To Do List for the Week of 12/03/2024

We were in Texas for most of the week, so I didn't have a lot of time to sew.  Consequently, last week's to do list was pretty simple.

  

To Do List 11/26/2024

1.  Old Town Mystery:  Finish clue 1 and start clue 2- progress

2.  Embroidered Medallion: Take a few stitches ✔

3.  Wild and Goosey: Continue making red blocks ✔

4.  Summer Scrap Quilt: Continue as leaders and enders ✔

With all our holiday travel I only had one day in the sewing room, so I'll take three check marks and progress on the 4th.  

I should have more time for hanging out in the sewing room, but not a lot more. I do have Christmas stuff that needs to get done too.  So we'll keep the list pretty simple for this week too.  My goal this month is to just make a bit of progress here and there on what I've already got going.  

To Do List for 12/03/2024

1. Old Town Mystery (Bonnie Hunter): Continue to work on clues 1 and 2, start 3

It was late when I got to my sewing room yesterday.  I finished off a few more flying geese for clue 1 and started cutting the fabrics for clue 2.  I'm hoping to be more caught up by the time clue 3 comes out this Friday.  

2. String Lights (Meadow Mist Designs): Make binding, finalize name and label.

The quilting is all done, I'm just waiting on it to come back from being quilted.  I've played with the name and label a bit.  The 6 sided shapes strung in a chain look like benzene rings, which is similar to the molecules Grad Girl's research group uses to make various polymers, hence the rename for the quilt.  I've not run any of this by Grad Girl as yet. Once I do that, things will probably go in a completely different direction. 

3. Guild BOM: Make final sashing blocks and start quilt assembly

The sashing is HSTs, so those are pretty simple to make.  I'll work on this in between all the BH mystery clues.     

4. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making red blocks

I checked last night, I need 14 more red blocks to finish out that color. At my current sewing rate, I won't finish those this month. But I'll be that much closer when I pick up the color again next year.

5.  Simply Sensational Summer Scarp Quilt (Kevin the Quilter): Continue as leaders and enders. 

There are a pile of yellow 2-patches that are ready to be sewn into 4-patches.  This has been such a great project to work on as a leaders and enders.  There are still a lot more to make, but I should probably take the time to see exactly how close I am on total blocks.  

I have to remind myself the goal is just to make progress during this busy holiday season. Thank goodness for on line shopping!  I'm hoping to make some headway there today.  Before I get to that, I'm linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.
