Stitching Stuff: Week 5 of 2026



It's definitely been on the cold side this week. Which means those to the north of us are really in the deep freeze.  Thankfully we'll get a bit of a warm up early next week.  Still, my wool coat is definitely going to spend some time out of the closet this weekend.  

The cold weather this month has been very conductive to lots of sewing room time. 


  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/Jan = 31/31 days
  • 15 minute days/2026 = 31/31 days
  • Success rate = 100%

The first month of the year ends with 100% success rate.  I'm not planning to maintain that 100%, but it's always fun to see how long it lasts.  

Have you been using your sewing room to escape the recent deep freeze?

Excellent start to the month, your numbers are perfect! Even though it's a great excuse to sew, I hope the bad weather will soon be over. Hugs

You did great with your time for January! My uniform has been my roomy but cozy OU hoodie and some warm sweatpants. My sewing room is a little chilly but that's OK, it keeps me active!

We went from negative 10 on Monday morning to 60s yesterday - so crazy! Congratulations on getting 100% in your sewing room in January. I've been doing pretty good on that front, too - I am caught up with everything, at least, which is a good feeling!

Way to go with your January stats! It has been positively frigid in central Indiana - warmed up to 22 today and almost felt warm. We get up to 30 by the middle of this week.

Great job on your stitching stats Kate. I’m sorry it’s still cold there. It’s been raining here and if it keeps people will be golfing 2 months early! At least we are getting moisture in some form, but it been so gray, foggy and gloomy. Good days to be at the machine, head down 😉

After the deep freeze it's been warmer this week in Kansas.
