First 15 minutes to Stitch post of the year - half way through

This past week I finished some hand applique'.  I always prep it in advance and keep it in a bag for whenever I find a moment to work on it.  One double dresdon block and one more Vesta block have been appliqued this week.  

My Rainbow Connection blocks are also coming together nicely.  Purple needs one more block and green and orange each need four more blocks.  I will post photos of those rows soon.

In May I finished this top.  My quilter is out for awhile, so it will hang in the closet until she is ready to roll again.

While I have been keeping track of my 15 minutes of sewing a day, I don't believe I have posted any of it this year.  2026 hit hard with dad going into the hospital the first couple of days in January and then losing him in less than a week.  I was also physically sick from Christmas 2025 through most of February.  I decided posting about my stitching again would get me back on track and bring me more joy.  School is out, stress is gone, life is good again.  

Year:  68% 88 days out of 129 (Sundays excluded)

May: 100% 26 days out of 26

Week:  100%  6 days out of 6

Here is my paper record I have been keeping.
