Sunday Stash and Stitching 8/9/2026

It was a fairly typical week in my sewing room, with progress being made on multiple different projects. That included adding the binding to a guild community service quilt, making the pieced sections for the April and May blocks of my 2026 Temperature Quilt, and trying to figure out a plan for a challenge quilt.

The only change to my stash numbers was thanks to the completion of my recent placemats project. I finished off three sets of placemats, most of them made from orphan blocks and other leftovers from older quilts, using 3.625 yards from the stash.

This last set of placemats was made from a panel and additional fabric from our guild's community service stash. It didn't change my stash totals at all, but they did get finished this week along with the rest. All of the placemats will be donated to Meals on Wheels.

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. As stated at the top of the post, I've been working on several different projects, and I definitely spent more than 15 minutes quilting every day this week.
