I am going to commit to this as well! Life has hit me hard and I have let my quilting slide off of my priority list and I am trying so hard to get it back because it is my sanity!

Welcome aboard! <g>
It is amazing what we can accomplish if we quit looking at the BIG picture and work on one bit of it at a time.
You will see! <wave>

I spent 15 minutes about 8 times last night! But, I was just 'straightening' things up as they were a mess. I haven't done much since my auto accident in August and I'm way behind! Had an MRI today, hopefully it won't be anything more serious than pulled muscles and ligaments!

I can actually find the various presser feet I had just tossed in the drawer and located FIVE seam rippers ... I wondered where those went and found THREE sets of marking pencils! My cutting table is now ready to go, I have one handbag cut out and am ready to start sewing tonight! It feels GOOD!!

Just one thing though, all those tutes I've been printing out? They are all piled up in a mess on the 'other' side of the sewing room. I figure I can organize those while I watch TV.

I've been complaining about having no time to quilt, so let's see if 15 minutes/day makes a difference. I'm in!

I am definitely IN! I have been so busy with everything else, that quilting has fallen through the cracks. But no more - I need my sanity back, and since quilting is the quickest way to achieve that, 15 minutes is not too much to ask.

I did my 15 minutes of quilting yesterday and today. I'm already falling behind on my 15 minutes of organizing. Good thing it's only a little after one o'clock here.

I need to squeeze in a fleece blanket everyday for a while or it'll be Dec 24th and I'll be in world of hurt. Plus at least four aprons.

What a great suggestion. I am a newby and I am slow at this hobby, but I can sew several strips together in 15 minutes. Thank you, thank you for this suggestion!

Hey we're talking about it warming up to the 20's. It's all perspective. Hope all your tests come out okay.

I've been putting in my 15 minutes. It's all been getting things put back in my sewing room and not sewing, but hopefully soon will be back at it. It's driving me crazy.

You are 15 minutes closer to your goal than you were at the beginning of the day. GOOD WORK! <wave>
