My goal set on January 2nd, was to get all 19 hexies sewn together to finish the Christmas table topper top . I did not accomplish that. After learning of my sisters death on January 8th , I lost my motivation. All the hexies are basted to their foundations. Rows 1, 2, 3 and 4 are complete.
Row 5 has piece 1 and 2 together, but the last hexie is still unattached. And now all rows need to be joined together. I find I can do one side of the hexie in about 20 minutes. Each side is 2 1/8” It sounds like that should go quickly but tiny tiny ladder stitches take me longer. And after an hour of ladder stitching, my left thumb is complaining, so I need a break. Then getting back to it proves difficult. I know I’m whining. I apologize!
Anyway you “spin it”, I failed at completing my January OMG. I will continue to work on it, and I’ll post as I make progress! I am linking up so you will know I did work on it but did NOT accomplish my goal.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Take care and do not be hard on yourself.
ReplyDeletethere is always next month to catch up - it is hard getting on track sometimes - we lose our motivation and have sadness to overcome - it is very understandable.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your loss. The link-up is a good motivator to get me working on things, but I don't always finish them either. I'm sure you'll finish eventually - your hexies are beautiful and Christmas is still many months away!
ReplyDeleteOh Judy, I was sad to read about your difficult January. I hope you are getting through ok. Quilting can wait.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your difficult month. I'm sure you'll be able to finish in February.
