I'm a day late posting this week's to do list. We are still working with uncertain scheduling since Grad Girl and Queenie moved home. Grad Girl left yesterday morning for Houston. She has two job interviews this week. Which means I'm on kitty babysitting duty, that includes at least 30 minutes to an hour of outside time in the morning. She's used to having access to a third floor balcony to observe life from. We have a fenced backyard, but Queenie is far from an outside cat and we're not sure she'd stay in the yard if she didn't have company. So it's put a bit of a wrinkle in my morning routine of coffee and computer time.
It's hard to say no to that face. So she gets her outside time and I didn't make it to the computer yesterday. Which isn't too much of a loss. I did OK on my to do list for last week, but it wasn't one of my best weeks.
To Do List for 07/22/2025
1. Guild BOM: Finish August blocks, start September ✔
2. Kate's Choice: Continue Quilting blocks ✔
3. Embroidery or Cross Stitch: Work on either one day - no progress
4. Old Town: Continue assembly at late night sew ✔
5. Wild and Goosey: Make purple blocks, sash red blocks ✔
6. Summer Scrap Quilt: Continue as leaders and enders - no progress
Four out of six isn't a bad week, especially since I finally made some progress on the quilting for Kate's Choice. This week's list looks pretty much the same.
To Do List for 07/29/2025
1. Guild BOM: Cut pieces for September block
All the brown sawtooth stars for August are finally done. I have started cutting the pieces for the September blocks. That guild meeting will be here before I know it.
2. Kate's Choice: Continue Quilting blocks
Row 5 is now quilted. Just one more row and then I have to figure out assembly.
3. Old Town (Bonnie Hunter): Continue block assembly at late night sew.
I've gotten a couple of blocks assembled. They take longer than you think to put together. It would help if I could keep the pressing instructions straight. I've had to repress seams more than once!
4. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Work on purple blocks, start teal blocks.
The last set of red blocks is sashed into a 7.5" unfinished block. Blue, green, purple and teal blocks still need to be finished. But at least I'm starting to see how these are going together. I'm excited to see how all the cool colors come together.
5. Simply Sensational Summer Scrap Quilt (Kevin the Quilter): Continue as leaders and enders.
This one is hard to take to late night sew at the moment, so I've not made a lot of progress with it over the last week because I worked mainly on quilting Kate's Choice.
That's my list for this week. We'll see how much stitching time I manage to get in. A lot depends on what Grad Girl's schedule looks like this next week. Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

look for a kitty leash at a Pet Smart type of store I have heard of a few people who actually walk their cat
How nice for Queenie! When we lived down south, I used to let Katy, our Queenie-lookalike, in the back yard, first on a harness and leash and then letting her run free. But I had to barricade any opening under the fence after she escaped one day and I spent the morning looking for her. Now I walk Toby with a harness and leash in our backyard. He is the only one of our 5 that seems interested in getting outside.
You're such a good kitty grandma! Both of your Bonnie Hunter blocks are lovely - such pretty colors. Pressing instructions are helpful, but a lot to keep track of while you sew the sections together. Hopefully it's helpful, though. Good luck to Grad Girl with the interviews!
Good luck to Grad Girl on her interviews, and I hope you make progress and have fun working on the items on your to-do list!
You have some fun fabrics going on in your brown sawtooth stars. All of your projects are looking great. I wish you the best on checking off the list. Good luck to Grad Girl.
You bet I couldn't say no to that sweet kitty face! My goodness, she looks SO much like my cat before Bella, whose name was Cleo. I miss her still. Sometimes being away from the computer ends up being a good thing ;-) I like the quilting you're doing on Kate's choice.
Kate I think you’ve done well with having your routine changed. I’d not be able to resist the time taking Queenie outside. Your quilting on Kate’s choice is lovely and I’m infatuated with the fabric combination on Old Town. I’m hoping that Grad Girl was successful in one or both of her interviews. Thank you for sharing on ToDo Tuesday and I hope you had a week of fun and made plenty of progress on your projects. 😁 Carol
