Happy Mother's Day to everyone. My Guy made my favorite chocolate scones this morning, so I got a great start to my Mother's Day. My plan for the day is to catch up on the email and blog reading, then sew for the rest of the day. Before I get to that though, it's time to look at how last week went on the stitching and de-stashing front.
Finding time to stitch was a challenge this week. We moved the Scientist in Training out of the dorm, then she and I had a short girls weekend with my mother, sister and niece. We had a great time, but it left me scrambling to fit in a few minutes of stitching each day.
Days with stitching time this week: 7 out of 7 days
Days with stitching time this month: 12 out of 12 days
Day with stitching time this year: 124 out of 132 days
Success rate: 93.94%
The goal is to find time to stitch more than 90% of the time. So far so good for 2018.
The stash report is going OK as well. My sister and I did make one quilt shop run during our girls weekend. I limited myself to just a few fat quarters and a few patterns.
I really like the Cottage Blossoms mini, Rainy Monday is a candidate for a quilt for my bed. But I have to get My Guy's approval for that. Here's the damage:
Fabric used this week: 0.49 y
Fabric used in 2018: 23.00 y
Fabric added in 2018: 7.25 y
Net fabric out for 2018: 15.75 y
I allowed myself 5 yards a quarter for 2018, so I'm still on track with my stash busting goals for the year.

You're doing a great job with your sewing and fabric goals for the year. I think the rainy Monday pattern would be a beautiful bed quilt. I'm sure Your Guy will agree.
