To Do Tuesday #104

Hello Everyone! I am back from the quilt retreat. Whew! What fun we had at beautiful Lake Tahoe, Nevada. There was 26 of us from all over the United States. The quilter who traveled the fartherest was from Wisconsin. Lots of quilting and games was had every day along with lots of food and wine.

To Do Tuesday #102

Welcome to this week’s update of all things quilty that I have worked on for the past seven days. I have slowly readjusted to being home. Still feeling a little scattered but working in my sewing room for a few days has gone a long way to settling me down.

The biggest relief is the heat. We finally came out of the heatwave over the weekend and it has been a pleasant 75-80F each day. I don’t have to wait until almost midnight to take my 30 minute walk now. Although, I do find it refreshing to walk before I go to bed and get the blood moving.

I will be linking up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Please check out her blog.

To Do Tuesday #101

Hello Everyone! Hope all of you who are on the West Coast are surviving this Heat Wave. It has been following me around everywhere I go. I am currently in Vancouver, Washington and it is suppose to top out at 100F today. It will start cooling off here. Unfortunately, I will be heading home tomorrow to San Jose, where the heatwave is in its second wave. Beating the heat has been a challenge.

I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Come check it out.

To Do Tuesday #100

It is hard to believe that I have been posting To Do Tuesday for two years already. I know I have missed a week here and there. Crazy right?

This past week was a full schedule. I managed to get stuff done even with running around all week catching up on errands. Let’s take a look at what I did this past week.

To Do Tuesday #98

Hello from Reno! Here for the Reno Quilt Festival with my friend Mary Elizabeth. We are excited about the class with Laura Heine. We will be working on a Elephant Collage.

I will be linking up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt this week. Come take a look.

To Do Tuesday #96

We had a gorgeous Memorial Day Weekend where we remembered our veterans ~ those who lost their lives here and abroad in defense of this great country we live in. Thank you for your service. I appreciate my freedom with every breath I take. You are remembered!

To Do Tuesday #95

Hi Everyone! We are having a beautiful spring day here in San Jose. It is the high 70’s here and so pleasant with a blue sky. I am enjoying every minute of it. I visited my sister Dorothy in Modesto, California which can be very hot, but instead it was a beautiful day which we spent most of in her backyard. I loved the visit.

To Do Tuesday #94

Hello from Seattle! I meet the German In-Laws. As expected everyone was very nice. They have a packed schedule trying to squeeze in as much as possible in their trip. I gave them the potholders that I finished hours before boarding the train on Friday (😂). They seemed to be a hit. I got German chocolate in return from their hometown. I haven’t tried it yet, but I do love chocolate.

The plan is to linkup with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt this week.

To Do Tuesday #93

Hello Everyone! The sun is out and shining here after a weekend of rain. Love the clear blue skies. I am running around like a chicken with their head cut off as I am preparing for Amtrak trip to Seattle to meet my daughter’s future in laws. We were chatting and the mom really liked the quilt I had given her son and the other quilts that my daughter has of mine. She even asked if she could have one. I asked Caitlin should I bring one? She said they didn’t have room to get it home so probably not. So I sit here wondering should I take one anyway just in case? Should I make something small like potholders? Decisions. Decisions. I leave in 3 days. Whew!

To Do Tuesday #85

Hi Everyone! Just touching base with everyone with this week’s update on all my quilty projects. Hope this is a good winter day for all of you. Weather here in San Jose has been all over the place. Blizzards one day. 70F another. Just crazy. Here in San Jose we just got alot of rain. Today is a little overcast but I am seeing peeks of blue skies.
