To Do Tuesday #11

This week has flown by. I feel like I got a ton done. My list doesn’t seem to reflect my feelings. LOL! Probably because I have been working on some of my larger WIPs. I’m definitely on a feel good cloud!

On top of all of that, I decided to participate in an unofficial WIP challenge with one of my Instagram quilty friends @flyinggoosestudio (Jocelyn). She is challenging herself (and anyone who wants to jump in) to spend the next 50 days (May 1 – June 20th) working only on WIPs. No new starts.

To Do Tuesday #10

It’s been what I would consider a fairly productive week. While I did not quilt every day, I did little things on almost everything on my list as well as finish binding my Over & Under Quilt from 2017. I am a happy quilter!

To Do Tuesday #9

Whew! Went to post on April 5th and the website was not working. I tried a few things but needed to get ready for my vacation in Hawaii. Finally today, I found the right number and the right person and we seem to be back in business baby!

Honestly, I didn’t do a lot since I was in Seattle April 1st – 4th and Hawaii April 11th – 18th. I took stuff with me, but we were having way to much fun. I hope to post a travel post soon.

I saw there was two fabric stores in Kauai and I made it to one and purchased border and backing for two future Hawaiian quilts whose charm packs I picked up 4 years ago in Maui.

To Do Tuesday #8

How has your week been? Mine has been fairly productive. I worked on everything from last week’s list except one thing and even finished a lot. Feeling good. Last Friday was my Quilting Zoom Day with quilty friends. It was awesome and so motivating. Sometimes I wish we did it more often than once a month.

My orange kitties have been very helpful this week. Sitting on projects while I try to sew. Stealing my thread spools and pins. Even running around with thread and needles and scaring the crap out of me. Even now Simba is petting me while I am attempting to type. He has already walked across the keyboard multiple times. He is such a sweety when he is feeling helpful.

To Do Tuesday #7

This past week ended up being very unproductive. It was one of those weeks where I was very distracted by e-reader. LOL!

QUILT DIARY: June 2021

This week’s blog is very challenging. WordPress had an update and I am struggling with the changes. I even consider myself computer savy (LOL), but I have been working on this for an hour…. I usually like to use my Ipad to write the blog because it is so much easier to insert photos but I am back to my laptop in an effort to get this blog written and hope WordPress fixes the apple app soon. Hopefully you will still enjoy the blog.

QUILT DIARY: Update May 2021

I haven’t had a lot of drive this month to work on things. I have pittered around with a few projects but not my usual focus on getting things done.

QUILT DIARY: April 2021

Today I received a bouquet of my favorite yellow flowers without a name on the card with awesome words: Thanks are the highest form of thought and gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. The gift brought me much joy but left me wondering who I had helped enough to send flowers on a random Thursday. Of course, those gifts are the most appreciated because they are unexpected.

Quilt Diary: March 2021

My focus this month has been finishing up that Christmas Wedding Quilt that I have been working on forever. I especially wanted it done in March. It would be an understatement to say I was done! With that said, my other quilty projects have been neglected. Once I mailed off the quilt, I have jumped in with both feet trying to catch up on my other projects.
