Week 26 of Tuesday To-Do '23: Stop Moping and Have Some Fun!

Hello do'ers and do'er wanna-be's!  Welcome to the

Tuesday To Do party hosted by Quilt Schmilt.

(If are a wanna-be, how about making

yourself a weekly list and start joining us?)

This morning's coffee isn't quite all happiness.

The 2LT just left for Ft. Moore and the nest is back to

being empty.  It's never easy to see them leave, but we

always try to focus on just being excited for them as

they go off to their adventures.  And then I go focus

on getting busy.  Thank goodness for quilting, right?

Here's how I did last week:

* * * Week 25 Priority * * *

Finish Into the Woods and rename.

DONE!

Quilted in Curly E2E, Cabin In the Woods finished up at 72x68.     

It was gifted to a beloved friend who we'll no longer

get to see very often.  At least it wasn't a complete

goodbye but it's all weighing very heavily on me.

So I did what I could to provide some comfort.

(For me?  For the friend?  Both?!?)

It's definitely the coziest quilt I've ever made!

2) Bind, label, photograph and list Versailles.

QUILT DONE!

The quilt is finished but awaiting pictures and listing.

3) Start on another version of Autumn Shimmer

DONE!

Thinking of calling it Radiant Fall but for quilts that I

sell I should probably avoid seasonal names unless

it's completely obvious--like pumpkin fabric.

It's a good thing I enjoy the cutting out because there

was plenty to be had.  And now I'm finding that this

mindless piecing is just what the doctor ordered!

I guess I'm not feeling particularly conversational

so I think I'll move right on to next week's list:

* * * Week 26 Priority * * *

Photograph and list Versailles.

2) Finish Radiant Fall (or other name?) top

3) Finish up mid-year list

I've made a crazy goal:  complete 15 quilts before the

holiday season hits.   Yes, fifteen.  I can do it.  I have

no major obligations or trips.  And it's about time

I finally get to put my full focus on my Etsy shop.

Even just ten would be awesome but hey,

why not shoot the moon?!?

I'll see ya all back here next week and hopefully

I'll have made such fantastic progress that we'll start

feeling a wee bit confident that I'll make that goal!

Happy quilting!
