To Do Tuesday #176

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. 🏆

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.

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.

I will be linking up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday linkup. Come join us.

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.

Hello Everyone! Another week is in the books. Last week was spent in Reno taking a couple of classes at Quilt Festival before walking the floor. We checked out the vendors as well as all the quilts on display. I took a class from Laura Heine called Teeny Tiny Elephant Collage (class sample above). Check out what Mary Elizabeth and I got done in class.

To Do Tuesday #95

Hi Everyone! We are having a beautiful spring day here in San Jose. It is the high 70’s here and so pleasant with a blue sky. I am enjoying every minute of it. I visited my sister Dorothy in Modesto, California which can be very hot, but instead it was a beautiful day which we spent most of in her backyard. I loved the visit.
