To Do Tuesday #79

Welcome to this week’s edition of To Do Tuesday. I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmidt again this week. Check out the cool projects linked up.

Finish-A-Long DIARY: Qtr 2 2021

It’s hard to believe that another quarter has flown by. I had 28 projects on my list for second quarter of 2021. I finished four of those. They all happened to be applique projects but they are in use already and look beautiful. Let’s take a look!

APPLIQUE DIARY: JUNE 2021

This post will be another fairly short post as I simply didn’t do anything until today for the past month. Really lost my mojo in the sewing room. I have been moping around here for weeks just not feeling it. My cats are very disappointed because they love to hang (and steal things) in the sewing room.

APPLIQUE DIARY: Update May 2021

Well this post should be short and sweet. After getting so many applique projects wrapped up last month, this month was a bit … slow (or unmotivated)

APPLIQUE DIARY: April 2021 Progress

I have a habit of doing all my headers before I actually write. You remember as kids the English teacher would have us do an outline? While developing my own style for this blog, I have discovered that it goes much quicker when I make a list of all the sections I am going to write about.

Finishalong Diary: Quarter 1 2021

I really thought I would finish more things than I did, but I still finished 7 different projects this quarter out of 21. I feel good about that. I keep getting more organized as time goes on, so all is good!

APPLIQUE DIARY: Where I stand in March

This month I did not spend as much time as I would like on my applique projects since I was bound and determined to finish my Christmas quilt (which got mailed last week). I did manage to eek out a little time for these fun projects in the past four weeks.

APPLIQUE DIARY: February Update and Changes

I’ve been busy with life this past month and haven’t made it into my sewing room as much as I would like. I tell myself to take a deep breath and let it go. Reminding myself that quilting in all of its forms is a stress reliever not a stressful hobby. Anyone else feeling me with setting your own goals to high. Well let’s get started on what has happened (or not) with my applique projects.

APPLIQUE DIARY: Just One January Finish so Far

Last week and weekend the weather was very distracting getting up to the high 70’s here in San Jose, California. It was better to be outside than in.

With focusing on trying to wrap up my Christmas quilt, my applique projects have not gotten all the attention they deserve. I did a regroup a few weeks ago to see where I was at and what steps were needed for my current projects.

APPLIQUE DIARY: December Finishes!

This past month has found me working on a number of things including my applique projects. I am close to finishing my current projects. I thought I was going to be able to start my Christmas projects, but that is not realistic so I have made a new pull of possible new starts that I will share with you.
