Stitching Stuff: Week 48 of 2024

 



How was your Thanksgiving?  We had a wonderful time with Grad Girl and her roommate.  Our Thanksgiving dinner is always a little different, My Guy can't eat ham and Grad Girl is not a fan of turkey. So an alternate choice of protein is required.  This year My Guy made brisket quesadillas in homemade flour tortillas, with either brie or cheddar cheese and barbeque sauce or peach salsa.  They were wonderful.  The rest of dinner was pretty conventional. We were all pretty stuffed even without the turkey.  

Even with all the holiday cooking and cleaning up (that was mostly my gig during the holiday), I still managed to get in my stitching time this week.  


  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/Nov = 30/30 days
  • 15 minute days/2024 = 335/335 days
  • Success rate = 100%  


I'm still finding it hard to believe that I've done something stitching related everyday for the first 11 months of the year.  Just one month left.  Can I keep it up for the whole year?  I most definitely have to make the effort to finish at 100%.  

With all the family stuff this week, there wasn't any fabric pressing or reorganizing. Hopefully I'll get some of that done this next week. 

Did you get much done on the stitching front this week?

Your quesidillas sound delicious! We have had a lot of turkey this week so I am ready for a different flavor! I have had family stuff this week, too, so not much sewing, but ready to get back to it this afternoon. Have a great Sunday, Kate!

I usually make turkey but next time if we are by ourselves like we were this year I'm not going to bother - it's too much - I think I do more out of tradition then actually liking it!!

Brisket quesadillas sound amazing for Thanksgiving! We had a full table of 16-22 year olds who ate and ate and left very few leftovers :)

Bonnie said...

OMG! You've kept your 15 minutes a day even on Turkey day! I succumbed to skipping it. Surprisingly, it didn't change the percentage of days stitched. Have a great week.

Your 15 Minutes streak continues! It would be so great if you can keep it going until the end of the year, just one month left!

Congrats on keeping that 100% Kate. Your Thanksgiving sound like a wonderful one and I’m still drooling over your dinner menu. 😉
