May 2024 PHD Report from Life In Pieces

May went fast. Didn't I just write the April PHD report?  At any rate it's time to link up with P Designs USA for the May PHD report. There's been no change in my PHD report. 




On the downside that means no finishes, but on the up side there's been no new starts either.  Maintaing the status quo is the second best outcome you can have.  There has been progress this last month, with the promise of a finish next month.  

One project moved to finished quilt top in April, so that opened a spot on ...

Blocks and a Backing from Life In Pieces

It was a low key weekend, most of which I spent in the sewing room.  Not all of it at the sewing machine.  There was a fair amount of scrap sorting and fabric pressing. There was also a quick clean up of the desk and sewing area.  Most of the progress at the sewing machine was making a some blocks for Kate's Choice. 




My plan is to all some more of the lighter blocks to the collection to balance out the dark green and deep purples.  

The fabric for the 2024 SAHRR backing was cut and the panels all ...

To Do List for the Week of 5/28/2024 from Life In Pieces

Hard to believe there are only a few more days left in May. In another month, we'll be half way through the year. Looking at where I'm at with my goals, I'm pretty happy with most everything except for finishes.  So I'm going to gear up on that front for a bit and see if I can make something happen there.  There were things on last week's to do list that helped with the finishing goals.

The Design Wall and the Cutting Table from Life In Pieces

Wishing those in the United States a very happy Memorial Day.  We didn't make any special plans for the weekend, which is probably for the best as the weather here and in the surrounding states hasn't resulted in the best holiday for many. The worst storms in Oklahoma stayed south of us, all we got was some very heavy rain.  But we were tuned into the local weather coverage for quite a while Saturday night, way past our normal bedtime.  

There's been a bit of progress on the Kate's (Grandmother's) Choice blocks.



Three blocks have ...
