Stitching Stuff: Week 2 of 2026

 



We are more than a week into the new year.  I'm mostly back into my normal groove. I'm doing well with focusing on my goals. But we are only a week in, a year is a long time to keep yourself in line.  In fact, there's a another quilt along that's been posted I really want to play along with that's not on my new project list for 2026.  I'm trying to resist, but I did look to see if I have fabric in my stash for it.  I do.  Oh well, I'll just have to deliver on moving my quilt tops to finished.  

I did pretty well on getting into the sewing room and moving projects along. 


  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/Jan = 10/10 days
  • 15 minute days/2026 = 10/10 days
  • Success rate = 100%

So far, so good on keeping up with my stitching time. It will get harder as things get busy and vacations come up.  But it is motivating to get off to a good start for the year.  

My Girl sent me a new photo of Queenie (My Girl's kitty) this week. 



When My Girl was home for Christmas, I asked her if she wanted her tiger quilt for Queenie since that cat loves my quilts.  When My Girl was little, she adored tigers and had a large family of stuffed tigers in her room.  I made this quilt for her back in 2005, so it's over 20 years old.  It's been folded up in my closet for at least the last 15 years. Quilts up in a closet do no one any good, they should be used and enjoyed.  My Girl said Queenie really likes this one.  So it should see some good use in the future.  Queenie certainly looks good laying on it.    

Have you made a good start on your stitching goals for the year?

The photo of Queenie on her own quilt just made my day. :)
