Catching up in the Sewing Room from Life In Pieces

We've been home a little over a week from our vacation. I can claim that laundry is all caught up. Still a few chores to do before I'm caught up there. Catching up in the sewing room has been a bit harder. My biggest focus has been on getting the Guild BOM block done for May. There has been good progress on that front, it should get finished today.

The other focus has been trying to move projects from first quarter to finished quilt tops. The final borders finally made it on to the 2026 SAHRR (Quilting Gail ...

2026 Quilt Making Strategies: Second Quarter Plan from Life In Pieces

After reviewing my first quarter progress, my second quarter overall strategy won't need to change. But I will need to adjust the project list for the quarter since there is a lot that didn't get finished in first quarter.

1. Guild BOM: The focus for April is to get the blocks for May, June and July finished. I should probably also finish off the flying geese needed for the borders. Before the end of the quarter, blocks for August, September and October need to have the instructions written and the blocks made. November will be an easy block ...

To Do List for the Week of 4/14/2026 from Life In Pieces

This is my first to do list for April. My last to do list was back at the end of March, just before we left for vacation. With vacation prep, I just didn't have time to get to much that was on the list before we left, but I did make some progress after we got home.

To Do List for 3/24/26

1. SAHRR: Finish quilt top - progress

2. Magnificent Mystery: Finish blocks, start quilt assembly - progress

3. Chilhowie: Piece backing, start quilt prep- no progress

First Quarter Review: 2026 Quilt Making Progress from Life In Pieces

Back in January I posted my quilt making strategies for 2026. My goal for 2026 is to move projects to finished quilts or as close as I can get to finished for as many projects as possible. I've learned over the years it's a good idea to review where you are at with your goals a few times during the year. It's easy to forget at the end of the year what you decided at the first of the year if you don't. The end of first quarter seemed like a good time to see if ...

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 ...

SAHRR finish !!! DRAGONFLIES ON THE POND from Not Afraid of Color

"Dragonflies on the pond" 42" X 42"

I had to make a big push to get this finished for the parade of SAHRR quilts at

Kathleenmcmusing parade of quilts

just last week it was in three sections ready to quilt that way, and just getting to that point was a big task for me... all the decisions and final design choices, making it all come together after months of following prompts....

It was in three sections to make quilting on my small machine doable... sky section, Dragonfly section was largest at 30" by 42" , and waterlillies along the bottom

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 ...

Hard to believe we've already started on the third month of 2026. We'll be one quarter through the year by the end of the month. Not to scare anyone, but wow, it's been going by fast. February was a pretty good month, I didn't check all the items off my to do lists each week, but I got close. The last week of the month was consistent with the previous 3.

2026 SAHRR: Quilter's Choice from Life In Pieces

The sixth and last prompt for the 2026 SAHRR comes from AnjaQuilts, "quilters choice". Well that leaves it pretty wide open doesn't it? I've had some of my block books out searching for blocks for next year's guild BOM (Yes I start early. It takes me a while to decide on a final design and pull the fabrics). I wanted something that worked with the previous blocks and carried similar elements to the Snail's Trail block from week 3.

Dutchman's Puzzle seemed to be the best option. (Texas Quilt Gal decided the same for her ...

still creating with color! Distracted but still stitching from Not Afraid of Color

I've been spending my creative time sewing on two projects this week...

The first is my hexie spiral in green scraps... and this year I'm trying to do blocks based on holidays or seasons,

This time I am trying to make a St. Patrick's Day theme... I couldn't find one print I know I have, but did find two clover prints. and there is gold on one spiral fabric for the pot of gold, and a worm dressed up on clovers and some clovers blowing in the wind!

I quite like this one, it's so ...

we brought this lovely boy into our home on Sunday... a one and a half year old standard rescue....

today he was perfect, he's been here 8 days and perfect.

This evening I ran up to make a block for the SAHRR... I had wanted ,and pulled fabric, to make two color 4 patches. One would go above, one below the center...
