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.
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.

It is definitely a busy time of year, so we just have to be kind to ourselves with expectations. Four patches sound like the way to make some progress without too much pressure!
I've decided that December is for anything and no goals! LOL I would just bust them anyway. Love your label making skills, you are a master.
I like the name “Polymer Strings”, and those do look like benzene rings. You made great progress considering your other commitments.
Making progress in this hectic season is going to position you well for a great start in 2025. I really like the Polymer Strings labels and hope Grad Girl's input is helpful. :)
I’m looking forward to seeing your Polymer Strings finished.
I seen my favorite color, yellow, so had to pop over. I still really do not know what leaders and enders are.
