To Do List for the Week of 12/24/2024

It's been a busy week, lots of holiday preparations, not much stitching stuff the last few days. I did work in a few stitching sessions in the sewing room before the holiday schedule completely took over.  

To Do List for 12/17/2024

1. Old Town: Work on clues 1, 2, 3, 4 and start 5 - progress

2. Wild and Goosey: Work on red blocks ✔

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

4. Embroidered Medallion: Take a few stitches ✔ 

Last week's list was pretty loose, mostly just continue to make progress on my active projects.  I pretty much did that. The plan for this week won't really kick in until Friday, once all of the holiday visiting is over.  As much as I enjoy the hustle and bustle of family time, I will most definitely be ready for some alone time in my sewing room by the weekend.  

To Do List for 12/24/2024

1.  Old Town (Bonnie Hunter): Work on clues 1, 2, 3, 4 and start 5, 6, and 7.  

I've made good progress on the first 4 clues, but didn't get the chance to start clue 5.  Bonnie dropped clue 6 yesterday. I'll have some serious catching up to do when I get back into the sewing room.  

2. Butterfly Medallion: Finish the orange butterfly

 

Just a bit left to do and it will be finished. I had planned to finish it last night, but My Guy needed something from the store. Which then turned into a stop at Braum's for ice cream on our way back to the house.  Grad Girl can't get Braum's ice cream in College Station, so she indulges when she's home. I should be able to finish the butterfly today and move the hoop to the next section once the last of the present wrapping is done.   

3. 2025 Guild BOM: Finish writing documentation for January

The wonderful guild member who has led the block of the block program for the last ten plus years, wanted a year off. I somehow agreed to take it on for this year.  We are making a rainbow scrappy quilt using the Inverted Star block by Jessica Boschen. If you've followed my blog for long you may remember that I've made a quilt from this block before (here). I choose this pattern because I only need to write one pattern for the blocks and just announce a new color each month.  That I can do.  Writing a pattern for a new block every month is pretty daunting.  We'll see how it goes this year. 

4. 2024 Guild BOM: Finish the sashing and start assembly.

I've started the sashing, but have gotten derailed trying to keep up with Old Town.  I'm hoping to have a fully assembled quilt by the end of the year, which is only 7 days from now.

5.  Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Finish the December clue. 

I've made a start, but still have a lot of stitching and cutting to do. But that should go pretty quickly once I'm back in the my sewing room.  

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

I haven't gotten very far with the red blocks this month. Hopefully I can finish up a few more before I pick up with whatever Soscrappy decides is the RSC color for January. 

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

So it's a long list for the last week of the year. I'm taking a week off my household chores, mostly.  I'm hoping to spend a lot of time stitching along with hanging out with Grad Girl and My Guy. Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.  

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season with friends and family.
