August PHD Report

The big thing that sticks in my mind for August is just how hot it was all month.  Normally we get those triple digit temps for a couple of weeks. It was pretty much the whole month, with just a few days of temps dipping into the 90's. It was a good month for sewing, it was too hot to do much else.  No finishes last month, but there was still enough progress to do an August PHD report to link up with Ms. P Designs.  

No finishes, but there was a new project started last month. It was a project I planned to start this year.  It's a quilt along that won't finish till next year, so it doesn't have to get done this year.  I've done pretty well at limiting the squirrels this year. This is my first new start since January.  

Celtic Solstice, the 2013 Bonnie Hunter Mystery, has been on and off to my to do list since June of this year.  There was finally some progress on this UFO in late August.  It's my last unassembled BH mystery. All the 4-patch chain blocks are finished. Now to work on the piece heavy main block.  That's going to go pretty slowly.   

The next quilt to go out for long arm quilting is Squared Away (2018 Rainbow Scrap Challenge Sampler).  This is another quilt for one of My Girl's college buddies. The plan was to pull a backing from the stash, but nothing I pulled worked.  So we decided to take advantage of a sale and buy an extra wide backing.  The plan is to get this to the long arm quilter before I leave to visit My Girl later this month. 

Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter) has moved from a set of blocks to a finished quilt top this month. I'm really happy with how it turned out.  The pieced border was definitely worth doing.  Now it goes into the to be quilted closet. 

Work on the teal blocks for my version of Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter) continued in August. Just 4 blocks to go and I'll be ready to sash the 3" finished blocks into 7" finished blocks for quilt assembly.  

The quilting has been slow going on Glowing Hearts (Sandra Walker).  I picked a denser quilting motif, so of course it's going to take more time. It's going to be worth it, I really like how it's turning out.  Based on where I'm at, this going to be a September/October finish. 

All the blocks for the 2026 Guild BOM have been made. Only the blocks through September are shown in the photo since that's all the guild has seen.  I'm working on the quilt assembly instructions, with plans to start that in late September after the October block is shown to the guild.  I need to get this quilt to finished quilt top so I can move on to next year's BOM and have that ready to go for the December meeting.   

  

Marigold Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs) is the new project started this month.  The August blocks are all finished.  This is my 11th Meadow Mist Designs' mystery sew along. I've enjoyed all of them.  The sew along doesn't end until next April, so I'm looking forward to several months of clues.   

August was a good month. No finishes, but one project reached finished quilt top stage and another one is ready to prep for quilting.  A new project was added, but it was a planned one.  

All the work this month means there's a good chance for at least 2 more finishes before the end of the year.  I'll take that!    

Something Old and Something Older

Last week it was something old and something new.  This week the old was finished and I restarted an even older UFO.  Is there some point where an old UFO becomes like a new project?  If there is, I haven't found it yet.  

Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter), the old project, is now a finished quilt top. I'm glad the pieced border got added, it does make a nice frame for the rest of the quilt.  Plus it used up all those already cut up fabric pieces and finished blocks.  

This joins the "to be quilted" pile.  There are 14 of those hanging in the closet. I'm not sure when this one will get quilted. There are 5 quilts that need to be quilted first as those are graduation gifts for next year.  My Girl did find out intended graduation dates.  May of next year is the earliest, but December of next year is the more likely date for all of them. So I have time.   

There are still a few left overs from Good Fortune.

The green/neutral HSTs will probably become windmill blocks. Not sure what I'm going to do with the neutral strips.  I'll have to play around with those at some point in the future. Maybe a baby quilt for donation via the guild?  We'll see.  

The something older is the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt I started back in 2013, Celtic Solstice. The last time I worked on it was in February of 2014.  It's aged for 12 years, it's definitely time to pull out all the pieces and move this along to finished quilt top.  

The 4-patch chain blocks were the easiest to tackle first.  I only needed to make 8 more for the layout I've decided on. The last 4-patch chain is almost finished.  The main blocks are going to be much more involved. Lots of piecing required for the component parts.  It will probably take me all month and then some to get those blocks all finished.

Something Old, Something New

We spent half the weekend in Tulsa. Saturday was a charity event for the Sutton Avian Research Center. That's the organization that runs the Bald Eagle survey teams in our area.  My Guy has been part of that team for at least 5 years.  We stayed in Tulsa for the night and spent Sunday morning hanging out at a coffee shop and then getting lunch before we headed home. Something different than our normal weekend.   

I did get some good sewing time in before we left and then after we got back.  The pieced borders for Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter) were finished and attached just before dinner was ready last night.  

The plan is to add one more narrow black border to frame the quilt. I'll call it good at that point. Good Fortune should reach finished quilt top stage sometime this week.  

So if Good Fortune is the old, what's the new?  The August blocks for the Meadow Mist Designs 2026 Marigold Mystery also got finished just before dinner on Sunday. 

 

I'm pretty happy with how they came together. Now I have to wait for the next clue to come out to see what's next.  

With the Marigold blocks done and Good Fortune just about a finished quilt, it's time to pull out another UFO to push to finished (or at least to finished quilt top).  Linking up with Patchwork & Quilts and Sew & Tell Monday.  

To Do List for the Week of 8/18/2026

It's tempting to start another post off with the weather, it's been an exceptionally hot summer this year.  But I'll try to stop with that and move on to all the sewing that happened last week as a very happy consequence of not wanting to leave the house.  

To Do List for 8/11/2026

1. Glowing Hearts: Start quilting ✔

2. 2026 Guild BOM: Finish October block ✔

3. Good Fortune: Work on borders ✔

4. Marigold Mystery: Work on August blocks ✔

5. Wild and Goosey: Work on teal blocks ✔

It was a good week on the progress front. I've not reached any big milestones with the projects on the list, but I'm getting close on Good Fortune. For this week, one project drops off for a bit and another UFO comes back onto the list.  

To Do List for 8/18/2026

1. Glowing Hearts (Sandra Walker): Continue quilting

I'm quilting this quilt on my new Bernina, so I had to play around a bit to figure out all the settings and do a few practice runs on a mini quilt sandwich.  I'm hoping to make progress on all three blocks in that middle row this week. 

2. Squared Away (Soscrappy): Cut fabrics for backing

Squared Away was the 2018 Rainbow Scrap Challenge Sampler.  I finished all the blocks back in November of 2018.  It took me 6 years to pull the blocks out of the storage box and set them into a quilt.  The finished quilt top has been patiently waiting in the to be quilted closet since November of 2024.  This is another quilt for one of My Girl's college buddies.  Hopefully I can get this one sent out quickly so it comes back before Christmas.  

3. Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter): Work on pieced border 

The blocks for the first border have been sewn into pairs.  Not sure all 4 pieced borders will get done this week.  A lot depends on how well they fit and if I have to redo any seams.  

4. Marigold Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Work on August blocks

Still working on the flying geese blocks for the first set of blocks.  Just 2 more colors to cut and assemble after this green set.  

5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue working on teal blocks

 

 I cut all the paper patterns needed to finish up the teal blocks. When one color gets close to being finished, this is the best way for me to know when to stop without counting every time I finish a block.  Just 9 teal left to paper piece. 

A few older items on the list, but a few new ones too.  I'm hoping to make good progress today, after my dentist appointment this morning.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.   

Making Progress a Little at a Time

Staying in the sewing room has definitely been the way for me to beat the heat this summer.  Even though my sewing room is the warmest in the house, it's still cooler than going anyplace else. It's summers like this I really miss having a basement.  Our fist house here had one and it would have been an awesome sewing space had we not had to transfer to Texas all those years ago. At this point I'm hoping those long range forecasts that are predicting an early and cooler then normal fall are correct.  We could definitely use a cool down. 

Why does adding borders always seems to take longer than it should?  I made some progress with the borders for Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter). 

 

The narrow black border was always planned. The neutrals border was added when I decided to use the split HST blocks as a pieced border.  

I needed one more inch so those blocks would fit. The neutrals border is also pieced. When I opened the project box there was a pile of 1.5" x 8.5" neutral strips. Rather than cut new strips from the left over yardage, it just seemed prudent to use up what had already been cut.  So that border took a bit longer to assemble. That strategy was definitely wise, the border used up most of those left over strips.  The last neutrals border is pieced, but I didn't get it pinned and sewn on last night.  That should happen today.  Fingers crossed Good Fortune is a finished quilt top by the end of the week.

To Do List for the Week of 8/11/2026

Summer continues in full force here, so my air conditioned sewing room is my preferred place to hang out most days. Though I did concentrate more on getting chores done this last week. I'm behind there after my back and knee issues last spring. I still got lots done in the sewing room, just not as much as planned.  

To Do List for 8/4/2026

1. Glowing Hearts: Finish sandwiching, start quilting - progress

2. 2026 Guild BOM: Make September's block ✔

3. Good Fortune: Continue assembling quilt ✔

4. Celtic Solstice: Work on chain blocks - no progress

5. Wild and Goosey: Continue working on teal blocks ✔

Good progress on everything but Celtic Solstice, which is still a good week.  I'll get to that project eventually, probably once Good Fortune is a finished quilt top. But that probably won't be for a few weeks, so it will drop off this week's list.  

To Do List for 8/11/2026

1. Glowing Hearts (Sandra Walker): Start Quilting

The quilt is sandwiched. I'm still mulling over quilting designs.  Diann, who blogs at Little Penguin Quilts, has been quilting her scrappy hearts with a cross hatch and I really like how that looks on those blocks.  So that may be my inspiration for how to quilt these hearts.  

2. 2026 Guild BOM: Finish October's block

I've already made good progress on this to do. All that's left is to sew the component parts together.  I should be able to finish that tonight at late night sew. 

3. Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter): Work on borders 

I've made good progress on the split HST blocks, and should finish those off this week. I decided to use square in a square blocks for the corners of that pieced border.  Those are under construction too.  It won't make finished quilt top this week, but maybe next week?  

4. Marigold Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Work on August blocks

Normally the August instructions for the Meadow Mist Designs mystery are just cutting instructions. Cheryl changed it up this year so that we'll cut as we go.  That meant I needed to finalize my fabric choices.  The black paint spatter is the background, the white dots is fabric A, which is the block background, the bright blue is the accent color and the dotted fabrics are the "scraps" for the blocks.  I plan to mainly use the fat quarters, but have the scraps if I need a good accent for a block.  The pin dot fabrics are left overs from another project.  

5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue to work on teal blocks

I need to check how many more teal blocks are needed to finish out that color.  It will probably take most of the month to finish out the teal blocks. 

That's my list for this week. It's pretty doable.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.  

Time LIne of a UFO

Last week was appointment free and so is this week. So I'm looking forward to not only getting lots of stitching done, I'm hoping to make progress on a few household chores that I've let slip lately. But I won't get carried away on the chores front, those are amazingly easy to put off till another day.  

On the other hand, it's been so much easier to stick with my stitching plans, most weeks anyway.  My goal the last few years has been to clear out my UFOs.  I have a lot of them.  Good Fortune is the latest UFO to finally get it's turn to become a finished quilt top.  GF was the 2018 Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt.  In 2018, My Girl was off at college, so we were past all the weekend high school activities, but I was still working full time.  Good Fortune was my 6th BH Mystery.  I had my fabrics picked early in November. 

We were actually home that year for Thanksgiving, family came to us, so I was able to start the mystery quilt that weekend after Black Friday, Bonnie's typical kick off day for the mystery.  The challenge of a BH mystery is there is one clue a week. I've always admired those quilters who finish the clues that week. I've never been one of them.  Based on my photos, I kept up till the third week.  Then the holiday or work, most likely both, got busy.  I played catch up the week after Christmas. 

 

By December 31st of that year, this is where I was on clues 1 to 6.  By the middle of February I had finished approximately 2/3 of the blocks I planned to make. 

Then for some reason Good Fortune went into a project box.  Which is pretty typical for most of the BH mysteries I've done.  Then they sit in that project box for a while. This one waited for 7 years before I pulled that project box, took stock and started piecing on it again in May.  Yesterday, I got all the blocks and sashings sewn together. 

When I pulled these blocks out of the project box and put them up on the wall, I wasn't sure I liked it.  Now that the blocks are all sewn together, I do like it.  The project still needs borders before it's a finished quilt top.  In an effort to use up the fabric that was already cut, two of the borders are going to be pieced.  One with short strips, the other with what I've been calling the split HST blocks. 

There are still a lot of these border blocks left to make, but I'm hoping most of them will be finished by the time I get the two narrow borders added.  The plan is to have this project to finished quilt top by the end of the month. That should be doable.  Then it goes onto the to be quilted list.  I have 4 graduation quilts that come first, plus a whole lot of other quilt tops.  Not sure when the time line on this particular UFO will actually end.  It probably won't be this year.

July PHD Report

July felt like a month of medical appointments.  Physical therapy twice a week and then several appointments to address the tooth pain that was keeping me up.  Even with all the disruptions, July was a pretty good month on the PHD front.  There is another finish to link up with Ms. P Designs for the July PHD report.  

This is my third finish for the year.  I had hoped to have more finishes by this point in the year.  Learning to quilt has been a slow process, but I'm getting better and a bit faster there.  Finding a long arm quilter took a bit of time, but now that I have that option, hopefully I'll make more time to get quilts ready to go out for quilting.  I would really like to make a dent in the projects hanging in the to be quilted closet.  

 

My July finish was the 2025 Guild BOM quilt, which as been renamed to "Ansley's Palette".  This quilt is a gift for one of My Girl's college buddies. This is my second quilt using the Inverted Star block and it was my first effort at being responsible for the guild's BOM program.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  

 

All the blocks are finished for Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter) and quilt assembly has been started. This should be a finished quilt top by the end of August. 

Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter) has been progressing steadily all year.  All the blue blocks are now sashed and a few more teal blocks are finished.  The hope is all the blocks are done by the end of the year.  Hard to tell at this point if that's going to happen or not.  

Glowing Hearts (Sandra Walker) is the next project to be quilted with the walking foot on my sewing machine.  The backing, the batting and the top are now all prepped.  I've selected the threads to use, though I've not decided on the bobbin thread as yet.  I need to baste the layers together and decide how I'm going to quilt those hearts.  It would be nice to keep my a finish a month going into August. We'll see if that works out.  

There wasn't as much progress as I had hoped for the 2026 Guild BOM.  The block for August was finished and shown at the July meeting.  I did finish the November blocks, which are just 4 patches for one of the pieced borders. It was fast and easy to cut the strips for those. The plan was to finish the September and October blocks too.  But I didn't get that far. I did finally work out what pieces I need to cut from each fabric for those blocks. Hopefully I can get that done soon. The September block has to be ready before the next guild meeting, so it has to get done sooner rather than later.  

The final two borders were added to Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter) early in July. It's now a finished quilt top hanging in the to be quilted closet.  It's always nice to finish piecing last year's mystery before the next one comes out. 

July was a productive month. In addition to the finish, another project is prepped for quilting, another became a finished quilt top and a fourth project had all the blocks finished.  

My project progress sheet is starting to show more color, especially in the quilt blocks to finish category. I'm hoping to see more color in the quilts to finish block, probably not by the end of next month, but certainly in September.    

To Do List for the Week of 8/4/2026

We got a nice cool off for the weekend, but we are back to summer heat the rest of the week.  So the sewing room will continue to be my preferred afternoon hang out.  Last week was a good one on the sewing front,  finishing a quilt is always a nice accomplishment.  Even better, I didn't have to neglect the rest of my to do list to make that happen.  

To Do List for 7/28/2026

1.  2025 Guild BOM: Bind quilt ✔

2.  Glowing Hearts: Prep quilt and assemble quilt sandwich - progress

3.  2026 Guild BOM: Cut fabrics for remaining blocks ✔

4.  Good Fortune: Continue to assemble quilt ✔

5.  Wild and Goosey: Continue making teal blocks ✔

I didn't quit get the quilt sandwich made for Glowing Hearts, but I did well with all my other to do items. To be honest I spent a lot of my "quilting time" finishing up the binding for the 2025 Guild BOM. It was a very good use of that time.  This week will look pretty much the same but with the addition of an old UFO project to the list. 

To Do List for 08/04/2026

1.  Glowing Hearts (Sandra Walker): Finish sandwiching quilt, start quilting. 

I've picked all but the bobbin thread for the quilting part.  I need to review the sandwiching videos again before I start that process. It's been a couple of months and I haven't done it enough to have any muscle memory on that task.  

2.  2026 Guild BOM: Make September's block 

All the pieces are cut for the last two blocks.  I've already started assembly of the September block. Hopefully it will go quickly and I can get started on October's block before the end of the week.  

3. Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter): Continue assembling quilt

Five of the seven rows are assembled, so more than half way to having that finished.  Next will come the borders, which always take longer than I think they should. 

4. Celtic Solstice (Bonnie Hunter): Work on chain blocks 

With Good Fortune moving closer to a finished quilt top, it's time to pull out the next UFO that needs the blocks finished.  Celtic Solstice is my last BH mystery that needs the blocks assembled. I pulled out the contents of the project box.  I still need to take a hard look at what pieces I need to cut.  We'll see how far I get on that this week. 

5.  Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue to work on teal blocks

Only 15 more of the 3.5" teal blocks are needed to finish out this color.  I doubt those all get made this month. It really depends on how much other sewing I get done.  

It's a pretty doable list as most of what is required is just progress.  I have no external appointments this week, so hopefully that means it will be a good week for progress. 

Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.  

To Do List for the Week of 7/28/2026

We were home most of this week and with the triple digits outside staying in my sewing room seemed to be the best option.  I did get a lot done, it just doesn't feel that way.  

To Do List for 7/21/2026

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Make binding and label - progress

2. Glowing Hearts: Piece batting, prep backing ✔

3. 2026 Guild BOM: Cut fabrics for remaining blocks - progress

4. Good Fortune: Continue to assemble quilt ✔

5. Wild and Goosey: Continue making teal blocks ✔

Only three check marks, but there was progress on all 5 to dos from last week.  I'll take that.  The goal is progress, and that happened. It's pretty much the same list for this week.  

To Do List for 7/28/2026

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Bind quilt

The binding strips are all cut, they just need to be joined together.  The plan is to use my time at late night sew to get the binding sewn to the quilt.  I have a lot of hand stitching to do for this to get done this month.  

2. Glowing Hearts (Sandra Walker): Prep quilt top and assemble quilt sandwich. 

The quilt backing and the batting are laying on the My Girl's bed waiting for the top to be prepped.  I haven't completely figured out how I'm quilting this one.  Once the quilt sandwiching is done, I'll need to commit to something.  

3. 2026 Guild BOM: Cut fabrics for remaining blocks

I did get the fabrics cut for one of the blocks and actually got that one assembled.  That leaves the last two blocks.  I finally sat down and looked at what I needed for both, so I can optimize my strip cutting. I'm getting low on fabric and I don't want to run out.  

4. Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter): Continue to assemble quilt. 

The third row is under construction, just 4 left to go. This project will take a back seat until I can finish up the 2025 Guild BOM.  There will be progress I'm sure, but it probably won't be a finished quilt top by the end of the week.  

5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making teal blocks

I need to cut some additional teal triangles because I'm running a bit low on that color.  I'm just a bit over halfway done with these blocks so I still need lots of scrappy triangles.  

If I can move each to do along a bit, it will have been a good week.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

A Bit of This and That

We had a pretty quiet weekend. After all the running around last weekend, that was definitely on my agenda for the week.  We hit triple digits both days of the weekend, so hiding out in my sewing room was definitely my preferred retreat from the heat.  

In an effort to work down my UFO list, I finally found a local long arm quilter to try.  My Girl needs a few graduation quilts for school buddies, so I'm trying get those finished before everyone graduates this year or next.  Last year's guild BOM has been picked as one of those quilts to be gifted.  So I gave the new to me quilter a try. The quilting turned out beautifully.  Now it just needs to be bound. But before the binding it needs a label.  After a bit of back and forth with My Girl, this is what we came up with (minus the personal message). 

This friend enjoys painting as a hobby.  Since the quilt has all different colors in it, My Girl decided it was a good substitute palette.  So I went with it.  I'm hoping to have the quilt bound before the end of the month. Which means I need to do a lot of hand stitching this week.  

There was also good progress on assembling Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter).

The the sashing has been pinned to that third row, I just need to stitch that long seam. So I'm close to another finished quilt top. My 5th finished top for the year.  Which will bring the total of tops hanging in the closet to be quilted to 15.  The long arm quilter did a good job with the 2025 Guild BOM at a reasonable price, so I'll definitely be using her again.  I already have the next quilt top and a potential backing selected for the next quilt to be sent out. Hopefully I can finish 4 more quilts this year between the new long armer and my at home quilting efforts.  That would take the UFO list lower than it's been in a long time.

To Do List for the Week of 7/21/2026

We were in Dallas for the weekend, so I didn't get much sewing done. I worked a lot on the instructions for this year's Guild BOM, so that was my "stitching" activity for the weekend. That wasn't on last week's list, but it needs to get done.  There was some good progress on last week's to do list before we left.  

To Do List for 7/14/2026

1.  Glowing Hearts: Piece batting, start quilting - progress

2.  Guild BOM: Assemble August block ✔

3.  Good Fortune: Continue to work on blocks ✔

4.  Wild and Goosey: Continue working on teal blocks ✔

Three check marks and a progress is a good for a week with no weekend sewing room time.  I'm not sure how well this week is going to go.  The upstairs air conditioner quit cooling last night.  My sewing room is upstairs.  Temps are supposed to in the low 90s the next few days, but that's still a bit warm to be sewing in. I can sew at the local quilt shop or set up an alternate location downstairs. It depends on when we can get it repaired. With 100 plus temps the last week, it's not the easiest time to get someone out to look at an air conditioner.  Here's my list for this week, it probably won't all get done, but why not dream big. 

To Do List for 7/21/2026

1.  2025 Guild BOM: Make binding & label

  

I picked the quilt up from the shop yesterday. It needs to be trimmed, plus the label and the binding need to be made.  This quilt is a gift for one of My Girl's college buddies, so I sought her input for the binding.  Since this is a rainbow quilt, we decided on a rainbow binding. I tried to stick with dark to medium fabrics, hence the absence of yellow. I'm pretty sure the binding will get made, but since I won't have access to my big cutting table for an unknown amount of time, I'm not sure when this quilt will get squared up so I can sew on the binding.  

2. Glowing Hearts (Sandra Walker): Piece batting, prep backing

I have two large pieces of batting left over from the piece I used for Chilhowie.  If I sew those together, I'll have enough for Glowing Hearts.  I'll probably get the batting assembled. If I'm out of the sewing room till next week, prepping the quilt back won't happen.  

3. Guild BOM: Cut fabrics for the remaining blocks

August's block was shown at the guild meeting last night, so I can share that.  The plan is to start working on the remaining blocks.  If I can get all the block parts cut while I have each fabric out, it's much more efficient.  It would be nice to finish August with all the blocks finished so I could start quilt assembly.  November will be here before we know it!  

4. Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter): Continue to assemble quilt top

The first row of blocks have been sashed, but they aren't back up on the design wall yet.  Fingers crossed this will be a finished quilt top by the end of the month.  

5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making teal blocks

I haven't counted how many more teal blocks I need. A little over half the blocks were made as of last week and only a couple more were finished during the week. So still need quite a few more before all the teal blocks are finished.  

It's an ambitious list. It would be even if I was sure of access to my sewing room. I'll be happy if even a little progress happens for each project. Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday when it's posted.
