Hello do'ers and welcome to my weekly check-in with
the Tuesday To Do party hosted by Quilt Schmilt.
Last Tuesday I switched things up a bit and laid out
my plans for the rest of the year but today I'm back
to sharing a weekly to-do list.
* * * Week 28 Priority * * *
Photograph and list Radiant Fall
2) Quilt Crisp Fall Day; finish, take pics and list
Mostly Done.
Quilted, bound and labeled.
3) Cut out next project: Cross & Crown by Sandra Clemons
I was ready to start cutting but it suddenly hit me that my
background wasn't quite right. The stash was no help so
I set it all aside until something else showed up...
which took about 24 hours. It's already arrived but
while I was waiting, I started something else.
More on that in a bit.
4) Work through some online classes. DONE
I thought this was totally worth it and
I can't wait to try out some of the things I learned.
5) Finish that mid-year list
DONE. Posted last week.
Now, you'd think that after making that big ol' list
that when I set Cross & Crown aside, I'd just pick the
next thing in line or even from anywhere on the list.
Nope.
I had just stumbled across a pattern I'd forgotten about.
And then I saw a FQ set that I'd been wanting to play with.
I figure no further explanation is needed
considering the company I am among, right?
Enter "Poolside". But in way different colors.
And that will kick off my list for next week.
* * * Week 30 Priority * * *
Piece "Poolside" by Flemings 9.
Leave it to me to take a cheery, summery pattern
and make it all mellow fall and stuff.
I think I'm calling this one Sweater Weather, though it
doesn't quite have that feel to it I was hoping for.
When I add in the other blocks, I think it'll bring it home.
Matching diagonal seams are a thing with me so I
separated my units out into groups of 50 (blocks) and
am pressing these seams as I go to make sure they
nestle just right. Slow going, but worth it.
2) Get pics and list quilts.
Like I said, I'm excited to try the new things I've learned
but the humidity has been BRUTAL so there will be no
lugging quilts around until I get decent weather.
I draw the line there.
3) Find border for Fair Isle Friends and complete
for the stars but it turns out that isn't available anywhere.
(even though I just bought the FQ). A trip to the LQS for a
different dark purple is needed...whenever I can fit that in.
This isn't anything special to me so I'm in no hurry.
That's it for me this week.
Tomorrow is a sew day with a friend. I may be starting yet
another new project--which makes me panic a bit. You all
know I'm not a multi-project kind of person but knowing
I have plenty of time to get them all done is helpful.
The bonus is that I should have lots to show next week!
Happy quilting!
