    Default Less Than 20 Days

    In 2013 I thought I would keep track of the days that I sewed. At the end of the year there were only 19 days that I hadn't sat at my machine or did hand stitching. It was fun marking off the days and I found it encouraged me to sew every day so that I could mark off the day. I'm doing it again this year. My DH just shakes his head when I tell him I am doing it again this year.

    Good idea. I sew most everyday. During the work week I only sew at night, come Saturday and Sunday I sew most of those days while doing chores.
    I was able to make 15 Quilts.

    My goal for this year is to sew every day, whether it be for just 15 minutes or for much longer. Marking a calendar would keep me honest. Thanks for the idea.

    I sew almost everyday. The only days I don't is, I'm gone or I'm sick. I don't go much so therefore I sew most every day♥ and I love it!

    I wish I could sew as much as you. I have no reason why I don't. I don't work away from my home. I think I'll put a calendar in my sewing room and mark it every day I go in there and work, even if it's just organizing my sewing room. Thanks for the creative idea. It'll get me into my sewing room more often! And I'll sew more and organize less, I'm sure of that.

    I love this idea! I have a wall calendar next to the ironing board in the sewing room, so will start marking my progress. Will help track how many UFOs I work on, too. Thanks for the idea.
