Stash Report and Stitching Time 11/9/2025

The placemat production line continued for another week, with three made from a sunflower border-stripe print. I might still have enough of this fabric to make three more of these.

The fabric on the back is a strange shade of yellow that I've had a hard time using before, but it seemed like the perfect match for those sunflowers.

The sunflower placemats used 1.25 yards from the stash, and no new fabric was added this week. I'm chipping away at getting my numbers back to even, but it seems unlikely that I will reach my annual goal of using at least 100 yards for the year.

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. Besides the sunflower placemats, I've been working on a set from a daisy border-stripe fabric. I also made two months worth of blocks for my Temperature Quilt and finished a couple of blocks for my Jane Stickle sampler. That all definitely added up to more than 15 minutes per day.
