Trip Around the World-Row 23

I am currently on Row 23 of my

Trip Around the World project

(thru Bridgit Giblin Facebook group)

 

We were suppose to finish Row 30

last week, but I am behind.

 

 

I am very much enjoying the

relaxed hand sewing process.

 

Friends ask how much larger I am

going to make it. I don't know.

I haven't put a deadline on this

project. It will be finished when

I feel like it is.

 

Also, sewing with 2 inch squares,

it will take a very long time to

create a very large quilt.

 

What is your Slow Sunday Stitching?

Finally...some changes in my numbers!

I have a knit retreat with my local knit

group coming up soon.

 

I made 13 fabric project bags,

so each knitter will have a small

gift to carry her current knit project.

 

Used this week: 13 yards

Purchased this week: 10 yards

 

Used for 2014: 30 yards

 

I am continuing to sew on my

Trip Around the World project

I was suppose to finish Row 30

this last week, but I am just

beginning Row 23.

 

 

Sewing 2 inch squares, this is going

to take a while. I am not sure how

much more I am going to sew. It

is very relaxing and I am enjoying

the process of hand sewing.

 

This weeks goals:

 

Start/sew a QOV

 

Cut Rows 25-30 for TAW

 

Sew 4 Christmas Presents

(Library book bags for grandkids)

 

 

What are you current projects?

Slow Sunday stitching

This is my first time posting as

part of the Slow Sunday stitch group.

 

Sunday is my day of rest,

so slow stitching fits the day!

 

I am part of a group project

on Facebook who are creating a

Trip Around the World quilt

completely stitched by hand.

 

 

 

I started the project back in early Summer

while I was recovering from surgery.

 

Technically, I am behind...I

am suppose to be finishing out

at about Row 30, but am at Row 20.

 

 

 

The fabric I am currently using is a

gift fabric from another member of

the project.

 

We are also all using a red dot fabric

throughout the quilt.

Back in the swing of blogging

One of my goals for this next year period

is to blog more often, so I

think a stash report is the perfect

way to do it.

 

This week in: 2 yards

 

This week used: 1 yard

 

New total: back to 27 yards used.

 

I also want to start posting my sewing goals

for the upcoming week. I have seen

others do this, and it seems to keep

them motivated and accountable.

1.Sew each day during (September) National

Sewing Month.

 

2,Sew 1 knit project bag (pink with brown bottom)

 

3. Cut out 5 more knit project bags.
