I’m a coffee addict on the road to recovery…just kidding, I’m on the road to the coffee shop…or my kitchen! LOL ☕️😜

Happy Monday morning!!! Welcome to Monday Musings! We have had some COLD weather this week, with a few nice days in the high 50s low 60s!! Still, in my mind and according to my body, anything below 50 degrees is cold! LOL If it’s cold where you are…y’all stay warm and toasty and keep on stitching! Now let’s move on to the good stuff!!
Here’s how my story ended for the week of 1/12 – 1/18/26:
- Finish hand-binding quilt #3 and send them to California for a photo shoot. DONE!! All three are in Cali as we speak getting ready for their glamour shots! LOL
- SAHRR center block. DONE!!

- Guild meeting Monday. NOPE!! I woke up with some tummy issues and opted to stay home. I hate I missed it as we had a Zoom guest speaker that I would have enjoyed hearing.
- Sew with Friends on Wednesday. DONE!! No sewing as I still haven’t check out my little machine, but I started working on my plastic canvas stitchery from Herrschner’s.

- Start working on Sunshine Cove Block 12. NOPE!! I am ready to begin that this week, hopefully. I have to re-watch Sarah’s videos and re-read my notes to see how to get it started. I am excited to be working on it on my Big Mama Nina B990!
- Whatever cranks my tractor! DONE!! I gathered some blue fabrics for my RSC challenge and designed a block I want to use so I am ready to work on that this week so I can post it. I also worked on my next prompt for the SAHRR. Come back Wednesday to see my prompt!
Plans for the week of 1/19/25 – 1/25/26:
- Post Prompt for Round 1 of SAHRR on Wednesday, the 21st.
- RSC block(s) – January is blue!
- Review and re-read videos and instructions for Sunshine Cove Block 12.
- Work on Round 2 of SAHRR.
- Sew Day with Friends Wednesday.
- Whatever suits my fancy.
