2021 Tuesday To-Do #4

A happy February Tuesday to you all.

My first order of business today is more housekeeping:

I'm still getting a few comments that I can't reply to

but I do see them!  So, to answer to a couple questions:

My Pumpkin Patch quilt is from the pattern

Hocus Pocus by The Pattern Basket.

Pine Tree Lane is from Peppermint Pines

by EricaMade and can be found here. 

Okay, time to check in on last week's progress.

"Slow and steady as she goes" is the theme!

 A little here and a little there adds up!

1) Snowflake quilt:  Cut everything out

Done!

I'm still waiting on two green fabrics to arrive

but everything else is done.  

I have just 48 pieces left out of 1200 so, in my mind,

I can go ahead and check this off.  There are other

issues to note for this quilt so if you are considering

this please see my post from yesterday:

February One Monthly Goal.

2)  HST's:  keep going

Done.

Over 340 of these

Finished sewing another set.  Only one left.

3) Knitting:  work on scarf 

Done.

I'm creeping along but at least I'm creeping.

4) Think on contest entry & get required fat quarter

Done.

I wasn't sure which fabric my stash would match

best so I grabbed both.  (Maybe I'll make two?)

As it turns out, my stash helps me very little with

either so I'll likely have to make another LQS run.

For the actual quilt, I have narrowed it down to

three options.  More on this project next week.

5) Finish blog housekeeping

Done.

The pages are up to date at least.  I want to

get them cleaned up and all projects linked to

their respective posts but a person could spend

all day doing this stuff.  I'd rather sew.  This will

just be an on-going thing from here on out.

At least everything is there.

Bonus!

Another squirrel sneaked in.

It's supposed to be 12X12--mine is 12X13.

Not sure what happened but I like it that way.

I'm trying to do more minis so this, along with the

other 3 Valentine's projects, has me achieving that

goal fantastically early.  I've mailed this one off to my

aunt/Godmother as a surprise.  Why send a card

when we've got skillz? 

Fabric tracking

(purchased v used)

YTD:  

Balance forward:  + 24 / -1.25

This week:  +1 / -9

Total:  +25 / -10.25

I did better this week--now to keep improving!

The week ahead looks a little busy so I'm

keeping it light.   

1) Snowflake quilt:  Make 2 blocks

2) Charity quilt contest:  finalize quilt(s);

start getting fabrics lined up.

3) Make a simple fabric tracking spreadsheet

One month in and I already hate the math.

'Nuff said.

Best wishes for a productive week to all!
Happy quilting!
