What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Do you ever look at your calendar and realize that you don't really have that much time to get ready for something?  Grad Girl will be moving home next month.  She's been applying for jobs and has had one video interview so far.  With the current job market, she's probably going to be here for at least a month, likely 2 to 3 before she finds a full time chemist job.  I've been using her old closet as storage for some of my quilting supplies, I'm going to have to find someplace else because she ...

Laundry and household chores are my prime focus this week after not doing much of either last week.  Shirking my housekeeping duties last week let me take advantage of the return of the sewing mojo.  That shows up clearly in the progress with last week's to do list.  

May went fast!  It didn't help that at about the halfway mark my sewing mojo disappeared.  So not as much progress as I would have liked for the month. But there is still a bit to report for the May PHD report over at Ms. P Designs.

I don't have much to show for this week.  My goal was to reacquaint myself with counted cross stitching.  I made a mistake pretty quick on my relearning process and had to unpick a lot of stitches.  But eventually a bit of progress was made.

This is my second week of low sewing mojo.  Consequently, my to do list from last week is looking pretty anemic. 

To Do List for 05/20/2025

1.  2025 SAHRR: Finish binding ✔

2.  Glowing Hearts: Finish piecing blocks, start assembly ✔

3.  2025 Guild BOM: Cut fabrics for July blocks - progress

4.  Old Town: Work on blocks at late night sew - no progress

Now that I've typed out the list, it's not so bad.  Two check marks and progress on the #3 of 4 items really isn't a bad week. Even so, I'm going to try ...
