2023 Week 23 Tuesday To-Do

Hello motivated do'ers and welcome to the weekly

Tuesday To Do party hosted by Quilt Schmilt.

It's been a couple weeks...yet again.

When I left off last time, I listed just one goal

because it was "going to be a busy one".

* * * Week 21 Priority * * *

Find more fabrics and start on baby quilt.

DONE.

Because it's for a baby, I made it smaller.  And

because I was in a hurry I made it more scrappy.

Some of the low volumes look pretty similar in the

pic but in real life the pieces appear more varied.

Sage Stars is 43x53 and just needs binding and a label.

Both are made so it'll be a quick finish later today.

It was a fun quilt so I'm looking forward to making

it again soon but in its full size and more true

to the pattern.

Now, where is it I have been?

Off to West Point yet again!  But for the last time,

which is sad and yet a bit of a relief.

The cadet has graduated and we spent 9 days

celebrating.   Most of them were in New York and

a few were spent between here and there.   But,

as the celebrating isn't quite done, I'm going to have

to save that whole story for another post.

So on to my goals for next week:

* * * Week 23 Priority * * *

Bind and label Sage Stars

2) Quilt Versailles

Until now, I just called it "Opening Day" after the pattern.

Because of the prints in the fabrics, I was thinking French.

I once spent a whole glorious day walking among the

many gardens of Versailles so with all of those flowers,

 that name popped quickly into my head and stuck.

And that's it for me this week.

Right now my focus is on throwing an open house

grad party for the cadet--er, that is to say,

Second Lieutenant--this coming weekend and then,

dare I say it?  That is it for the travels and crazy times!

If I was a decent sleeper, I think I'd sleep for a week.

But as it is, I sleep horribly all the time so I guess I'll

just relax as much as I can in the sewing room!

Happy quilting.
