Stash Report and Stitching Time 10/12/2025

It has been a good week in the quilting room, with progress happening on multiple projects. I've continued to focus on my list of goals for the guild's UFO Challenge, and two more were completed and shared on the blog this week. Up first was the finished Around the Twist quilt. I used almost 2 yards for the backing and binding of this quilt.

My other UFO completion for the week was assembling the top of my Hearts Applique quilt. This project was started in 2021, and the fabric used to make blocks in 2021 and 2022 was reported during those years. The current fabric usage includes the last sets of blocks plus the border fabric, 1/2 yard used total.

Kate's 15 Minutes to Stitch Challenge at Life in Pieces has us tracking how many days each week we get in at least 15 minutes of quilting time. I looked through my list of projects from the past week and discovered that I had worked on 6 different ones, plus I did some cleaning up in the sewing room and wrote a newsletter for the quilt guild. No wonder I've been feeling so scattered. Maybe next week will be a little more focused.
