Tuesday To Do #5: Let's Go! (Even Bunnies Are Chiefs Fans!)

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by

the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did."--unknown

"Amen!" -- Me

Hello on this Tuesday morning!  It's time to link up to

 Tuesday To Do and Sew & Tell and catch up on things.

Sorry if you're not sportsy or are tired of the Chiefs

but I gotta take a moment here.

Six? years ago at a single digit temp Chiefs game.

Hooo boy, it sure is a great time to be a Chiefs fan,

 especially for us die-hards who have always been there.

Good times, good times!

I'm also a Kelce fan; just love watching both of those guys.

(Wish they'd clean up their language though.)  I'm not a Swiftie

but that's been fun to watch as well.   Methinks Travis might

have two rings in mind for this Super Bowl . . . but we shall see.

My daughter's bunny, Violet, watching the game.  Too cute!

So, that game.  I expected more of a battle but alrighty!

And we are off to the Superbowl again so let's talk snacks!

What's your fave tailgating fare?

Somehow I need to try to keep it low-key yet yummy but I know

it'll grow into a full affair by the time the kids join in.  Maybe the

best way to approach it is to just be super-active this week?

Other than walking around DC, I've flopped miserably over

these few weeks so it's time to get back at that!

Things have been slow to progress in the studio as well

but I can at least boast of a clean and organized studio!

So let's go:

* * * Week 4 Priority * * *

1)  Finish Flannel Woods top; find backing

Done, and completed the quilt.

 

60x63.

I made notes of the mistakes in this pattern when I made the

first quilt...except the missing 1/4" allowance on the side triangles.

  It didn't seem right when I was cutting them out this time;

I should have gone with my gut feeling but I was rushing. 

 SO, if you zoom in, the bottom point of all 4 outer trees is cut off.

 

But it's consistent.  Every tree on the edge ends that way so does

it really look wrong?  I'd really like opinions here, and please be

picky because it's for my shop and needs to look good.

 (I could always just gift it next Christmas?)

2) Go through fabrics; organize and purge any unwanteds

Also go through scraps.

I purged scraps but only tidied the fabric; I'm not out of space

so I decided against purging unwanted fabric for now.

But I was on a roll so I kept going...

And now my entire studio is cleaned and organized.

I even recovered my ironing boards.  The fabric is

an homage to my late cat and sewing buddy, Tasha.

Now if I could only find my sewjo.  

* * * Week 5 Priority * * *

1) Choose and start new quilt

2) Decide on listing Flannel Woods.  If so, get pics.

3) Post OMGoal finish for January and goal for February

4) Make charity quilt plan

I have lots of charity fabrics but I am realizing it'll never

find its way into quilts unless I schedule the time for it.

Happy quilting!
