Tuesday To-Do #28

Welcome to another edition of Tuesday To-Do,

a link-up hosted by Texas Quilt Gal for us quilters

who like a little extra motivation to get things done!

Hubs and I are now fully recovered and even played

some golf this weekend.   I had nothing on the calendar

for the whole week anyway and stayed somewhat active

 in the sewing room most of the time so I even have

some things to share today.

1) Finish post for the

Get On Board With Sewing Blog Hop

DONE!

I got two projects made for the hop and posted

a tutorial for both of them here.

 If you missed it please go check it out, along with

the other blogs on the hop.  Make sure you

sign up for the cute little prizes I'm giving away 

AND the hop's grand prize!

2) Quilt Once in a Blue Pumpkin

Not done.

I could sit at a sewing machine most of the time

but the dizziness kept me from do any quilting

so I put this off.  

3) Finish West Point Stars II Top
Almost done--just needs one more border.

When I pulled my "WP projects" basket out, I found

 that I did not make great notes--or I lost some.  Oy.

One thing I've learned about myself this year while working

toward a more business-like approach to my quilting is

that I am not the uber-organized person I used to be!

So as I work on this 3rd Etsy-WP quilt, I'm taking the

time to write down all measurements and cutting

directions, and I've created diagrams on EQ8 to go

with them.   For increased efficiency, everything can be

mixed and matched:  pieces, blocks and quilt designs.

The designs are traditional and basic but I did do all the

planning and math so the entire project is kind of special

 to me.   And now I have a collection of patterns (all based

on 3" fussy cut squares from the special order fabrics)

to draw from, or add to, as long as I keep making

 the WP quilts.

4) August Monthly Goal Post

Done:  Post is here.

5) Next-Projects Update Post

Partly done.

Next week:

Happy quilting!
