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.

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.

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 🌥️

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.

To Do Tuesday #124

Whoo Hoo! I am finally back home. I love traveling as much as I love being home. For once, I actually slept better on the road then in my own bed. I wonder if that has anything to do with the mattress topper I had delivered to my daughters? 😝

I rolled up at my house Sunday night about 9:30 pm after spending the day driving from Vancouver, Washington to San Jose, California. I did a side trip in Salem, Oregon for a two hour shopping spree and a half hour lunch break when I filled up gas for less than $3/gallon. 🏆

To Do Tuesday #114

Welcome Back! We are have one of the hottest weeks of the whole year. It has been over 95 (and most of the time 100) for the past 7 days. Crazy weather. My first week of my October Temperature cottage will be all one color since it is rare to be over 92F here in San Jose. My house is going to be pretty though!

I will be linking up for To Do Tuesday with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt. Come take a look at what everyone is doing.

To Do Tuesday #113

Hi Everyone! Today is the first day of October. It is hard to believe we are in the last quarter of 2024. It just seems like yesterday I was thinking about all the things I wanted to do this year. LOL! I may have not done everything, but I have been busy.

To Do Tuesday #111

Welcome back to this week’s edition of To Do Tuesday where I share all the quilty projects I worked on this week. We had a very pleasant weekend and the week has been fall weather.

To Do Tuesday #102

Welcome to this week’s update of all things quilty that I have worked on for the past seven days. I have slowly readjusted to being home. Still feeling a little scattered but working in my sewing room for a few days has gone a long way to settling me down.

The biggest relief is the heat. We finally came out of the heatwave over the weekend and it has been a pleasant 75-80F each day. I don’t have to wait until almost midnight to take my 30 minute walk now. Although, I do find it refreshing to walk before I go to bed and get the blood moving.

I will be linking up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Please check out her blog.
