To Do Tuesday #42

I was feeling a little under the weather a couple of weeks ago. Not actually sick, just not myself which lead to a lot of lazy days reading instead of quilting. But Monday found me back on track and ready to go! So last week ended up being fairly productive. I am splitting my time with my new online course Pattern Surface Design and quilting.

APPLIQUE DIARY: JUNE 2021

This post will be another fairly short post as I simply didn’t do anything until today for the past month. Really lost my mojo in the sewing room. I have been moping around here for weeks just not feeling it. My cats are very disappointed because they love to hang (and steal things) in the sewing room.

APPLIQUE DIARY: Update May 2021

Well this post should be short and sweet. After getting so many applique projects wrapped up last month, this month was a bit … slow (or unmotivated)

APPLIQUE DIARY: April 2021 Progress

I have a habit of doing all my headers before I actually write. You remember as kids the English teacher would have us do an outline? While developing my own style for this blog, I have discovered that it goes much quicker when I make a list of all the sections I am going to write about.

APPLIQUE DIARY: Where I stand in March

This month I did not spend as much time as I would like on my applique projects since I was bound and determined to finish my Christmas quilt (which got mailed last week). I did manage to eek out a little time for these fun projects in the past four weeks.

APPLIQUE DIARY: February Update and Changes

I’ve been busy with life this past month and haven’t made it into my sewing room as much as I would like. I tell myself to take a deep breath and let it go. Reminding myself that quilting in all of its forms is a stress reliever not a stressful hobby. Anyone else feeling me with setting your own goals to high. Well let’s get started on what has happened (or not) with my applique projects.

APPLIQUE DIARY: Just One January Finish so Far

Last week and weekend the weather was very distracting getting up to the high 70’s here in San Jose, California. It was better to be outside than in.

With focusing on trying to wrap up my Christmas quilt, my applique projects have not gotten all the attention they deserve. I did a regroup a few weeks ago to see where I was at and what steps were needed for my current projects.

APPLIQUE DIARY: December Finishes!

This past month has found me working on a number of things including my applique projects. I am close to finishing my current projects. I thought I was going to be able to start my Christmas projects, but that is not realistic so I have made a new pull of possible new starts that I will share with you.

APPLIQUE DIARY: Summer Applique Projects are Back!

I thought since I finally setup my Bernina 880 again, I would give you an update on my Machine Applique projects that I have been working on this past year. When Alison went to the Sewing Machine doctor, I went on a hiatus. My 880 is my preferred machine for appliquing and I have dozens of different color bobbins already wound. Here we go!

Quilt Diary: First APQResolution2020 finish!!!

This is a crazy world we are living in right now. I will keep my thoughts and views to myself as I know I think very different than most people on what is happening in the world today. So let’s move on to more fun topics – like Quilting!! Continue reading “Quilt Diary: First APQResolution2020 finish!!!”
