yay! The bad news is that I didn't start stitching at the beginning of the month, so my monthly average is only 76%.
I've completed a few more stars and bought some fabric that I think will work as a background block for all of them. I was going to use a light green with tiny boxes, but then took Kate's suggestion (Life in Pieces) and looked at some grays and really liked one of them. I also bought a couple of fat quarters for a little color variety. So yes, I added to the stash this week, but I've already used all of it, so it's all good.
Fabric in this week: 1.5 yards
Fabric out this week 1.5 yards
I'll see about bringing my stash report up to date in the next week or two.

Congrats on finding time to stitch every day this week. Sometimes you just have to ignore what came before or you get demotivated. I quit looking at the fabric in numbers because it got so depressing, but it has been helping me "just say no" to any fabric sales. Have a very happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI may stop looking at the percentage of stitching days. Just one day off makes such a big difference. But for some reason, the stash numbers motivate me to do better. I guess I associate the % with pass/fail and the others are just numbers. lol It's also making me realize that as much as I have in my stash, it's still not enough to complete a quilt that needs specific colors or patterns.
DeleteOh, I like that! In it comes, out it goes! Perfect, and stitchy time, too! I could never get 100%, but I'm going to try for 86% next year - that will be 100% of possible stitch days for me. =)
ReplyDeleteMy overall percentage is around 37%. Not sewing a stitch for 4+ months is hard on the numbers. I'm going to try for 70% next year. That's passing, right? lol
