15 Minutes to Stitch ~ 1/22/2023 ~ Before and After

 

One of my "plans" for 2023 is to spend 15 minutes a day stitching.  That might entail sewing, quilting, crocheting anything else I might come up with.  I'll be joining in with Kate @ Life in Pieces.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't get 15 minutes stitching time every day this week, but I did put in longer stitching time on both Monday and Wednesday.

I was working on sewing Friendship Swap quilt block.  Here are the before and afters of what I got accomplished.

I also received one of my completed swap blocks back. I sent the pink fabric along with a pattern from www.quilterscache.com called Pennsylvania.  I am so happy with this block I received.  I can't wait to get more!

What are you stitching this week?

Boomerang Friendship Swap

I am participating in a "Boomerang Friendship Swap".

36 of us from http://www.quiltingboard.com/ will be sending each other a "fat eighth" of whatever fabric we choose. When we receive each other's fabrics, we will then make that person 1 quilt block containing their fabric and coordinating fabrics from our stash. Then the block gets sent back home. Like a boomerang.

Here are my F8's wrapped and ready to go. I sent them out yesterday and have already received someone else's .

This swap is so very exciting! Stay tuned. I plan on posting each block as I make them and my blocks when I receive them back.

Kaylee's Swap Quilt

Here's Kaylee holding the Doll quilt that her swap partner made for her. She can't wait for the next swap and keeps asking me if a new one has started yet. She loves it!
