Love quilts

I haven't done an awful lot of me stitching over the last couple of years.

2014 saw me obsessed with stitching for Love Quilts. I completed 50 squares for them over the course of the year. Some were more involved than others and they were a mix of nominated child squares and Any Child ones, most of which have now been used on quilts.

I started off the year thinking that I would send in at least one square a month, I was doing more though and at some point in the year my internal goal became 4 a month, when I got to October and saw how many that I had done I saw that it was possible to get to 50 for the year, and felt I had to make that my challenge.

I was feeling unfulfilled in my job and it seemed to give me a purpose and focus in addition to being a mum and wife. The pleasure of doing something I enjoy that would be appreciated by others. I found time to sew before work, and at lunchtimes, so even if Squirmy and Posy didn't give me time to stitch at home I managed to get at least an hour done while out of the house.

I haven't done half as much over the last year, I'm happier in my new job, but am still sewing for them on a more random basis. I have sent my most recent 4 sign up squares so this brings my current tally up to 132 squares submitted since I started sewing for them in 2011.
