How time flies! Didn’t I just take my blog offline to get it up to date for the GDPR (German: DSGVO). But actually my last blogpost was already more than a month old when I did that. Now another two and a half months have past. I managed to stay a bit more up to date on Instagram but even there I am „off routine“ and I really hope that I can finally get back to my #30minssewingdaily and more regular blogging.
So my first course of action in August is catching up. I desperately need to take stock and remember where I left each project.
Let’s start with the good things in my way too late version of: Progress Q2 and Proposed List of Finishes Q3
#patchworkforest Christmas Quilt
Of course there is no blog post because of the blogging hiatus but I added it to the gallery. If you missed the Instagram pictures you can catch up here

No. 11 – Four Patch Quilt
Somewhere in between I started a „new“ project. Well, let’s be correct and specify that it is new to this list.
Actually it is one of my oldest projects ever. In the beginning of my quilting adventures, I intended to sew an Indian Orange Peel by Karen Stone. Gasp…
Well, I finished the big four patches and maybe one peel. Years later I decided to change track to just keep the four patches and make a lovely quilt out of those. Well they were way to big so I cut them and sewed more four patches. Settled on a layout idea … and this is it’s current state.
I am still trying to keep to my „no starting something new“ rule though I am deeply tempted by at least two ideas. With two finishes last quarter and just one old-new addition, my list got shorter and the projects moved nicely ahead. I am happy with that. So I am staying optimistic and hopefull for this quarter. I will jump right in and finish a few :)
And then it should be ok to start something new, right?
Best wishes
