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 ...

To Do List for the Week of 3/3/2026 from Life In Pieces

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.

To Do List for 2/24/2026

1. Kate's Choice: Work on borders ✔

2. SAHRR: Start 6th prompt ✔

3. Scenic Waypoint: Assemble blocks - progress ...

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 ...

Stay at home round robin next row, two colors from Not Afraid of Color

it's too much this year, adding in a row each week is frantic to me....

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...

I couldn't kick into design work this week. Then tonight,

In my rush to make something, and exhausted, I decided ...

2026 SAHRR: Two Colors from Life In Pieces

Gail, of Quilting Gail, took pity on us after a week of curved piecing, we just need two colors and any block for the Week #5 prompt. That's easy enough, you just have to pick the block. I'm trying to keep some consistency between the two rows of blocks in my version. Looking at what was already up on the design wall, a block with no background in it seemed the best option to go with either of the two end blocks on the front row. After quick look in Electric Quilt, I finally decided on a simple ...

Dragonflies and waterlilies happy V-day from Not Afraid of Color

My posting schedule is kind of sporadic now that I have 3 deadlines to make and post my work.

Today I am sharing this week's work for the stay at home round robin, the prompt is "curves" and I needed to make the prompt fit in my scene

this week I joined the hourglass blocks, love how they blend and look, thank you to the challenge organizers. Then I worked on this week's curves.... decided to use this fabric

I used some misty fuse on a fussy cut strip, then cut out petal shapes and arranged them into ...

Hard to believe that February is already more than half over. I need to get busy on a few projects if I'm going to stay on track with my goals for the year. My weekly to do list helps to keep me on track, most weeks anyway. I didn't do too badly last week.

2026 SAHRR: Curves from Life In Pieces

I struggled with this week's SAHRR prompt. Wendy at Pieceful Thoughts set "curves" as our focus for this week. Even though I've sewn curved seams back when making clothes was my main sewing room activity, it's been ages. Searching through the blocks in Electric Quilt, I finally settled on a Dresden Plate block.

I've made a Dresden Plate block before in one or two other quilt alongs. But I've never made one without a pattern. After searching through my specialty rulers, I found two wedge rulers. Instructions for the 18 degree one were in my ...

To Do List for the Week of 2/10/2026 from Life In Pieces

I didn't make it to the computer yesterday, so my to do list didn't get posted. We've had a lot going on at our household. My Guy was involuntarily retired last week as part of company cost cutting efforts. So my schedule is just a bit messed up as we've had to deal with getting a few things figured out and set up. Thankfully, I've still had time to get some sanity time in my sewing room and get a bit done on last week's to do list.

Dragonflies next SAHRR row from Not Afraid of Color

I worked on the prompt for stay at home round robin (animals or live things) row this week

(first, the dragonfly doll was made last year for PQ challenge, she guards my design wall)

My piece for SAHRR this year is one of dragonflies, they have eyes, so I continued in my theme.

my first thought, because I am having trouble with my bodily pain this week, was to cut a row from a print with dragonflies/frogs/and turtles. I started by sewing together the hourglass blocks from another prompt, having to commit to placement.

hmmm not sure,
