Last week I was sewing from the road, without my normal set up. It was still a pretty good week on the progress front.
To Do List for 9/22/2026
1. Celtic Solstice: Continue making blocks ✔
2. Marigold Mystery: Work on September blocks ✔
3. 2026 Guild BOM: Start quilt assembly - no progress
4. Wild and Goosey: Work on teal/purple blocks ✔
5. Butterfly Medallion embroidery: Continue to stitch ✔
Check marks on 4 out of 5 is not a bad week. I ended up not working on the Guild BOM because I just really didn't have the room and there were plenty of other projects to work on. I made pretty good progress on the projects I took with me. I'm looking forward to spending some time in my sewing room. Here's my list for this week.
To Do List for 9/30/2026
1. Squared Away (SoScrappy): Make binding, sew to front
I picked up Squared Away from the long arm quilter yesterday. I haven't had a chance to get it out of the bag and unfold it, but from what I can see it looks good. So I'll definitely have another finish for next month.
2. Glowing Hearts (Sandra Walker): Continue quilting
No progress on this last week since I wasn't home. I'm hoping to finish another row, or at least close to another row, this week. Fingers crossed I'll actually have two finishes in October.
3. Celtic Solstice (Bonnie Hunter): Assembly quilt top
All the blocks have been made. Now it's time to start assembling the quilt top. I also need to decide how to use the left over border blocks. I'll probably use them in my border, I just need to see how many I have and what's the best way to use them.
4. Marigold Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Finish September blocks
The first September block is almost finished. There are 3 more chain blocks left to make, plus 5 of the star blocks. I'll need to get busy on those as the next clue comes out tomorrow.
5. 2026 Guild BOM: Start quilt assembly
All the strips for the sashing and borders are cut, I just need to start sewing things together.
6. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue working on teal/purple blocks
There are 42 of the 3.5" purple blocks finished. The quilt layout needs a total of 64, so 22 blocks left to make. Progress is slow but steady. I'm hoping that all the blocks are made before the end of the year. I may have to bump this up in priority to make that happen.
That's my list for this week. It's a bit more ambitious then usual, hopefully I can make good progress on all the projects this week. Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

That was a long drive - glad you are home safe and sound! Celtic Solstice is looking good. Will it have a border? Have a great sewing week now that you're back in the home studio and rested up!
I am glad you had a great time with your daughter--as time goes by so fast these days!!!!! And I am glad you are back home safe after that long drive--don't blame you or your body for needing a day of napping off and on--have a nice sewing week--hugs, di
That was a long drive. Did you make it all in one trip or divide it up into a couple of days? I am glad you made it home safely, Kate. You have a wonderful To Do List for the week. I hope you enjoy working on each and every project. Hugs.
11 hours of driving is definitely exhausting; I'm glad you rested up yesterday and recuperated a bit. It's exciting to know you have a few finishes queued up for the end of the year.
Wow...Celtic Solstice looks amazing. A lot of work in that.
you made good time - I was thinking it was more like a 12+ drive - but then I spot so often to walk around or I would barely be able to stand when I got home!!!
That's such a long ol' drive, glad you made it safely. You did great on your list considering all you did while you were visiting your Girl!
Eleven hours on the road in just 1 day would be exhausting. Glad you could recover the next day. Those purple Goosy blocks are just amazing!!
I'm not sure I could do an 11-hour drive on my own. I'm sure it takes a bit to rest up after that! You've done well on your projects!
