To Do List for the Week of 12/19/2023

Less than a week till Christmas. I've got gifts to wrap and some laundry to catch up on before the holiday, but that's about it.  My Guy is off work till after New Year's.  Grad Girl will be home this weekend.  All that to say I'm not sure what this week is going to look like in terms of "at home time".  So this week's list will be a bit looser then normal.  But before I get to this week's list, here's how it went with last week's list. 

To Do List for 12/12/2023

1. Indigo Way: Continue clues 1, 2 and 3, start clue 4 ✔

2. Malted Mystery: Finish clue 5 and start clue 6 - progress

3. Rhododendron Mystery: Finish the pieced borders ✔

4. Melodic Mystery: Finish making binding, sew to quilt ✔

5. Chilhowie: Continue as leader and enders ✔

6. Fabric organization: cut/sort scraps and press fabric ✔

It was a really good week.  I'll take the 5 check marks with progress on the sixth item.  Here's this week's to do list. 

To Do List for 12/19/2023

1. Indigo Way (Bonnie Hunter): Continue clues 2, 3 and 4

Clue 1 is finished (yeah!!!).  I'm moving along with all the other clues. I'm not caught up, but am doing better then I usually do at this point in the mystery.  Clue 5 will come out Friday, but with the holiday and family commitments, I won't start it till after the holiday.  

2. Malted Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Finish clue 5

I'm still trying to finish November's clue for this mystery.  I've been going slow with this project so I don't make mistakes. The blocks aren't hard, but you do have to get the position of the component parts right. I'll catch up at some point.

3. Melodic Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Work on hand stitching the binding down

It probably won't be finished, but that's OK. There is still a week after the holiday to make sure it's the third finish for 2023.  

4. Chilhowie (Bonnie Hunter): Continue as leaders and enders

I'm making the last set of hourglass blocks. Those are slow going as leaders and enders. But any progress is good progress.  

That's my list for this week.  If I make any progress I'll be happy.  There will be plenty of time for sewing after the holiday.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt: For the Love of Fabric for To Do Tuesday.  Good luck with both your stitching and holiday goals. I know there are lots of dual to do lists this week.
