2022 Tuesday To-Do #24: Things

Well we're rolling right on through the month.

I feel like I'm rolling right through these lists, too!

But that's okay.  Things are getting done!

So we are here again with Texas Quilt Gal and the

 Tuesday To Do  link-up, sharing all the things!

Report on Last Week's Goals

1) Finish pumpkin blocks, maybe start piecing top together

DONE!

I'm going to tell a moral and a story together:

If you aren't happy with it and you know, switch it out!

So I did.

The end.

(Reader's Digest condensed version!)

I promised last week to show a pic of my full project

so here ya go:  my current fall quilt in the making,

blue pumpkins and all.  Is it weird that I wanted

dark blue pumpkins?  

Jarrahdale pumpkins are kinda blue and I love

them too so in my mind, it's fun and it works.

My world, my fall, my quilt, my rules.

(In the original Erica went with her rules.)

2) Figure out a project for the blog hop in September

Hosted by Melva Loves Scraps and Songbird Designs.

DONE

I racked my brain pretty hard over this one but when

I came across a sort-of tropical mini-charm set, I decided

it was time to give in and just make a table mat/runner.

Of course, you'll just have to stay tuned there.

Other Things

I kept the above list short knowing I would be hosting

a family get-together and that my sisters would be

visiting throughout the week and weekend.  

One sister, visiting from CO, brought two small quilts

that I quilted up for her. 

Sister's quilt #3.

Lorien's Sweet Pea might be my favorite go-to pantograph.

 It goes with almost anything and always looks great!

Sister's quilt #4.

After doing Holiday Garland on several of my own over

the last month or so, I was well-practiced for this one.

I was also able to give back her other two quilts

(Quilt #1, Irish Chain, and #2 I guess I didn't get a pic of?)

that were some of the first to be done on Lucey.

Another thing we worked on was going through fabrics,

books and patterns to plan our next projects.  And with

2 charity quilts and some charity blocks being returned

to the guild today, quite a bit of prime real estate has

opened back up in my closet for those next projects.

Yesterday I was finally able to take advantage of the

optimal conditions for taking outdoor photos of all

those quilts I've been working on this year.

Well, mostly optimal.  I think a few re-takes might

be needed but now I can

at least get a start with what I have so far...

which takes us into my next list of to-do's!

1) Work on photos and listings for quilts

2) Make a list and post about upcoming projects;

plan fabrics, fill out project worksheets, etc.

3) Finish Pumpkin top, name it

I have been putting myself to sleep at nights trying

to come up with a good name for this one.

As of yet, nada.

4) Work on Get On Board Blog Hop runner and post

I have a little bit of travel coming up and because we all

know that projects can nag us heartily while time flies

right by, I want to get this done ASAP.

For someone who doesn't like to sit on their computer for

any length of time, that list has waaaay too much tech

time for me.  Somehow, I will survive.  (Ahem, coffee!)

Speaking of surviving, my lousy back with its slippery disc

seems to be doing a little better--sl o o o o o w ly .  I am so

incredibly impatient to get back to golfing.  It has helped

my original back issues (keeping me loose, and active)

so I'm afraid of spiraling back down.  Plus, being able

to do something active, challenging and competitive

again has been good for my overall attitude.  This past

weekend, while accompanying hubs and our regular

group on a round, I did a little bit of very careful

chipping and putting.  That was helpful!

This coyote showed up, and not for the first time.

This particular course is in the middle of our city

but it is right along the Arkansas River so I assume

he (?) just lives down there.  Usually he keeps a

good distance but I think we could've walked

right up to him here--not that we would have.

(Note how dry things are around here!)

Time to check in with the other Do'ers!

Have a great week and happy quilting!
