To Do List for the Week of 5/26/2026

My reading time encroached into my sewing time this last week.  I'm sure part of the reason is that the stairs up to the sewing room haven't been fun to navigate with my knee giving me fits. So it takes a bit more motivation to head that direction.  Thankfully, I was in the sewing room enough to make good progress on last week's to do list. 

To Do List for 5/19/2026

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Make backing - progress

2. Chilhowie: Continue quilting ✔

3. Lupine and Laughter: Continue working on A blocks ✔

4. Wild and Goosey: Continue sashing blue blocks ✔

Definitely not a bad week even with the reduced sewing time.  What does this week look like. More of the same with one new addition as I'm finding it hard to just work on one quilt at a time.  

To Do List for 5/26/2026

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Make backing

The pieces for the backing are cut, I just need to sit down and stitch them together.  

2. Chilhowie (Bonnie Hunter): Continue Quilting

Quilting of Chilhowie is moving along.  I'm finally getting a better handle on how to handle a large quilt on my sewing machine.  I'm getting better at keeping the lines straight and the stitching even. I'm debating if I need to go back and add one more set of lines in each direction.  The space between the stitching lines is 4", that's the maximum recommended for the batting. Is that going to be enough?  

3. Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter): Continue working on main blocks.

Construction of the main block has been pretty slow.  I decided to paper piece the star points. You need 8 for each block, so that's been the slow part of the process.  At least I can see visible progress.  

4. Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter): Pull project box, assess status

Good Fortune is the 2018 Bonnie Hunter mystery.  Looking at my records I haven't worked on it since February of 2019. Based on the mock ups found in my EQ files, I'm about half way done with the blocks.  Not sure what's in the project box, I suspect the next step will be to cut more fabric.  

 

5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue sashing blue blocks

I haven't made a lot of progress with sashing the blocks. It's been slow but steady progress, which is fine for now.  

That's my list for this week.  Hard to believe this is the last list for May.  This month certainly went fast.  June probably will too.  It always seems like the year moves faster the closer you get to the end of it.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.
