PHD in 2024 from Life In Pieces

This will be my 6th attempt to achieve a PHD in quilting projects. I've yet to manage that. I doubt it happens this year either, but I won't know unless I try. There are new hostesses for the PHD in 2024, Sharon Anderson and Susan Hatcher of Ms. P Designs USA. Here's my list of this year's UFOs for the PHD in 2024.

My strategy this year is to work on a new quilt or a quilt that needs the blocks assembled plus a quilt top to be finished or a quilt top to be assembled ...

Best of Life in Piece's for 2023 from Life In Pieces

This year has been one of transition. I retired late in 2022, so 2023 was the first year since I was 16 without a work schedule. At least a work schedule outside the house.

July Wrap Up: PHD in 2023 from Life In Pieces

On the one hand, I'm really ready for some cooler weather and August gets us closer to that. On the other hand, August is the 8th month, so we'll be three quarters through the year at the end of it. That I'm not ready for. I've been participating in Quilting Gail's PHD in 2023 program again this year. There has been some good progress on my UFOs, but as yet there still aren't any finishes for 2023, so my chart is unchanged from June.

On the positive side of things, at least there have ...

Just 2 Charm Pack Quilts Blog Hop: String lights from Life In Pieces

If you've followed, or even just checked in occasionally with my blog over the years, there is a good chance you've seen one of Cheryl Brickey's (Meadow Mist Designs) mystery quilt along projects in progress. It's one of the projects I look forward to each year. So when Cheryl asked if anyone was willing to make a quilt from her new book Just 2 Charm Pack Quilts, I really wanted to participate.

The first decision was choosing which quilt to make. There are some really fun quilts in this book. I'm not the quickest at ...
