To Do List for the Week of 11/04/2025

How are you dealing with the week days post time change (for those that live in the US where you fall back this time of year)?  I was awake at 4 this morning, I've been getting up a bit after 5 the last week to mesh with Grad Girl's schedule.  So I was right on time.

Other than dealing with Houston and Dallas traffic, the drive home yesterday was uneventful. It was just long.  I'm already missing my girl and the cat. We'll see them for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I'll get my hugs and pets in then.  

I didn't post a To Do List last week, partly because of computer issues and partly just not being on my regular schedule.  My last to do list is from October.  

To Do List for 10/21/2025

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Continue to assemble quilt top ✔   

2. 2026 Guild BOM: Start first block - progress

3. Old Town: Finish block assembly ✔

4. Magnificent Mystery: Cut fabrics, start Sept/Oct clues - progress 

5. Wild and Goosey: Continue assembly of green blocks ✔

Not bad progress for a couple of weeks.  I did struggle a bit while I was in Texas.  Though Grad Girl has a craft room, it's not fully set up.  We did a couple of runs to pick up some supplies, but it still wasn't an ideal set up.  Even so I did get in some good afternoons of stitching time.  

Now that I'm home, there are chores to catch up on. But I am hoping to get back to my regular stitching time pretty quickly.  This week's list will look pretty much the same as last week's. 

To Do List for 11/4/2025

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Continue quilt top assembly

Other than adding in the December block, which I'm still contemplating doing, all the sashing pieces are added and as much as possible is stitched together. Next step is to work on stitching the pieced sawtooth star borders together.  

2.  2026 Guild BOM: Start first block

Before I left for Texas, all the fabrics were pressed. I just need to start cutting the pieces for the first block.  Hopefully that will happen this week.  

3.  Old Town (Bonnie Hunter): Finish sashing pieces, start assembly

The blocks are finally finished. All that's left is to finish the sashing pieces and assembly of the quilt can start. That's the plan for late night sew this week. 

4. Magnificent Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Start Sept/Oct clues

 

The fabrics were pressed and the pieces cut for the September and October clues before I left for Texas. I just never got around to starting the assembly process since I was focused on getting Old Town moved along. This should also see some progress during late night sew. 

5.  Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making green blocks

I didn't get much done on this project while I was in Texas, so I'm hoping to hit it strong in November and get all the green blocks finished.  

6.  Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter): Pick fabrics for the 2025 mystery.  

Bonnie posted the fabric requirements for this year's mystery on 10/24. A bit earlier than usual.  Purple, pink and ice blue with neutrals.  Do I stick with her colors or go rouge?  I'm pretty sure I'm going to start with 75% of the blocks, I prefer a rectangular versus square quilt.  It's always fun picking fabrics for a new project.  

That's my list for this week.  You can see the other lists over at To Do Tuesday hosted by The Quilt Schmilt.
