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.

To-Do Tuesday #23 and Hope quilt

My 23rd week of linking to Home Sewn By Us for To-Do Tuesday

To-Do Tuesday for the Week of June 16 through June 22:

1. Finish the B blocks on the Hope quilt and decide on the layout yes
2. FMQ on the yellow brick road quilt yes
3. Work on the dolphin tablerunner yes
4. Work in my creative journal and Joanne Sharpe classes yes
5. Make some more blocks for scrappy around the cabin quilt yes

1 I have the Hope blocks on some batting and decided on the design layout without paying much attention to colors...just alternating the A and B blocks.  I think this is the layout I will use.

2  To the yellow brick road quilt....I added easy peasy flower by Lori Kennedy that she had on her blog this week.  It is fun to do.

3  To the dolphin runner...I have the cornerstones and sashing rows done and pinned ready to add.

4  I finished pages in my creative journal and the Joanne Sharpe 2020 Artfully Inspired Life book..

5  I finished 5 more scrappy strips around the cabin blocks and not all are squared because of all different size blocks.  I will square them when I put all of them together.  I have a total of 50 done......not sure how many more I will make.

To-Do Tuesday for the Week of June 23 through June 30:

1. Finalize the Hope quilt placement of blocks and sew them together.
2. Do more FMQ on yellow brick road quilt
3. Complete dolphin runner top and start FMQ

I skipped several weeks with my weekly goals...took a break.

This is my 22nd week of linking with Home Sewn By Us for To-Do Tuesday.

The last time I wrote my goals....it was to watch a lot of Bluprint classes...

AND that is what I have been doing.  I was downloading some and watching and watching and taking notes because the end of my subscription was coming.  AND there is no word yet when Bluprint will end.

To my surprise several days ago my subscription renewed....for another year!  

To-Do Tuesday for the Week of June 16 through June 22:

1. Finish the B blocks on the Hope quilt and decide on the layout
2. FMQ on the yellow brick road quilt
3. Work on the dolphin tablerunner
4. Work in my creative journal and Joanne Sharpe classes
5. Make some more blocks for scrappy around the cabin quilt

Here is the photo of some of the blocks spread on the table with the dolphin tablerunner laying on top......

To-Do Tuesday #20

This is my 20th week of linking with Home Sewn By Us for To-Do Tuesday.

Here is my list from last week and my progress

To-Do Tuesday for the Week of May 12 through May 18:

1. Work on quilts..........Hope...Mai Tai (pineapple blocks) and Yellow Brick Road yes
2. Work on online class and creative journal 4 days at least yes
3. Learn about Zoom.........our small quilt group is meeting on Zoom and I have the e-mail invite......now just figure out what to do since this is my first time with Zoom. yes

1 On the Hope quilt the A blocks are in stages of completion.  The photos show one done and another under the stripology squared ruler waiting to be squared.  There are others ready to be squared and some yet to be sewn together.  The blue arrows are for lining up the center black strip and the corners of the 10" square.  The pink arrows were the cutting arrows for the A blocks.

    On the Mai Tai quilt the pineapple blocks are done with sashing

    On the yellow brick road I did some more FMQ adding a different flower...........Faye's flower by Lori Kennedy....and also some loops and heart leaves....my favorites!!

I did some FMQ to practice on an old Susan Winget fabric with a sunflower.  I used the ruler for the straight lines around the red edge and did not use the ruler foot.....I just continued to use the BSR foot.  It seemed to work doing it carefully and it was easier than doing a straight line with the BSR foot.

2 I worked in my creative journal and on the online class each for six days this past week.  (yeah....more than my goal!)

3 I did have audio issues with my connection to Zoom.  At first I had both my phone and tablet signed into the meeting.  The group saw 2 images of me and took the phone one off of the meeting.  Then I had a lot of trouble getting audio on my tablet....they could see me but couldn't hear me!!  Finally I was able to get it to work at the end..........very frustrating.  I am used to my iPad and the iPad is too old to use on Zoom.

To-Do Tuesday for the Week of May 19 through May 25:

1. Finish the A blocks on the Hope quilt
2. Work on one or more quilts to be given as gifts
3. Work on 3 or 4 pages in my 2020 Artfully Inspired Life online class
