English Paper Piecing – Quilts & Adventures

To Do Tuesday #182

Welcome back my quilty friends. I hope everyone in US enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend. Here in the PNW it was a beautiful weekend. Well until Monday when we had the normal rain. My daughter was off camping with her husband of one year. Hard to believe they have been married a year. I hand the grand fur babies to keep an eye on. Since they are cats, they are easy. They greeted me with lots of love even though they prefer mom and dad.

While I had all these great plans to sew this weekend, I ended up spending the weekend reading. I finished 3 books over four days. I am almost caught up with my reading goal of 2026. I want to read/listen to 100 books this year. Before I started my weekend, I had TWO quilt zooms on Friday! I also spent most of Monday english paper piecing. So excited to share the results with you.

Welcome back my quilty friends. I apologize for missing last week’s post. The week got away from me as real life interfered. Part of that real life was not one but TWO quilt zoom days. I am excited to share what I worked on with you!

But first – I am planning on linking up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt this week for the To Do Tuesday. As always, I invite you to visit and see what everyone is working on. Better yet, join us.

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.

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!

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.

Welcome back my quilty friends! Hard to believe Christmas is upon us. I am looking forward to spending time with my daughter. We have lived in different states for over 10 years. Now we are in the same town. I feel like I hardly see her because we are both living our best lives. LOL! Being so close now, we don’t make the time to spend with each other like we did when we lived 3500+ miles apart. I am sure you can relate as well.

I started a new thing since we lasted chatted. I have made a mindful decision to go UPSTAIRS to my sewing studio at least once a day for at least 15 minutes. I have also told myself, I don’t have to sew if I don’t want to but I NEED to visit the studio.

Where did the time go? I can’t believe that another week has gone by. I am trying to think what I have done this week. Doesn’t seem like much. LOL! I ended up getting caught up in reading and probably read 4 books this week instead of hitting the sewing room.

Despite that, I did make it to the sewing room once this week and worked one night on my English paper piecing. I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Check it out!

Being on the road so much this month is really messing with my blog schedule. I apologize but let’s see if I can get us caught up.

I just got back from a week at Zephyr Cove on Lake Tahoe for my annual quilt retreat with one of Quilt Zoom groups. We had a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. I don’t have very many picutres because I wasn’t outside very much. I was working hard at the sewing machine.
