To Do Tuesday #71

Hard to believe that American Thanksgiving is just two days away! I am looking forward to spending it with my sister and her family.

I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt again this week with this week’s To Do Tuesday LinkUP.

What Got Done This Week

It was a busy week of hockey. I was happy I got some time in the studio to work on my projects.

While I didn’t get as much done as I desired, I feel pretty good about the progress that I made.

• Attached rows 5 & 6 to the other 4 rows on Dorothy’s Double Slice Quilt as well as trim up row 7 blocks.
• Finished piecing the inner border and attaching to my Rainbow Half Square Triangle quilt. I even cut and attached top and bottom borders for the second border.
• I finished up the last four blocks of my leaders and enders project as well as pull out and started on the next four blocks using Tula Pink’s Daydreamer collection.
• Finished assembling the background of a Year in Words – Christmas
• Pulled out pieces had cut for the pieced border on the Sunshine Quilt. Decided to add some more colors so cut a bunch of 6 1/2 inch strips to be used with the piecing technique I learned at PIQF.

Afterthoughts

I am not sure if I have anything to really share this week. I have been thinking a lot about when I want to spend some quality time quilting my finished tops. My conclusion is that I am going to get on that after Christmas (LOL!).

While in Vacaville this weekend, I came across the outlet stores (which happended to be a couple of blocks away from our hotel.). I was so excited when I saw they had a Columbia and Merrell outlet store. While Shaun was showering Sunday after his last game, I ran over to the outlet stores. I was thrilled to find two amazing winter jackets (and a couple of fun pullovers) plus THREE pair of shoes. Everything was at least 50% off so I stocked up for the next five years. LOL!

I am not set for the snow at Whistler in December. I am so excited to wear my new finds that I might squeeze in wearing one of them to the rink at hockey weekend before my trip (just because I can).

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!
