Two check marks, two with progress and two with no progress. Not a horrible week, but not the best either. There was progress, just not as much as I would like. It's just that time of year. It amazes me that I seem even busier then when I was working. How does that happen? Here's this week's list. Fingers crossed I do better with it this week.
To Do List for 12/09/2025
1. My Girl Trivets: Quilt kitty trivets
This will probably take the better part of a day to do. I just need to put the walking foot back on the machine and get it done sometime this week.
2. 2026 Guild BOM: Finish January block
All the component pieces have been made for the January block and the block is being assembled. I've also made a start on block 12 by making a few flying geese. Why am I starting on block 12? The final quilt has an optional flying geese border. Since it's a border, you need a lot of flying geese. So I'm going to give the guild members the option to make a few flying geese each month or wait till December to make all of them.
3. Magnificent Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Continue working on Oct/Nov/Dec clues
It took a bit to make all the component parts for these blocks. I've only gotten two completely assembled. Hopefully these will go fast. I've started cutting the fabrics for the November and December clues. The background is cut for both clues. I'm hoping to make better progress on all the clues this week.
4. Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter): Start on all the released clues
I've done nothing on this project, I'm going to be way behind at reveal time, but that's nothing new for me. I've put Old Town in time out now that the blocks are all assembled, hopefully taking that off the list will give me time to start on this project.
5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making green blocks
Slowly, but surely the green blocks are getting made. They probably won't be finished by the end of the year, but any progress is good progress.
That's my list for the week. In addition to stitching, I still need to put the tree up, redo the table decorations, finish shopping and wrap everything. Not sure how much stitching I'll get done, but any progress on any front is a good thing. Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

The daylight gets shorter and so much more happens each day this time of year; I feel like I blink and it's dark and I'm out of time for the day every evening. Good luck with all you want to accomplish this week and I hope you find peace and joy in your sewing time.
Now you've got me curious about your 2026 BOM! The fabric in those flying geese is really pretty. I am often surprised at how busy we can be even when not working anymore! And especially this time of year.
Its a good list and it will all get done in time ;-)
I'll have to go back and look to see if you have chosen your fabrics for L&L
"I seem even busier then when I was working" - we have puzzled over that very thing since we retired! It is a great mystery. You've made more progress than I have - many starts and stops this week at my house.
Yeah I think it's that time of year when if any sewing gets done, it's just bonus. Of course, for so many of us it's also therapy so we have to fit our therapy sessions in at least a little bit here and there!
Kate I think you did well considering the time of year and season. I agree that once you retire you seem to gets busier than when you were working. Maybe it has something to do with taking time to do things you enjoy rather than what you have to do? Thank you for sharing your projects and progress on To Do Tuesday. 😁
