Under the Pressure Foot 2020 - 6

It's the first weekend of the month, which means it is our Project Uninterrupted Sessions were on in the shop. Plus we had a Zoom session within our Project Uninterrupted Facebook group. Member that don't live close enough to join us in person have the chance to meet, sew and chat with the group members that they may interact in the group but have not met in person. Next year all the Project Uninterrupted sessions will be moving to the first weekend of the month. This is to make it easier for me to keep track of the Sunday sessions. I have had some trouble keeping track of when the Sunday sessions were on this year.

The Zoom sessions also allow me to join in and sew with the group, which I can't always do in the store sessions as some sessions are full regularly. Plus under the Covid -19 restrictions numbers have had to be reduced numbers to allow for social distancing. 

No sewing for me Friday or Saturday so Saturday night I set myself up for an evening of sewing on Zoom with the group and a bonus this weekend no workshop on Sunday. That means I can left my sewing stuff out and do some sewing on Sunday after I finish the orders and inbetween the customer,

I have eight more of these blocks to make, plus they are cut ready to sew made they the perfect options for our Zoom session,

I completed this block and got halfway through a second block in the session, which has ended up finished.

One Monthly Goal- December's Goal

Last month of the year, it could be a tricky month. Will I have time to do much sewing or will everything use up my time keeping me away from the sewing machine,

This month I have looked back on my project list I review at the back in January. I want this month project to be one that has been hanging around a while and I want to see some progress on it.

Shuffling through the crate of unfinished projects I couldn't find the one I was looking for. Where is it? or Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. No matter. I have pick something else out instead.

My American Honey blocks. 12 blocks are completed. 

Still a few more to go looking in the box. At least they are all cut out ready to sew.

To finish all my  remaining blocks is the goal for December.

I have link my post with Elm Street Quilts Post, so pop over there and check out what everyone is work on this month.

Until Next Time
