To Do List for the Week of 12/26/2023

I'm a bit late posting this week's to do list.  We went to my family's for the holiday.  All of us came home yesterday with headaches, sore throats, and runny noses.  My Guy and Grad Girl have fevers, I don't. Up till then, the holiday had been a good one.  Fingers crossed this is a short lived virus and we'll all be back to feeling good soon.

Since I felt the best, my first back home assignment was grocery store duty. That was followed by a  run to Walgreens as afterwards we discovered that both the Tylenol and Advil were expired (by at least 6 months).  After that, I joined the rest of the family in napping the rest of the afternoon and early evening.  So no blog post yesterday.  

Progress on last week's list wasn't too bad even with the travel and family time thrown in. 

To Do List for 12/15/2023

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

2. Malted Mystery: Finish clue 5 - progress

3. Melodic Mystery: Start hand stitching binding ✔

4. Chilhowie: Continue as leaders and enders ✔

Three out of four check marks, with progress on the fourth isn't bad for a holiday week.  I also made some progress on the Butterfly Medallion project that wasn't on the list. It was just easier to grab that case for the trip than it was to pack up the Melodic Mystery quilt. 

Here's the plan for this week:

To Do List for 12/27/2023

1. Indigo Way (Bonnie Hunter): Continue clues 2, 3 and 4, start 5 and 6

I'm almost finished with clue 2, but still have a long way to go on clues 3 and 4.  Hopefully I can make some progress on those, as well as clue 5 before the next clue comes out on Friday. 

2. Malted Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Finish clue 5, start clue 6

These are the last few pieces of clue 5. Clue 7 comes out next week, so I need to get moving on clue 6 soon.   

3. Melodic Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Finish hand stitching binding. 

The first side is about 60% stitched down. Hopefully I'll turn the first corner today.  I'd really like to finish the binding before Sunday so this project will be the third finish for 2023. 

4. Betty (Meadow Mist Designs): Select fabrics

Cheryl is hosting a quilt along featuring the patterns in her book Just Two Charm pack Quilts.  I participated in the blog hop for the book release last year and made a version of String Lights.  There are several quilts I'd like to make from this book.  I really, really don't need a new project. But with all the scrap processing recently,  my 2.5" strip bin is overflowing.  My plan is to use my 5" and 2.5" scraps in blue, purple, green to make the blocks. I still need background, sashing and border fabrics.  Cutting starts on January 2nd, so I need to get my act together on that. 

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

I'm working on the component parts for the last block.  It would be nice if that last block is finished by the time we reach the last clue for this year's mystery.  

That's my list for this week.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt: For the Love of Fabric for To Do Tuesday. This will be the last to do list for 2023!
