2022 Tuesday To-do #9: Top #9 Finish, Lucey Prep Winding Down

Happy Tuesday To-Do!

Texas Quilt Gal invites all to-do'ers to link up

and show what our accomplishments have been

for the past week and hopefully inspire each other

to get all the things done in the week to come.

From last week:

1) Finish Pines

Done.

#9 Pine Tree Lane

74x86

2) Visit LQS "B"

Done.  Actually "B" and "C".

I still didn't find my neutral but it's okay.  I'm patient

there, especially with other things on my plate. 

We (a friend and I) still both found some goodies

and a little road trip is always good for the soul.

The lighting is a bit off above but these are all going

to my blue collection.  I got 3 yds of the stripe thinking

it would make nice binding for 3? of Edyta's quilts.

The collection isn't big enough yet but I'm having fun

taking my time.  Someday soon it will be a real treat

to finally get started working through that book.

3) Continue preparing for Lucey

Oh goodness, have I been preparing!

Everything was moved out and the room now has two

coats of paint.  I ran out of time to get it in this post

so I'm hoping to cover it in a separate one, or at least

all next week.

I made no moves toward starting quilt #10 but I did get 

two backings pieced so now 8 of the 9 tops have backs.

I've also been thinking thinking about getting labels

and bindings made up for all of them but hey,

let's not be an overachiever, right?

Both of my ironing boards received new covers.

Last fall when my iron appeared to be unusually hot,

I barely tapped it to the board and it instantly scorched

that ugly brown iron mark that makes you look forgetful.

 (Soooo glad I didn't put it on something important!)

(And yes, I tossed that iron!)

  It only took me about 6 months to get it switched out.

   Because I like them to match, I did my smaller one too.

Next week's To-Do's:

Looking ahead, well gracious!  It's a big week!

I have a class on the ins and outs of Lucey on Thursday

and then Friday is the big day!  I pray she travels well;

I see snow and rain in the forecast.

1)  Finish painting studio

I will check today, once the sun comes up, to see if a

little more trim work (esp along ceiling) is required.

2) Long arm class in OK

3) Back to OK to get Lucey & set her up

4) Pics and post on the process

I'll see you all back here next Tuesday

 with pics of the big day!

Happy quilting!
