Hard to believe it's been a week and it's time for a new to do list. With all the disruption to normal life my sense of time is a bit warped. After four days of working from home, it was getting hard to remember what day of the week it was. I can't say there was more stitching time last week, but there was enough to check off most of my to do list.
Weekly To Do List for 02/16/2021
- Grassy Creek: Assemble rows and pieced borders - progress
- Morewood Mystery: Continue to assemble Block B's ✔
- Unity: Make HSTs for clue 6 as leader and ender ✔
I didn't quite finish off getting Grassy Creek sewn together. I was going to finish the last of the stitching last night, but the Scientist in Training called for a bit of a catch up as she hadn't called over the weekend due to homework overload. Even so, two out of three, with significant progress on the third is a really good week. Here's the plan for this week.
Weekly To Do List for 02/23/2021
Red, White and Blue Stars: Make binding, label, trim quilt, stitch to front.

This project showed up in the mail yesterday. Trudy did a beautiful job with the quilting. I'll show off more of that when I do the final glamour shots. I'm going to use the red on white print that's in the sashing for the binding. The plan is to trim the quilt, make the binding, print the label and get the binding sewn to the top of the quilt. I'll probably be able to start hand stitching it to the back, but even though this is a small lap quilt, I'm not going to get that finished this week.
Grassy Creek: Finish assembling top, decide on borders

Only three blocks for the second border strip are finished. I've got a lot of HSTs still to make to finish off the remaining three border strips. I've got a nice pile of HSTs to make blocks with now, so maybe the block assembly will speed up a bit. Still this is my leader and ender project, so just keeping it moving is the goal.
Today for the first time, I noticed the little white flowers on the blue fabric in your Morewood Mystery quilt. It's strange, but seeing those flowers changed the whole quilt for me LOL. They are so pretty in this very geometric quilt--a perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteSeeing that red fabric close up on the star quilt, I can see how pretty it is. Looks yummy. Can’t wait to see the finish.
ReplyDeleteLots of progress AND getting a good long conversation with the SIT. Good for you! It's always exciting to get a quilt back from the quilter and unfold it to see what magic they've waved over it. I currently have 3 in the hands of a quilter and can't wait to get them back.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! and of course talking to the kid ranks the highest!!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing the glamour shors of R, W, and B stars. Love the close-up of the red border - so pretty. Grassy Creek is moving along, too. I always like the way you set the goal of just to move a project forward in some way.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress, Kate!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck for this week.
I love the two reds together on the teaser photo you showed. Now I'm wondering if that is the front or the back. You got a lot done this week and going back to the office on top of it. I hope everything is going smoothly there this week. I've talked to a lot of people who were home all last week who went back to malfunctioning equipment from all the rolling blackouts.
ReplyDeleteHey Kathy, looks like a finished quilt is in your future! Hooray! Good luck with your list this week! Thanks for linking up to To-Do!
ReplyDeleteGreat week, great progress!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate! I thought it was just me that throwing in a few working from home days really messes with my head. What day is it? What's my name? Where am I?! I love my job but it is so much easier to do in the actual office. I hate to even say that - I thought I would love working from home but I miss my work people! Great job on your list. It's so nice to see your projects moving forward. Binding being added is a very near finish - can't wait to see. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteYou make really good progress each week, even with your workdays! All of the projects are looking so good!
ReplyDeletePretty piecing! Hope you do post those Glam shots!
ReplyDeleteYay! Getting a quilt back in the mail is like Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI am loving your Morewood Mystery. The diagonal lines are pretty. The row with the pink tulip shaped flowers really add so much!
