To Do List for the Week of 02/11/2025

It hasn't been the best week on a number of fronts.  I've got some type of respiratory infection that's been ramping up for the last week. Yesterday was pretty much a recliner/couch/bed day. My nose is sore from all the blowing, my chest hurts from all the coughing, and my head hurts.  With all that going on, my sewing room time hasn't been wonderful this last week.  


To Do List for 02/04/2025

1.  2025 SAHRR: Finish the 3rd border - progress

2.  Guild BOM: Finish the March blocks - no progress

3.  Chocolate Marshmallow: find backing fabric - no progress

4.  Marble Mystery: Finish quilt assembly, start borders - progress

5. Old Town: Continue working on clues ✔

6.  Wild and Goosey: Finish purple and start blue blocks ✔

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


It's actually not such a bad week, it was a long list. I have a few check marks to go along with the no progress comments.  Since I'm still fighting this crud, I'm going with a much more pared down list for this next week.  


To Do List for 02/11/2025

1.  Guild BOM: Finish March Blocks

I have to have this ready for the guild meeting next Tuesday.  So it becomes my highest priority.  

2.  SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Finish 3rd border, start on 4th border



 

The 3rd border just needs 3 more Friendship stars. Those are in various stages of assembly at the sewing machine, they won't take long to finish.  I have border 4 drafted, just need to cut the fabrics and start assembly. Hopefully it will go faster than these stars did. 

3. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making blue blocks

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

A much shorter list for this week.  Hopefully I'll get to feeling better as the week goes on and be more productive than I feel capable of now.

Stitching Stuff: Week 6 of 2025

 


Hopefully we have evicted the squirrels and the roof has been repaired.  That's probably the biggest item checked off my "not quilty" to do list from last week.  Yesterday My Guy and I judged Science Fair.  It's always fun to see what the kids come up with, but it is tiring.  I definitely needed a nap when we got home yesterday after lunch.  Time in the sewing room didn't happen till after dinner.  All in all it was a pretty good week.  


  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/ Feb = 8/8 days
  • 15 minute days/2025 = 37/39 days
  • Success rate = 94.87%

I'm falling behind on some of my "need to do" projects even with all the stitching time.  I'm hoping to play catch up on Sunday.  It's supposed to be cold, so hanging out in the sewing room is probably the warmest thing I could do.  

Have you had time to sew this month?

The 2025 SAHRR: Round #3

It's been one of those weeks where I ended up with less stitching time then normal.  So I'm a bit behind on Round #3 for the SAHRR.  This week's prompt of "stars" was posted by Quilting Gail.  


I had hoped to play catch up this weekend, but I forgot that I was judging Science Fair this weekend, so there went most of my Saturday.  I've made good progress, but it takes a while to make 30 3.5" Friendship Stars.  




The plan is for two borders of blue stars and 2 borders of the green/blue stars.  All the blue stars are made, but I'm still working on making all the green stars.  The borders with the green stars will mirror the borders with the blue stars.  I'm hoping to get the last 3 star borders made before the next prompt comes out on Monday. I'm going to to have to hit the sewing room early tomorrow.

January 2025 PHD Report

Usually January feels so slothful, the days drag and the month feels like it goes on forever. Not this year.  I'm amazed to find we've reached the end of the first month of the year.  It will speed up from here, so 2025 is set to move fast it seems.  

With the end of the month, it's time report on my UFO progress and link up at P Designs USA for the January PHD Report.  First off, my report.  




One new start and no finishes. That's a pretty typical start to my year. At least the new start was planned for.  If I can keep it to the three that were planned and finish at least 4, my UFO list should go down.  I'm hoping to do much better than that, but I'm going to need to start focusing on finishing to make that happen.  

The new start is the 2025 SAHRR (Quilting Gail). 



Round two is finished. So far I've kept up with the prompts.  Hopefully that continues.  This quilt is for Grad Girl's roommate so I need to finish it before May. 

There has been progress on several of my other projects this month. 
 




Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter) is my Rainbow Scrap Project for 2025.  This month's color was pink. I'm not using pink, so the plan was to finish all the red blocks needed for the layout and then start on some purple blocks. I miscounted how many reds were needed, I still need 8 of the 3.5" squares. By the time I realized that, I'd moved on to purple.   I'm sure red will come up again later this year and I can finish those up.  I've wrapped up the purple blocks for now and moved on to blue which is this month's RSC color.  



My leaders and enders project for 2025 is the same as I was using for the last half of 2024, the Simply Sensational Summer Scrap Quilt (Kevin the Quilter).  I added 10 of the blue 4 patches and another 10 of the yellow.  I checked my counts, there are still lots of 4 patches to make.  




The 2024 Guild BOM is now a finished quilt top.  I wasn't so sure about the dark gray, but it works.  There is no plan for this quilt, hopefully it will get finished this year.  But I have six other quilt tops in the closet to finish first.  




Most of January has been spent on block assembly for the Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs).  Attaching the sashing is ongoing..  Hopefully this will be a finished quilt top by the end of February.  





Not as much progress on Old Town (Bonnie Hunter) as I would have hoped for.  Clues 1 and 3 are finished.  Clue 4 was finished after the end of the month and I'm more than half way done with clue 2.  I'm slowly but surely working through all the clues.  Hopefully I can finish clues 5 and 6 before the end of February.    





The 2025 Guild BOM is on track. Since I'm the owner of the program this year, I have to be a month ahead, I've not started on March yet, but January and February are completed.  

My project tracking sheet doesn't show much progress. 



But a finished quilt top and progress on five other projects isn't a bad start to 2025. February is a short month, but hopefully I can keep up the momentum.

To Do List for the week of 02/04/2025

Starting paragraph

To Do List for 01/28/2025

1.  2025 SAHRR: Finish second border ✔
2.  2025 Guild BOM: Start March blocks 
3.  Marble Mystery: Finish making blocks 
4.  Old Town: Continue working on clues 
5.  Wild and Goosey: Continue making purple blocks 
6.  Summer Scrap Quilt: Continue as leaders and enders 

It was a good week on the productivity front. Even if I'm not hitting major milestones with most of these projects, it's nice to see progress happening.  

So what's the plan for this week? Pretty much the same as last week and the week before, a bit of progress on several projects.  

To Do List for 02/04/2025

1.  2025 SAHRR (Quilting Gail) Finish third border



The prompt for this week is "stars".  I'm going to do Friendship Stars and have gotten all the blue pieces cut for those.  I still need to cut the green pieces. Then it's going to take a lot of assembly. I may be taking this prompt down to the wire.  

2.  Guild BOM: Finish the March blocks

I've gotten started on cutting the fabrics, but I need to finish that and then get going on assembly.  

3.  Chocolate Marshmallow (Seabreeze Quilts): Find backing fabric

If I want more finishes, I need to get started on prepping some quilts to go out for quilting. The plan is to shop the stash and piece a back if necessary. 

4. Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs):  Finish quilt assembly, start on borders.



The vertical sashing strips are almost finished. Then I'll need add the horizontal sashing.  This photo is the closest I've gotten to the true colors in the quilt.  The deep purple tends to look black in most of my photos.  I'm excited to get this one to a finished quilt top.  

5.  Old Town (Bonnie Hunter):  Continue working on clues




Clue 4 is finally finished and I've moved on to clue 5.  Clues 1, 3, and 4 are all complete.  Still lots of pieces to make for this project.  But I'm making progress.  

6.  Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter):  Finish purple and continue with blue blocks.  




The top block is purple the bottom is blue.  I sometimes have a hard time deciding what's blue, blue violet, or purple. Red violet is usually easier to weed out.  It doesn't help that my digital camera really struggles with purple, it often looks blue before color correction.  

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

I'm back to making blue 4 patches this week.  My pile of blocks is slowly growing.  

That's my list this week. It's ambitious, other than my two deadline projects, I'm just hoping for progress on everything else.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

A Bit of This and That

I wasn't ready for it to be February already.  We've already had a full weekend in this short month, so now it's almost over.  Well maybe not really, but it certainly feels that way.  It will certainly go fast that's for sure.  

The weather was nice this weekend, so I got out and enjoyed it.  So there wasn't as much time in my sewing room as typical. Still there was progress on a few things.  One of which is my version of Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs).  



There's a lot of purple in this one and I like it. The plan is to get this to a finished quilt top before the end of the month.  

Since it's a new month, I need to pick a project for the Chookshed Challenge.  The goal is to get in more than 7 finishes this year. If I'm going to do that I need to start pulling out those finished quilt tops, piece backings and get them ready to go out for quilting.  I'm going to start with the my oldest finished quilt top, Chocolate Marshmallows. This was number 1 on my list for this year.  




This is one project I've not pulled potential fabrics for the backing, so I'll need to dive into the stash for that. With the SAHRR going on right now, I'm not sure I'll get it all the way out the door. But any progress is good.  

Linking up with Design Wall Monday, Patchwork & Quilts, and the February Chookshed Challenge post.

Stitching Stuff: Week 5 of 2025

 


It was definitely one of those weeks.  I kept hearing noises in the ceiling over my sewing room, then this huge crash coming from the walk in attic.  You guessed it, we have squirrels in the attic.  My husband sealed up the attic about 5 years ago after our last infestation which required replacing a significant portion of the wiring over the dining room and entry way.  But they've apparently found new ways in. I did find someone who would trap and remove them, plus fix the places in the roof they've damaged.  I'm pretty sure the stress of dealing with that led to one day of a full out miserable and debilitating migraine.  So my numbers aren't perfect for this week. 


  • 15 minute days/week = 6/7 days
  • 15 minute days/Jan = 29/31 days
  • 15 minute days/Feb = 1/1 days
  • Success rate = 93.75%


I was just out of commission for one day thankfully. It's been a long time since I've had a migraine that bad. Being retired seems to have greatly reduced the number of migraines I have. Wonder why? 

So how are you doing at getting in your stitching time so far this year?

The 2025 SAHRR: Round #2

The prompt for round #2, half square triangles, can be found at Anja Quilts.  


Half square triangles are versatile little blocks.  I played around in EQ, ran a couple of options past Grad Girl and finally settled on this version. 



Not the most original border, but it works OK. I'm ready for prompt #3 coming out on Monday.    

The 2025 SAHRR was also my Chookshed Challenge project for January. My goal was to get the center and first prompt finished.  I've actually finished the second prompt so definitely met my goal for the month.

To Do List for the Week of 01/28/2025

Just a couple more days in January. This month seem to have passed much quicker this year.  Usually I feel like January lasts forever.  I can't say that we were any busier this year than last. My to do lists have been pretty long this month, though last week's was one of my shorter ones.  


To Do List for 01/21/2025

1.  2025 SAHRR: Finish first border ✔

2.  Marble Mystery: Continue block assembly ✔

3.  Old Town: Continue working on clues ✔

4.  Wild and Goosey: Continue to make purple blocks ✔

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


It's not hard to check off an item if all the is required is progress.  Other than the 2025 SAHRR, my goal is to keep these other projects moving along.  This week's list looks pretty much the same.  


To Do List for 01/28/2025

1.  2025 SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Finish second border




The first 4 HSTs are made, I need about 24 more. This green and blue print has been such fun to sew with.  The goal is to have the second border done by Friday.  

2. 2025 Guild BOM: Start March blocks

It seems a bit early to be working on March, but since I have to announce the color at the February Guild meeting, the blocks have to be finished the month before. 

3.  Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Finish making the blocks.



   

Just two more "B" blocks to finish.  If I can get the SAHRR borders done, I'll have more time to start getting this quilt assembled.  

4. Old Town (Bonnie Hunter): Continue working on clues




I've made good progress on clue 4.  More than half way done with it now.  Still several sets of these HSTs left to make.  

5.  Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue to make purple blocks, make blue for February. 




The scrap bins had to be raided to improve the variation in my scrappy triangles for these blocks.  Still need to finish lots of purple blocks for the planned layout, but I'll switch to blue on Saturday.  

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




Just two more 4 patches needed to finish out this set of 10.  Only 20 more yellow 4 patches needed for this project. Still need a lot of the blue 4 patches, so no where near done on this project.  

That's my list for this week.  Hopefully Marble Mystery becomes a finished quilt top in the next couple of weeks and it will fall off the list for a bit.  The SAHRR will ramp up as we get to the later borders.  So even with a shorter list, I'll have lots to do.

Playing Catch Up

Winter is wearing out it's welcome as far as I'm concerned. It was miserably cold all weekend.  I'm ready for a warm up and more color than the shades of brown that currently on display outside my window. The temperatures should start to moderate a bit in February and I'm ready. 

Thankfully my border for the first round of the SAHRR was simple and easy, which left me time to play catch up on some of last year's projects this weekend. 




All the "A" blocks for the Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs) are made.  There was good progress on the "B" blocks.  Number 3 is partially assembled over at the sewing machine.  So far I'm happy with how it's coming together.  It's not going to make it to a finished quilt top before the end of the month, but hopefully I can get that far before the end of next month. 

I've also been working on the clues for Old Town.  Clues 1 and 2 are finished.  Clue 3 is more than half way.  It may be mid year before this project gets put together, but that's OK.

Stitching Stuff: Week 4 of 2025

 


It's hasn't been a bad week on the stitching front, but it hasn't been a great week either.  I was a bit under the weather this week, so I really had to motivate some days to get to the sewing room. 

  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/2025 =  24/25 days
  • Success rate = 96%

A couple of days I got in my fifteen minutes in and called it good. Some weeks are just that way.  I'm still making reasonable progress on my projects.  I'm hoping this week will be better on at least the stitching front.  How did you do at getting in your sewing room time this week?

Week 134 Photo Challenge: Graveyard

No post last week because Grad Girl needed a bit of time to get her photo.  The first week of school was busy on several fronts and getting a photo wasn't her first priority.  The challenge seemed a lot more restrictive than most of the others. 




If you Google "graveyard definition" only the Oxford Learner's Dictionary includes a definition other than a place where dead people are buried.  The Learner's dictionary states "a place where things or people that are not wanted are sent or left".  I went with the more common definition for my photo. 

Kate: Resting in the Shade


The White Rose Cemetery was established in 1898, nine years before Oklahoma become a state.  It's not far from downtown. The couple buried under the large cross were born in 1829 and 1838 respectively.  He died just two years after Oklahoma became a state.  I had wanted to try to get a photo at night. But I was a wimp, our night time temps dipped into the teens for most of the week.  

This cemetery is on the drive home work for My Guy, so not surprising his photo comes from there as well. 


My Guy: Sunset



He took his shot from one of the more open places in the cemetery. You can't see it from this vantage point, but the sun is actually moving behind the Osage Hills which rise up from the valley our town lies in.  

Grad Girl didn't really have time to go find a cemetery with school starting up and all the stuff she had to get filed so she could graduate this May.  


Grad Girl: Saturday Evening Graveyard


The Texas A&M Library on a Saturday evening is pretty much a graveyard.  Grad Girl has rented some office space so she can focus on getting all her writing done before March. It's much easier to write when you don't have the distractions of all the lab stuff going on, because it is so much more fun to go play in the lab then sit and write.  

This week's challenge should produce some interesting photos. 




 The options here, unlike last week's challenge, are just about unlimited.

The 2025 SAHRR: Round #1

The Stay At Home Round Robin is off and running for 2025. 



I really enjoy the design part of the challenge. My problem is limiting my designs to something I can actually make in a week. At least my first border was an easy sew. Kathleen McMusing set the first prompt: either a King's Crown block or make blocks that begin with the your first initial.  My name starts with a "K", though some people spell it with a "C", so I kept that as a potential option.  You can actually query Google with a search "quilt blocks that start with the letter K".  So that's where I started and pretty quickly found a potential option. After playing around in EQ, this is what I ended up with.   



The piano Key border worked out nicely.  Maybe I fudged a bit with the rules, but that's part of the fun with this challenge.  I wonder what prompt #2 is going to be.

To Do List for the Week of 01/21/2025

It always seems like the Tuesdays of the weeks with Monday holidays are actually second Mondays.  It's not as bad as it was when I was working. But I still get off schedule as My Guy is home and I don't follow my typical weekly routine. It's been too cold to do much of anything but sew over the three day holiday weekend.  That worked out well for the to do list from last week. 

To Do List for 01/14/2025

1.  2025 Guild BOM: Finish February blocks ✔
2.  2025 SAHRR: Finish center block 
3.  2024 Guild BOM: Add final border 
4.  Marble Mystery: Work on assembling blocks 
5.  Old Town: Finish clue 3, work on other clues 
6.  Wild and Goosey: Finish red blocks, start purple 
7.  Summer Scrap Quilt: Continue as leaders/enders 

Definitely a good week, there are check marks on every item on the list. The priority stitching got done and the 2024 Guild BOM is now a finished quilt top.  Consequently, this week's list will be a bit shorter.  

To Do List for 01/21/2025

1.  2025 SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Finish first border

The prompt for the first border comes from Kathleen McMusing.  She suggested a King's Crown block or a block that starts with your first initial.  Considering I don't want my borders to be larger than 4", the King's Crown block won't work. So after a bit of a panic, I did come up with a border that uses a block based on my first initial.  Fingers crossed it works out OK.

2. Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Continue block assembly. 



There are only 4 #1 blocks. One down, the second started, so just two more left before moving on to block #2. 

3. Old Town (Bonnie Hunter):  Continue working on clues




I used gold rather than the coral Bonnie suggested.  Not even half way done with clue #4.  I did finish up clue #3 last week. 

4. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue to make purple blocks.




I thought I was finished with the red blocks but as I was looking over my progress photos, I still need 8 more red block to finish out the set.  That's OK, I'll go back to red when it comes up as the RSC color.  

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




I'm back to making yellow 4 patches.  When I checked the project box, I only need to make 30 more of the yellow.  I'm just over half way done with the blue 4 patches, so there's still a lot of stitching left to do.  

That's my list for this week. Since this week's list is shorter, I'm hoping for more progress on each project. 

Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.  Stay warm and dry, it's cold out there!

Priority Projects

I'm not really ready for it to be Monday, even if it is a holiday.  Of course being retired, it's almost like another day, except I get to hang out with My Guy because he's off work.  I did spend a lot of time in the sewing room this weekend. I finished priority project #1 on Friday, my center block for the SAHRR




I've seen the prompt for the first round posted over at Kathleen McMusing's blog.  My plan is for 3" or  4" borders for each round so her first part of the prompt won't work for me.  So I'm going to have to find another block that works with the first letter of my name.  I think I have an idea. I'll definitely be playing in EQ later this morning to see if I can make that work.  

The second priority project was to finish the February block for the guild BOM. 



 

That was finished just before shutting down for the evening last night.  So I'm ready for the guild meeting tomorrow.  

The only other progress I made was actually assembling the one block A for the Marble Mystery




I'm pretty happy with my fabric choices, we'll have to see if that's still the case once I get the other blocks made and the quilt assembled.  

That's what's up on my design wall currently.  Linking up with Monday Design Wall and Patchwork & Quilts.

Stitching Stuff: Week 3 of 2025

 


It's been a good week on the stitching front.  My big goal was to get my deadline sewing completed. The center for the 2025 SAHRR is finished.  I'm still working on the guild BOM, but should be able to finish that up later today. I've had to be in the sewing room to stay caught up.  

  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/2025 = 17/18 days
  • Success rate = 94.44%
Definitely a good week on the stitching front. My weather app says lows in the teens and highs well below freezing till Wednesday.  I suspect it won't be a problem to spend lots of time in the sewing room during the upcoming week.  

How are you doing at keeping up with your stitching stuff?  Are you on track or falling behind?

Getting Started on the 2025 SAHRR

The middle of January snuck up on me. I had hoped to have my center block picked out and ready to go before the the first 2025 SAHRR kick off post went up. But that didn't happen. I've been contemplating center blocks since 4th quarter last year. I knew the color palette was going to be predominately green, but hadn't picked the fabrics.  Inspiration struck when Grad Girl and I found a beautiful blue and green Batik in the close out section of the local quilt section.




From that we found the bright blue and the darker green.  I pulled a gray from the stash to use as the background.  Now that I had the fabrics it was easier to decide on a center block. I'd been going through my patterns to find something that clicked, but ended up designing my own center block.  



I'm pretty happy with how it came together, though it's certainly not perfect.  Now we just have to wait till the prompt for the first round is announced on Monday over at Kathleen McMusing's blog

I'm playing along with the Chookshed Challenge this year. I realized when the  Mid-Month Check In post went up that I had never specified what my January challenge was.  My goal for this month is my #9, get the center block and first round border finished for the SAHRR before the end of the month.  I've got the center done, now to stay on track with the first border.

To Do List for the Week of 01/14/2025

January seems to be chugging along much more quickly then it normally does.  Tomorrow we'll be halfway through the month. Wasn't it the first like yesterday?  Maybe it's because a cold has put a damper on my stitching time and I don't feel like I got much done last week. Progress on last week's to do list isn't bad, but I definitely didn't have the most productive week. 

To Do List for 01/07/2025

1.  2025 Guild BOM: Start February blocks  

2.  2025 SAHRR: Select fabrics, start center block - progress

3.  2024 Guild BOM: Finish borders - progress

4.  Marble Mystery: Finish December, start January clues ✔

5.  Old Town: Continue to work on clues 

6.  Wild and Goosey: Continue to work on red blocks 

7.  Summer Scrapy Quilt: Continue as leaders and enders 

Not the best week, but not the worst either. The list for this week is pretty much the same, but there are two projects with deadlines, so those will be priority this week.  

To Do List for 01/14/2025

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Finish February blocks




Found the gray scraps for the main block and one of the sawtooth stars.  Those are cut. I still need 4 other grays for the remaining sawtooth stars and to cut the background fabrics.  These have to be done before next Tuesday's guild meeting. So this will be my priority this week.  

2. 2025 SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Finish center block



This quilt will be a gift to Grad Girl's current roommate.  She likes green, so most of the rounds will be green with blue used as an accent fabric.  The background is a pale gray.  I know what I'm doing for the center block, I just need to cut the pieces and get it assembled before next Monday.  So this is priority number 2 for the week.  

3.  2024 Guild BOM: Add final border. 

Since I have two other projects with immediate deadlines, this has been pushed to the side. Hopefully I'll have time to get the last border on so it can fall off the active list for a bit.  

4.  Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Work on assembling blocks




Fingers crossed my fabric choices work out. I'm hopefully optimistic seeing how the block 1 is going to go together.  

5. Old Town (Bonnie Hunter): Finish clue 3 and continue to work on other clues

I'll eventually get this mystery put together, but it's not a priority.  I've been adding in a few step 2 and step 3 pieces as I work on other projects.  Just a few more step 3 hour glass units to assemble. Then I'll move on to finishing off step 4.  

6.  Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making red blocks, then start on purple

Just two red blocks left to finish and then I'll start on purple ones till we see what the RSC color is for February.  

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

Another long list for this week.  Finishing #1 and #2 is my priority this week. If I can also get #3 moved to finished quilt top, it will have been a really good week. 

Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.
