Non-Sewing/Embroidery Goal January 2022 Update

In this post, I stated a goal that I want to achieve this year; a goal that has nothing to do with sewing or embroidery.

I shared that I intend to organize hundreds of Hawaii vacation photos from 2016 and make a memory photo book.

Progress is slow; I sort through a few at a time, and they need editing. It is okay to be slow…I am moving the project forward.

In the comments, some of you also said that you had non-sewing/embroidery goals.

Are you moving forward with your goals; even if it is slow?

Tell me your progress in the comment section. I really do enjoy hearing from you!

Carry On!

Hello Luv Update

I am making Pat Sloan’s Hello Luv pattern as a table topper for my dining table. I have the blocks sewn together and I am deciding whether or not I’d like to add a border.

I had lots of bonus HST’s and I pieced them into pinwheel blocks.

Since I have two accent tables in the living room, I decided to make placemats for them.

I used a washable marker to mark a simple grid for quilting the placemats.

I used a light pink thread; it blends in well.

I’m happy with how these turned out!

I have spent considerable time immersed in genealogy the past couple of weeks.

I need to come up for air!

Now seems like a great time to make Pat Sloan’s pattern “Hello Luv”.
