15 Minute Challenge

This week I have probably done hours a day instead of just 15 minutes.  I have been doing 2 hours minimum most nights.  I love doing satin stitch but it is really labour intensive.  There was also the day of sewing with Nicole, and I finished the bag on Monday night so add another hour or so there.  So this weeks challenge was smashed out of the ball park.  As I have set a pretty steep deadline for this next project I will probably be smashing the challenge for a few weeks to come.

The week went something like this:

Tuesday: stitching
Wednesday: stitching
Thursday: stitching and playing with EQ to get design nutted out (still need to play some more probably with real fabric)
Friday: stitching, cutting out bag for class on Sunday
Saturday: stitching
Monday: bag finished, stitching
Tuesday: stitching

And now for some pictures:












Here is my 2nd project for Xmas in July.

Head on over to Kate's to see who else has met the challenge this week.

Sorry I missed this post last week, I wasn't home much. Love your stitchery projects and the bag. You had a great week, but I'd bet your fingers were a tad sore.
