The Best of 2019 at Life In Pieces from Life In Pieces

As 2019 winds down, I start to look back at the year. Cheryl over at Meadow Mist Designs encourages a review of the year's blog posts in her 5th "Best of" linky party.

So here is my Best of 2019 Life in Pieces posts.

1. Most Views (615): November One Monthly Goal - Bordering Twinkle Stars.

Twinkle Stars

Tutorial by Andrea Feldbush of Soscrappy

I'm still working to get the borders on this quilt, but I keep getting side tracked with new projects. Twinkle Stars started as a Rainbow Scrap challenge project. Hopefully it will make it all the ...

Finally A Finish! from Life In Pieces

It's been a nice long weekend. I have some vacation that has to be used or I give it back, so I was able to take last Friday off. It's been nice to get some extra time in the sewing room for a change. I used my time wisely, Vintage Dresses is finally finished.

To Do Tuesday - Moving Along from Life In Pieces

Last week was my first go at "To Do Tuesday", the weekly to do list linky party hosted by Home Sewn By Us. Focusing on fewer projects did make a difference in moving those projects further along the road to finished. Even so, I didn't finish the whole list.

1. Vintage Dresses - bind
2. Mosaic Mystery - finish clue 2✔
3. 2019 Christmas Mystery - finish clue 3
4. Twinkle Stars - finish sewing rows together✔

Only two check marks, but that's better than none, so I'll take that. Actually there was good ...

To Do Tuesday - Giving it a Go from Life In Pieces

With the end of the year looming, I'm hoping to move a few more projects to finished. I finally realized this weekend that I've got way too many projects in the works at the sewing machine. That means I'm making a little progress on a lot, but not enough to move projects to the finish line. It's time to pare back the number of projects in progress and set some weekly priorities.

I'm going to try something new with the priority setting. Rosanne and Sue, who blog over at Home Sewn By Us, have long ...

October Already? from Life In Pieces

We are already five days into the tenth month of the year, the start of the fourth quarter of 2019. It's the wind down part of the year. Except if you quilt. Then it's either "what can I finish by the end of the year" or "what Christmas presents do I have left to finish" time of the year. So keeping that in mind, I've been contemplating what the October One Monthly Goal is going to be.

I try to avoid Christmas gift sewing as it's just stress and pressure I don't need. However at ...
