In spite of the end of the week drama, I did manage to get in some stitching time every day this last week.
15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
15 minute days/August = 29/31 days
15 minute days/2019 = 215/243
Success rate = 88.48%
I've been hovering right around 88% for most of the summer. My goal for the year is 90%, so I'm going to need to work on my consistency.
The stash end of things hasn't gone to plan either. I won a gift certificate from The Fat Quarter Shop from the 2019 Finish Along back in April and decided it was about time to use it. I've noticed that I'm really, really deficient in teals, so I added a fat quarter stack of that color.
Then also added a fat quarter bundle of Butterfly Blooms (Lunn Studios for Robert Kaufman Fabrics)
No plans for this stack as yet. The teals are going to be used for my Wild and Goosey project.
Unfortunately there's not nearly as much going out as there has been coming in.
Fabric out this week = 0.09 yards
Fabric out for 2019 = 35.98
More fabric in than out
The sewing room time this week was spent getting Vintage Dresses ready for quilting. Which means there wasn't much time spent actually stitching seams. I'm hoping to do much better on the stash busting front in September.
Did you manage to fit in 15 minutes of stitching time each day?

I can't wait to see your Vintage Dresses done. I loved watching it come together! I seem to be buying more right now too. Not exactly sure why, but....I just need to make something from all of it.
The teals are fun and the other bundle very pretty. Sometimes you have to add new fabrics to shake things up.
Gosh, it's been a rough start to the school year for your daughter - hope all is looking up as she heads into September and the fall. Love your fabric additions!
Ooh! great additions to your stash. I was sadly lacking in the turquoise and all its variants department a couple of years ago, and have very nicely remedied that!! You remind me that I, too, have a GC from Mad About Patchwork from the FAL that I haven't used! Need to remedy THAT I think! Happy Labour Day weekend to you; enjoying ours here in Canada too. :-)
Your poor daughter having to deal with the car and an illness without her parents nearby. It is a good thing we have modern communication so you could still help from afar.
Poor SIT can't take a trick can she. Hopefully that's an end to her trips to urgent care. My stash is short on orange/yellow and purples but I don't really think I need to purchase anything anytime soon but I will live with it. Glad you got some time stitch this weekend.
I hope life settles down for you and the SIT soon!
Beautiful new fabrics! They will be wonderful additions to your stash.
It just hasn't been SIT's month has it! Hope September is kinder to her.
