What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It finally slowed down midweek.  Grad Girl is moved in and has started her new job.  My Guy left on Tuesday as he had to be back at work. I stayed in Texas the rest of the week to finish the unpacking and take care of a few errands while Grad Girl was at work.  I'm flying home today. On the one hand I'm sorry to be leaving Grad Girl, it's been fun to hang out post all the moving stress, but I am ready to be home and spend some significant time in my sewing room ...

My apologies for being so late posting today.  It's not been the best week on a number of fronts.  It started with My Guy getting admitted to the hospital on Monday.  Thankfully, they found the source of the infection, treated him and he was out of the hospital by late Tuesday afternoon.  I've been trying to help Grad Girl with the apartment leasing process. She's been dealing with two major miscommunication errors the apartment management made that prevented her from finishing the leasing process, so she still doesn't have an apartment and she starts work in ...

I'm a bit late posting this week, I completely spaced that it was Sunday.  Grad Girl and I spent the week in Houston doing some apartment hunting.  I'd forgotten just how bad Houston traffic is. The heat and humidity was another not missed living condition. It was a long, tiring week. We were out most of the day and spent our evenings recovering.  It wasn't the best week for stitching time. 

• 15 minute days/week = 3/7 days

Not sure what happened to this week.  Allergies have been bad and I'm still dealing with the changes in my schedule with Grad Girl home during her job search.  But it looks like the schedule will go back to normal in September.  Grad Girl has a job offer, though she hasn't seen the official paperwork yet. I know that's the goal of all parents, to get their kids self sufficient.  Being honest about it,  I'll miss the disruptions once she's off doing what she's supposed to be doing.   

As I noted earlier, it wasn ...

It's been one of those weeks where the stitching plan just didn't work out with the rest of the to do list.  

• 15 minute days/week = 1/7 days
• 15 minute days/July = 10/19 days
• 15 minute days/2025 = 181/200 days
• Success rate = 90. 50%

It's been a busy week.  Grad Girl has been home this week, so we've had a chance to hang out. We finally started decluttering her room on Wednesday. It was fun to laugh over the memories and the inevitable, "Why did I keep this?".    My Guy and I celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary this week. We went out for a very nice dinner. I've also developed a summer cold, the last couple of days a tissue box has pretty much gone everywhere I have.  All of that to say, it wasn't the best week on the ...

We had a wonderful 4th of July holiday with my family.  Grad Girl made it home. She'll be here all this week, then she heads back home to pack and move.  I did pretty well at fitting in some stitching time most days.  

• 15 minute days/week = 6/7 days
• 15 minute days/June =  27/30 days
• 15 minute days/2025 = 175/186 days
• Success rate = 94.09%

I didn't mean to be absent from the blog this week.  We both attended a technical conference last week and our mornings were early and our evenings late. It was just hard to find the time to write a blog post.  I also didn't do so hot on finding time to stitch during the later half of the week, it was just too hectic and we both were pretty much wiped out when we got back to the room.  So this weeks stitching stats don't look so hot.  

• 15 minute days/week = 4/7 days
• 15 minute ...

It's been quite week on the storm front thankfully. Summer has kicked in. Hot and humid are the words of the week.  Looks like we are in for  a lot of that over the next few weeks.  It's a good reason to hold up in the sewing room during those hot afternoons.  Which is pretty much what I did this week, it definitely helps with the sewing time. 

• 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
• 15 minute days/June = 21/21 days
• 15 minute days/2025 = 165/172 days
• Success rate = 95.93%

It was another good week on the playing with thread and fabric week. Except I did a lot more playing with fabric than with actually sewing it.  I need to get a start on next year's BOM.  There is no way I'm going to be able to make a block and write a pattern each month.  I'm going to start early on that.  Still it kept me spending time in the sewing room and playing with my stash. 

• 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
• 15 minute days/June = 14/14 days
• 15 minute days/2025 = 157 ...

Happily, my quilty mojo came back this week.  I got lots done in the sewing room once I recovered from our trip to Texas (Still working on getting all the laundry done, I may have been stitching instead of working on that).  It definitely shows up in my stitching time numbers for the week. 

• 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
• 15 minute days/June = 7/7 days
• 15 minute days/2025 = 151/158 days
• Success rate = 95.57%

Hopefully the return of the mojo will last another week.  I've got lots to do in the sewing room.  Getting ...

My plan to concentrate on mostly hand work paid off this week.  I was a bit more motivated to get in my 15 minutes each day. 

• 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
• 15 minute days/May = 29/31 days
• 15 minute days/2025 = 144/151 days
• Success rate = 95.36%

My sewing mojo is still MIA.  It wasn't the best week on the stitching front.  

• 15 minute days/week = 5/7days
• 15 minute days/May = 22/24 days
• 15 minute days/2025 = 137/144 days
• Success rate = 95.14%

My sew mojo has been pretty absent this week. I've managed to get in my minimum of 15 minutes each day, but that's been it other than late night sew. 

• 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
• 15 minute days/May = 17/17 days
• 15 minute days/2025 = 132/137 days
• Success rate = 96.35% 

I wasn't very motivated this week.  Sometimes you just need to do something else. Reading was big on my list of something else for some reason.  Even so I still managed at least 15 minutes of stitching stuff each day.  

• 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
• 15 minute days/May = 10/10 days
• 15 minute days/2025 = 125/130 days
• Success rate = 96.15%

It was another chill week.  I'm making progress on emptying the attic. But now I'm to the actually stuff in boxes.  So figuring out what to keep, donate and pitch is going to take longer.  I still managed to get in my stitching time this week.
