To Do Tuesday #149

Hello Everyone! Hope July is relaxing. It has been a hot one here in Washington State this July but not as bad as last year. We are catching a few more hot days this week before dropping back down in the 70s (Yipee).

Since heat rises, the sewing room gets a little toasty even with the AC running full blast. Luckily I only have to worry about that a few times a year. The plan is to link up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday again this week. Some of the ladies have so very cool projects. Come check it out!

Oops! Has it been two weeks? Sorry about that. I got wrapped up with guests again. This time it was my brother Scott in from Brooklyn, New York. He stayed with me a few days before heading down to Corvallis to see his grandkids. It was awesome seeing him. It has been a year. The most exciting thing we did was do a hike at

It was a beautiful day for a hike – sunny & 70F. Only issue I had was that it said it was 2 miles but it was really 3 miles 🥾🤪. I survived. This hike is not an easy hike. There is a lot of elevation. I opted to go UP the steepest part and come down the sloping hillside. As always, coming down is harder than going up. Great hike though! Great company.

This week has found me settling into more normal routine except for the daily trips to do kitty chores for the honeymooners who are currently in Grand Teton National Park. It has been a heatwave here but all of us are mustering through. In my truck it hit a high of 99F. Today is way cooler. Such a relief after the past several days.

My friend Carol Schmilt who is our host for To Do Tuesday in British Columbia has also been affected by the same heat wave. Planning to link up with Carol this week. Check out the blog and the linkup for inspiring ideas.

Whew! What a chaotic two weeks! My daughter Caitlin is happily married and getting ready to two weeks of camping (and half marathons) with her new hubby at Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The wedding day went off without a hitch. It was great to see my grandson Shaun after almost six weeks. Here are a few photos from the wedding day:

With two quilt zoom days, I was hoping to have more to share with you. I only worked on foundation paper piecing on Friday. I meant to do some cutting over the weekend, but was distracted with other chores related to moving to a new home. LOL! Monday morning found me scrambling for things to do during my second quilt zoom day this week. A few that you will recognize and others that I worked on because they were unpacked.

I plan on linking up with Carole at Quilt Schmilt again this week for To Do Tuesday. Thanks Carole for hosting!! Come over and check out our small groups list of projects. Feel free to join in.

Another week has flown by and I am happy to share that I was in the sewing studio several times this week. Still only working on one project as I am still unpacking and organizing my space. Yet, it feels good to be sewing again.

I will be linking up with Carole at Quilt Schmilt again this week for To Do Tuesday linkup. Check it out.

Hello Everyone! Still a slow week in the sewing studio but I did make it up there. Still unpacking and organizing my stuff, but I had an opportunity to do a little sewing this week so I wanted to share with you.

While I haven’t done much, I thought I would go ahead and linkup with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Go on over and check it out!

To Do Tuesday #139

Welcome to this week’s edition of quilty things. Still moving in so not much happened until yesterday when I spent the afternoon in the sewing studio with my Covid kitties – Simba and Nala.

I will not be linking up with Carol this week because I didn’t really do any sewing this week, but please check out the linkup so you can see what others are doing!

To Do Tuesday #137

I don’t have a lot to share this week. I had my last Quilt Zoom day until after the move to Vancouver, Washington. Last week we started packing the sewing studio. On Monday I will be taking a trip to buy furniture and take some of my sewing stuff. We shall see how it goes.

I plan to linkup with Carol Schmilt at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.
