To-Do #14

Well now, I guess it has been a few months since I participated in making a weekly to-do list...May I think.  And based on my current level of (lack of) productivity maybe it's time to give it a try again.  So this week I will be linking up over at Home Sewn By Us to share my goals for the week.

1.  Piece a fun little red, white and blue wall hanging.

What can I say, I'm just in a red white and blue mood.

2.  Start quilting the cat quilt.

 

I've had this one basted for a week or two now and I have my quilting plan all ready in my head.  It's just time to make it happen!

3.  Piece Christmas Coin blocks

I currently have two pieced and all the coin strips are pressed.  It's mindless sewing really, so there is no excuse not to finish this.

4.  Write a blog post for finished baby quilts.

All I need is good weather for pictures and a few spare minutes so that I can share these super fast and fun quilts with you.

Fingers crossed I'll be back next week to share all my progress!  

To-Do #13

I find myself still trying to get back into the groove of things.  Not much is happening during the week quilting wise.  I find Saturday afternoons and Sundays are were the quilting happens. 

Last Week's List:

1) Bind Flying Geese Quilt--done

Best thing about baby quilts...they are usually pretty quick to bind.

2) Photo shoot for Flying Geese and Mosaic Mystery Quilt--done

The sun was out in full force on my day off and I was able to take both quilts outside for some glamour shots.  I've posted about Mosaic and Flying Geese will have it's day this week when I host the TGIFF party.

To-Do #11

Its been way to long since I've made a list and checked it twice.  Just a week shy of two months...yikes!  But hopefully, I'm back on track and ready to get to work.  Just for giggles, lets review the last list I made, on March 10th I do believe.

1)  Keep on a'quilting Mosaic Mystery--Finished!
2)  Keep on a'quilting kid charity quilts--Mastered!  I think I ended up piecing a total of 5 more bringing the total made to 7.
3)  Make block 3 or Out West Quilt--Nailed it!

So even though I've slacked on my lists, I have been working.  But now it's time to laser in on things I need to do.

To-Do #10

To-do lists.  Sometimes if feels like a game of darts.  You can see the board.  You concentrate as you contemplate and calculate your throw.  And you land each little dart perfectly in the center.  Some times you drink a beer, blind fold yourself and just start throwing.  In those instances you either hit the board somewhere or nothing at all.  As long as you had fun...that's all that matters.  My list was a total drunkin game of darts this week.  But more darts ended up on the board then the floor.

To-Do #9

Last week's list:

1) Continue quilting (maybe to half way point) on Mosaic Mystery Quilt--progress

I'm definitely not to the half way mark, but I did manage to squeak in some quilting time with this one.  

To-Do #8

Last week's list:

1) Continue cutting on The Great Outdoors Quilt--progress

All the pieces are cut, except for the panel and two fabrics.  So this one saw some major progress this week.  But to finish this OMG by the end of the month, I still have some cutting to accomplish.

To-Do #7

Last week's list:

1)  Begin quilting Mosaic Mystery

This one isn't finished by a long shot.  I got the basting stitches along the outside edge of the border and stitched between the inside and outside borders.   

2)  Piece Out West Blocks--Done

I am happy to report that both color way blocks are complete!  It feels good to be able to put this tote up until next month.

3)  Start cutting on The Great Out Doors Quilt

No fabrics where cut, but the pattern is printed and I am ready to slice and dice.

This week's list:

1) Continue cutting on The Great Outdoors Quilt
2) Piece two child donation quilts
3) Quilt on Mosaic Mystery
4) Work on one of the two UFO challenge projects; Flying Geese Quilt or Floral Fireburst

To-Do Tuesday #6

Last week's list:

1) Baste Mosaic Mystery Quilt--Done

This one is just waiting on me to start the quilting.

To-Do Tuesday #5

Last week's list:

1) Finish piecing A Flower Bouquet--Done

It feels like I drug piecing this quilt out way to long.  I'm happy to say the top is finished, though not the best inside picture.  It will have to wait a little bit to be quilted, but I'm hopeful I can finish it this year.

To-Do Tuesday #4

Kind of an oopsie over here.  There was no to-do list last week.  Honestly, I didn't even tackle a thing on the list from the week before, so I just kind of let it slide to last week.  So here is my progress on the last to-do list.

Last week's list (technically from two weeks ago)

1) Trim and press all 100 HST blocks for the Gravity Quilt--done

This was like a two week effort, but happy to say all these 8.5" HST's are all trimmed up.  My quilting accountability partner, has her's all laid out ready to piece.  Time for me to figure my layout and join her.

To-Do Tuesday #3

Last week's list

1)  Piece the Mosaic Mystery Quilt's rows.--Done

I was able to get all the rows pieced together and even pinned to begin sewing.

To-Do Tuesday-#2

It feels good to be starting the year off right!  Although, starting something is usually pretty easy.  You're pepped.  You're ready.  You are going to do this!  It's the long term that sometimes trips you up.  I'm optimistic that us all being in this together, the long term is going to be easy.  Everything is better with friends.

Last week's list...

1) Work on and finish all of the instructions for the Mosaic Mystery Quilt--so close

This one was almost completed.  I got all the pieces except the diagonal blocks finished.  Considering the final layout was released last Thursday and I was basically starting at the beginning I will take this as a win.  I had a few mis-cuts that kinda slowed things down.

To-Do Tuesday #1

I've decided this year, I'm going to start checking in with Roseanne and Sue at Home Sewn By Us and their weekly To-Do Tuesday linky.  So I can instantly cross writing this post off the list...pat on back.  So let's take a look at what I think I might accomplish this week.

1)  Work on and hopefully finish all the Mosaic Mystery instructions to date (up to December anyway).  So far I have all the pieces cut and diagonals marked for each bit that has been released.  Now to find time to sew.
