Where did the last week go? My last To Do List post was last Wednesday, so maybe that's why I'm feeling like the week just evaporated? It has been a busy week and it certainly seems like I've not gotten much done.
To Do List 12/10/2024
1. String Lights: Finish binding ✔
2. Guild BOM: Make January Block for 2025 BOM ✔
3. Old Town: Work on clues 1, 2, start 3 and 4 ✔
4. Wild and Goosey: Make red blocks ✔
5. Summer Scrap Quilt: Continue as leaders and enders ✔
The two things I needed to get done, got done, String Lights and the first block of the month for the guild. I made a bit of progress on everything else. Definitely not as much as I would have liked on Old Town, but I at least got one set of HSTs made for clue 4.
There are no "have to finish" things on this week's list. The holiday activities will start to fill in the days towards the end of the week, so I'm just hoping for progress on a few fronts this next week.
To Do List for 12/17/2024
1. Old Town (Bonnie Hunter): Work on clues 1, 2, 3, 4 and start 5
I'm almost finished with clue 1, but haven't gotten very far with the other clues. The next 2 weeks will be busy with holiday stuff. What gets done, gets done. I'll just play catch up in January, which seems to be my modus operandi for these mysteries.
2. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Make more red blocks
Since I just work on a couple at a time and those easily fit into my sewing rhythm, I'll keep those in rotation this week.
3. Simply Sensational Summer Scrap Quilt (Kevin the Quilter): Continue as leaders and enders.
I'm working on 2-patches for the next set of 10 blue 4-patches. So I should get a few of those done while working on Old Town.
4. Embroidered Medallion: Take a few stitches
This is my travel/family visiting project. I'm sure it will see some action as we get closer to the holiday. I'm hoping I can finish the orange butterfly.
I still have gifts to wrap and a bit of shopping left to do before the holiday. Grad Girl's room needs a quick going over before she shows up. So still lots to do before the holiday. Some days I may just get my 15 minutes of stitching time in and that's OK. I'll have some time after the holiday to play catch up in the sewing room.
Good luck with all your stitching and holiday plans. Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

Sounds like my schedule! The holidays have really crept up on me this year. Thankfully a bunch of the family will be in the area on Christmas Eve, so none of those packages to mail.
It sounds like you have good expectations for the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy your stitching time and that the holiday season goes smoothly for your family.
Gee, thanks -- your reference to Kevin's mystery quilt led me to poke around his blog and now I'm saving the clues for Sapphire Stars (2017). Have a great week!
Such a busy time of year, but I also like to have some projects going for slow times or while riding in the car.
That's great that your "have tos" are done, Kate! The rest is icing on the cake. I'm having one of those weeks where I'll feel lucky to get 15 minutes a day to sew. But lots of things get done that way! Wishing you a productive week!
It all looks good. I really like your butterfly.
Sounds like a busy week for you. I love the fabrics that you are using in Bonnie's mystery quilt especially the blue. Aaah and your butterfly quilt- so so pretty. I wish you a great week stitching. Hugs.
You are making good progress on things in spite of Christmas prep! Love that butterfly.
Kate it sounds like you’ll have a busy week! Congrats on all your check marks on your To Do List. Thank you for sharing with ToDo Tuesday. Hope you’ve been happy with your progress this past week. I love your butterfly. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Enjoy your time with family! 🤗 Carol
