April 2026 PHD Report from Life In Pieces

I'm not sure what happened to April. Well, that's not entirely true. We were on vacation for almost half the month, so there is only half of month of stitching progress to report for the April PHD Report over at Ms P Designs. There was definitely progress the latter half of the month, but definitely not as much as previous months. My April PHD report looks exactly the same as March's report.

No new finishes, but several projects moved closer to that goal this month.

Catching Up: The March 2026 PHD Report from Life In Pieces

Our trip to Texas started on April 1st. Between getting laundry done and packing, there just wasn't time to get all my project photos taken before we left. I missed the April linky party at Ms. P Designs. Even though the link up has closed, I'm still going to publish a March report to reference at the end of the year (my memory is very short). Here's my PHD report as of the end of March.

There is finally a finish to report. Kate's Choice is finally a completed quilt after 14 years on the UFO ...

February 2026 PHD Report from Life In Pieces

February is such a short month. January was 5 weeks, so a true 4 week month is a shock afterwards. Now that the second month of 2026 is finished, it's time to report on how I'm doing on my PHDs (projects half done) and link up with Ms P Designs' PHD in 2026. My PHD report is unchanged from January.

No finishes, but no new starts either. It was still a good month because there has definitely been progress on several projects.

Kate's Choice is an almost finish. The second border is attached. The top border is ...

January 2026 PHD Report from Life In Pieces

I'm playing along with Ms. P Designs' PHD in 2026 again this year. It's my sixth year and I've yet to earn my PHD. Maybe I can make it work this year? We'll see.

Only one month into the program and I've started 2 new projects already. One was planned, the other unplanned. I'm hoping to finish both quilts this year. Fingers crossed on that plan. No finishes yet, but there has been good progress on moving several projects closer to that point.

My big goal for January was to restart the quilt as ...

PHD in 2026 from Life In Pieces

I've reviewed how last year went. Decided on a strategy rather than goals for the year. And finally filled out my PHD list for 2026 so I can link up with Ms. P Designs to see if I can actually earn a PHD in 2026.

This will my 8th year to strive to get a PHD. I probably won't earn one this year either, but it's good motivation. My problem is I love piecing, not so much the finishing. Maybe I can work on that predilection this year. Here's my PHD list for 2026.

If I ...
