What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I haven't posted a list for about a month now and there has been hardly no sewing in the same time. I am hoping that I will finally get back into the groove and that having a list might help. My stress levels seem to be quite high with everything going on, so who knows, maybe I'll get some time to relax with some fabric....

 Well, let's hope this month I do get 1) some sewing time 2) some energy to create something... but I am really not sure about either considering a third of the month has gone before I even post my list!

Quilting

1. Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along - February, April, May and June blocks needed - hoping to catch up and continue

3. Modern City Scape - hoping to catch up and continue with this quilt along 

4. Birthday blocks - hoping to catch up and continue with this quilt along

We had a bank holiday and time off last week but in the end I didn't have much time to sew sadly.... On my list last week I had quite a lot in anticipation of having more time than usual too but that didn't quite work out. Although one thing I did was to tidy up my sewing area, which took quite some time I am ashamed to admit.

 May will have its flurry of bank holidays qnd maybe (hopefully) we will see the sun again soon... I don't know whether this will help find more sewing time or on the contrary will eat up into it? Regardless I hope to have more time doing more of what I like rather than continuing to cram too much in my head and trying to juggle so many balls at once...

 I can't quite believe that the first quarter of the year is over and this is not even an April's fool... I hope that with lighter evenings there might be more time and energy to sew but equally I thinnk the month will be rather busy with lots of activities, a week long business trip etc so I am not sure how much time I'll manage to steal in the end...

Another week when my head has been very very full with everything going on... more questions than answers at the moment really but hopefully we are moving in the right direction, future will tell, I hope it will be very soon... I managed to steal some very small amount of time to sew, not much to show for it though.

 I didn't manage to sew as much in February and I am already falling behind in some of my quilt-along but let's try to catch up and keep going...

Quilting

1. Dear Jane - hoping to finish row E... all the blocks are cut now.

 A very very busy week again but I have at least stollen a few moments to sew... when I had some energy for it. We also had a group of girls for a sleepover for my youngest's birthday party while my eldest travelled abroad by himself for the week-end for the first time. So let's say there was not much space in my head for much else...

Let's look at the list I had written last week...

 The last week has been a real rollercoaster for our family, which partly explained why I am so late posting for this week and also why I hardly achieved anything from my last list... Motivation has been pretty low and time has run away from me. At least I have forced myself to exercice more again to help empty my head... 

Let's look at the list I had written last week...

 Time flies, whether we're having fun or not. I can't quite believe that January is over already! I'm happy that I have managed to spend some sewing time throughout the month, much more than I anticipated actually. 

Let's look at the list I had written last week...

1. Make block 3 for the Modern City Scape - done and blogged

2. Sew the internal pockets and the body lining pieces of my Forester coat  - done

3. Sew the next Birthday block - done

  I failed miserably on my December list since I didn't touch anything at all... Maybe the start of a new year will finally give me some energy and motivation to pick up a project and do something with it...

 Another week gone by... there is some work done on our kitchen this week (getting part of the walls down to remove the tiles and changing the worktop and splash backs) so we had to empty all the cabinets at the week-end, not the most fun activity, which in turn has taken quite some time away from my sewing machine!

Looking at last week's list, I progressed on a few projects:

1. Make the first 3 blocks for the Modern City Scape - first 2 completed and blogged

2. Sew the front lining pieces of my Forester coat with the ...

Wow I can't believe it's been a week already! We've had a different one this week with much more snow that we usually get and very cold temperatures which means the snow has kept for 4 days and the kids were off school from last Wednesday until this Monday. Quieter weekend too as a result, which was nice after all. I have progressed a bit in some of projects too
