To Do Tuesday #17

July just flew by! I can believe how quickly it went. I didn’t feel like I was gone that much but in reality I was gone for half the month. My biggest trip being to Utah for the Gammill Summit for long armers. It was awesome to meet so many people. My creative juices are just flying. So much inspiration!

Today is my daughter Caitlin’s 28th birthday! How quickly time flies!

To Do Tuesday #16

Hello Everyone! Can you believe it is July already?! Wow that is fast. Summer just began and here we are in the middle already. Today people are here cleaning my solar panels and my windows. Unfortunately they left the door open and so far I have only seen 2 of my 3 cats. But if they are in hiding, it could be a while before I know if someone escaped before I closed the door. Luckily this is their normal naptime.

I will be linking up with Texas Quilt Gal for this week’s To Do Tuesday. See above for link

To Do Tuesday #15

Welcome Back! I just got back from a vacation to Washington state which included camping at Olympic National Park on Lake Crescent. I am getting too old to be sleeping on the ground and being such a long ways from the bathroom. It’s amazing how inconvenient it is to have to go potty multiple times during the night. Luckily my tent mates were too tired to hear me zipping in and out of the tent multiple times during the night. LOL!

To Do Tuesday #14

Hello Fellow Quilters!

It has been a few weeks since I posted. I was overly optimistic about having energy to quilt while my brother was here. I love my brother and it was awesome spending time together – just the two of us. Several people left comments that they did not know how I was going to find time to quilt. LOL! Yea, that didn’t happen.

To Do Tuesday #12

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you have had a great week. Here is San Jose it has been nippy for May. I had a nice Mother’s Day with my son Steven. He took me to dinner and a movie.

Happy mail arrived today – my Alison Glass fabric! Whoohoo!

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.

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.

QUILT DIARY: Under the Needle in February 2021

Same as in January, I have focused mostly on my free motion quilting and have really neglected my other sewing projects. You throw in a trip to Florida the last week of February and I really shut down my own progress. #sigh I apologize for the week late post.
