Here is a photo of chocolate banana bars OUT of the oven.  I had posted in my hungry to lose blog about these and made them again 5 days later.  The photos in the blog are one in the pan before the oven and the other is on the plate ready to eat.

Here is the blog link if anyone wants the recipe...WW 2 points each.

We really miss going out to eat and eat all of our meals at home now.  But we do go through a drive thru and pick up food once in awhile.  We usually bring it home.  This last week we decided to check out one of the local parks and we found a picnic table that was isolated and we enjoyed being out.....

To-Do Tuesday for week of July 28 through August 3:

1. I am in a FB quilt challenge to enter a quilt every day so I will finish those entries.  
2. Document my quilts in a notebook of these 10 quilts. (Most of my information is in my blog and that is where I go whenever I need to repeat something or someone asks about a quilt.)
3. Work on my ongoing quilt projects every day.

2. FMQ practice or a project 4 days this week. yes

1  I worked on hand binding usually on the patio first thing in the morning when it was cool in the 60s....also other times during the day and evening.

I finished two more blocks of scrappy rectangles and worked on blocks from some other projects.

I made another mask from a different pattern. I used the CDC tutorial posted on TQS site

2 I did FMQ using the BSR foot, the ruler foot and the walking foot.  Here is the dolphin runner where I am using the walking foot and moving the runner back and forth to create a wavy line.  I decided to go back and cross some of the lines and that is what I will add next.

Slow Sunday Stitching binding

I have been hand sewing the binding on this quilt sitting on the patio the past few cool mornings...... 

and today enjoying some slow stitching!

There is something so relaxing about hand sewing a binding on a quilt...

I like all parts of making a quilt.....but this is satisfying as the quilt is almost done....

But then.....it is sad sometimes because the enjoyment of making this quilt is over.....

Kind of hard to explain.............

This is my yellow brick road quilt I have blogged about the FMQ.

To-Do Tuesday #25

My 25th week of linking to Home Sewn By Us for To-Do Tuesday

Here is my progress from last week

To-Do Tuesday for the Week of June 30 through July 6:

1. Work on UFO quilt project yes
2. FMQ at least 4 days practice or a project yes
3. Work on an online class lesson at least 4 days this week.yes

1  I picked a UFO from several years ago...making scrappy rectangle blocks.  

2  I practiced FMQ 4 days and started using a new ruler.  I made a mistake...I started practicing and didn't change to the ruler foot and had the wave ruler next to the BSR foot!  I broke the needle and put a chip in my new ruler!   Yikes....

The photo shows using the wave ruler on some old Susan Winget fabric that I will make into 3 potholders .  Using this ruler is harder then it seems like it would be....keeping the ruler in a spot and moving the fabric and changing the position of the ruler.  AND I didn't have very smooth transitions so I need to put the end of the ruler in less conspicuous spots.

3 I did online class lessons 5 days this week

This week I sewed the rows together of the Hope quilt and here is a photo.

I have to decide on quilting thread and pattern...oh....and decide on a backing.

I am going to use the same goals for this next week as last week.

To-Do Tuesday for the Week of July 7 through July 13:

1. Work on UFO quilt project
2. FMQ at least 4 days practice or a project
3. Work on an online class lesson at least 4 days this week.
