With the holiday just around the corner, it's not been as easy to find time to stitch. Then to top it off, my foot pedal for my machine is acting up. It mostly works, then suddenly it will stop. I fiddle with it and it starts back up. I have found a replacement, but as we have Christmas plans, I didn't want to order it right now. Hopefully I can limp along till January.
My sewing time this week was cut a bit short by holiday prep and a trip to see my mother. Consequently, my to do list might as well be my didn't do list.
To Do List for 12/9/2025
1. My Girl Trivets: Quilt the kitty trivets - no progress
2. 2026 Guild BOM: Finish January block ✔
3. Magnificent Mystery: Keep working on Oct/Nov/Dec clues ✔
4. Lupine and Laughter: Start on all released clues - no progress
5. Wild and Goosey: Continue making green blocks ✔
Honestly not as bad as expected, check marks on three out of five isn't horrible. Keeping up with the Guild BOM was my priority for last week. As long as that happened, it would be a good week. This week's list will be a bit shorter. I've decided to just collect the clues for the Bonnie Hunter mystery this year. Maybe after Christmas, or more likely after New Year's, I'll decide to make it or not. There is much more sewing time in January than December, so we'll see. That means this week's list is a bit shorter than it has been.
To Do List for 12/16/2025
1. My Girl Trivet: Quilt the kitty trivets
This will be the first thing I work on when I make it to the sewing room. I'm hoping the two trivets won't take that long. Famous last words, hopefully I'm not sabotaging myself.
2. 2026 Guild BOM: Start February block
The January block is finished and I got started on the border blocks, which are actually block 12. But as the final quilt needs so many of them, I'm giving the guild members the option to make a few each month and be ready for assembly when we get to next December. I've got the instructions drafted for the February block. I just need to get started on it.
3. Magnificent Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Work on Oct/Nov/Dec clues
There's been at least some progress on all the clues. September is completely finished with good progress on October and November. Still a long way to go with December's clue.
4. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making green blocks
There's been progress on this front, but still a number of green ones left to make. The plan was to be done in December. That might not happen, but I'm happy with the progress.
A much shorter list this week, but that fits my available time better. Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday, just on Wednesday.
