For the past two weeks I have linked up with Home Sewn By Us for To-Do Tuesday.
Having a list keeps me focused on my plan for the week and I think I get more done with this published list. So I am continuing with making a list and putting it on my blog.
Here is my list from last week and my progress
To-Do for the Week of January 14th through 20th:
- Finish quilting batik rails quilt and get ready to add binding. yes
- Do 4 pages of Joanne Sharpe online class book Artfully Inspired Life
- Make 4 more Scrappy Strips Around the Cabin blocks yes
- Start an improv table runner for the top of bookcase on office desk. yes
1. I finished FMQ and got the binding ready and have applied the binding....and started hand stitching the binding to the back. Here is the photo I took yesterday of the quilt trimmed and ready for the binding.
2. I did not get 4 pages done in my 2020 Artfully Inspired Life book but I did work in this book.
3. I made 4 more blocks for the Scrappy Strips Around the Cabin quilt. The photo shows the four in a group of blocks with paw print centers. I have 9 blocks with these fabrics to add to 21 more blocks I have of all various shapes and fabrics.
4. I started the improv table runner. The photo shows the groups of strips sewn together and also some of the 2 patches added together for 4 patches. I have them numbered 1 through 9 to keep track of which ones I have joined together so I don't have repeats....for more of a variety. Most of these are really old fabrics that I want to use up and this quilt won't be very visible because it will be up on top of the bookcase.
To-Do for the Week of January 21st through 27th:
- Piece the improv table runner which will be 14 x 57 and do FMQ practice
- Do some cutting and/or sewing of the Frolic quilt at least 4 days
- Work on 2020 Artfully Inspired LIfe book at least 4 days
I am linking up with Roseannes Linky #24.
Be sure to check it out and join in the fun!
Smiles and hugs....Caryl
Hi Caryl! Just seeing #3 in your post title makes me smile. I think they say it takes three weeks or #21 for it to become a habit . . . we'll have to wait and see if that holds true. I am looking forward to seeing your improv table runner. I'm not much on improv - but I'd like to be! Wonky stuff just throws me off . . . unless I know it is supposed to be wonky and even then I find a pattern to follow for it. I can't do random either - fabrics have to match or not clash before I can sew them together. HA! ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteOops - thanks for linking up, too!!
DeleteHi Roseanne......and posting these to-dos is getting addictive! It really helps me! I usually don't like wonky...but improv is fun for me to just experiment with different shapes and not matching seams.
