Quilts – Quilts & Adventures

To Do Tuesday #179

Not much to report this week. I was only home a couple days since I last posted and one of those was spent at the Portland Quilt Festival. I packed up and headed to Bend, Oregon for a long weekend. I walked a 5k race called Salmon Run while my daughter ran a half marathon and her husband Jannes ran a 10k. It was fun to hang out with them. We absolutely gorgeous weather.

I was having so much fun at the quilt retreat, I could not tear myself away from my sewing machine to write last week’s blog. So that means you will be bombarded with all that got done in a 6 day retreat (4 full days).

Yes. I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for this week’s To Do Tuesday linkup.

I was in the studio a few times this week. Sewing only happened on one of those days. LOL! I am still enjoying my time in the studio now that I have brand new lighting! So very nice.

Welcome back my Quilty friends! Oh my goodness. The Electrician was here this past week installing more lights in the sewing studio. He only got a third done and I can’t believe how much better I can see. Can’t wait until they finish all of it this week! Let there be LIGHT!💡 Also switching out halogen for led as well as yellow for white. So much brighter. I did not even realize how much I have been straining my eyes. So very nice! Okay, let’s talk quilting.

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

Welcome back all my quilty friends! I can not believe how fast this week went. I swear I was just doing this quilty blog. I didn’t get a lot of quilting done this week as I signed myself up for a sewing machine class for a machine I was interested in buying. It was two full days and I had a great sewmate. We laughed and swapped stories. I now have a new quilty friend: Loriann!

I will be linking up with Carol at Quiltschmilt for To Do Tuesday linkup this week. Swing by and check out all the lovely projects. Feel free to join us. It is a great group of ladies!

To Do Tuesday #174

Rolling into my second week of March feeling real good about what I got accomplished last week. How about you? I had a great Friday on a zoom call with my quilty friends. It was a good day hanging out with friends.

I plan to link up with Carol at Quiltschmilt for To Do Tuesday. Just go to her last blog post for the current link.

To Do Tuesday #173

Wow this week flew by! I can’t believe it is already Tuesday again. My calendar has been packed with “doing things”. Still attending a number of live Zoom seminars on various subjects which are interesting as well as meeting with vendors for my home as I gear up to do some sewing studio basic upgrades such as wiring and lights. Plus some shades for each of the sewing rooms. PNW is an interesting beast with the darker winters and the very light summers. When the sun shines, it is unbelievably blue skies. When it rains, we have some many shades of gray that nature provides that it could teach fabric & quilt designers a thing or two about color.

I will be linking up with Carol’s Schmilt To Do Tuesday again this week. Just click on Blog Post at the top of the page to find the link to To Do Tuesday for this week.

Rain. Rain. Rain. We are full on PNW winter now. We need the rain and the snow pack. I have not seen the sun often this past week, but it has peeked out 🌥️

It is here. ☔️. The rain has arrived here in the Pacific Northwest. We even had a little sleet yesterday. They said it would snow. I couldn’t see how that would happen. It is just not cold enough. The cool thing about the rain here is the sun often peeks out through out the day. 🌦️ So cool. I even seen the most amazing rainbows🌈

I plan to link up with Carol who is also in the Pacific Northwest just more North. Check out all the projects.

To Do Tuesday #170

Hello Quilty Friends! Welcome back. This week started off with a bang and ended with a crash. LOL 🐿️. I got totally distracted with other crafty projects. Good news is I finished a few things on my artsy to do list as well as making some progress on my quilty to do list.

I will be linking up with Carol again this week for To Do Tuesday. Check it out!
