Life has been busy. It's tax season, plus my special project at work has really picked up and I ended up working most of the weekend. While that helped with the work to do list, the stitching to do list suffered.
Weekly To Do List for 4/5/2022
- Unity: Find backing fabric, press, cut panels - progress
- Macaron Mystery: Start assembling blocks into rows ✔
- Rhododendron Mystery: Work on clue 5, hourglass blocks as leaders and enders ✔
Two out of three isn't a horrible week considering how busy it was and how little stitching time I had over the weekend. Thankfully, the I have some wiggle room with the due date for my part of the special project I picked up, so fingers crossed I won't have to work the holiday as we have family plans. But that means I won't have a lot of stitching time either way. So we'll keep this week's list pretty short and simple.

Potions: Patten by Flying Parrots Quilts |
Potions showed up last Friday. It's hard to see all the quilting detail in this shot, but Trudy did a wonderful job with it. I'm going to focus on getting the binding ready and stitched on so I can use this as handwork over the weekend when we are hanging out with family.
Macaron Mystery: Continue row assembly

Macaron Mystery: Meadow Mist Designs 2021 Mystery Quilt Along |
For some reason the blocks wouldn't stay up on the design wall, so I took most of them down. The two corners are assembled and the first rows of sashing are finished. I doubt much gets done, but I'm hoping to at least get the sashing sewn to the next row of blocks.

Rhododendron Mystery: Bonnie Hunter 2021 Quilt Along |
One block A and one block B have been added to the design wall this week. I've got half of the A blocks done, and not quilt half of the B blocks finished. Progress is the goal and that's happening, though a bit on the slow side.
I did find a backing fabric for Unity in the stash, but that's all I managed. It still needs to be pressed and cut. I'm not adding it to this week's list as it likely wouldn't get done with all the other commitments this week.
