To Do Tuesday – Quilts & Adventures

To Do Tuesday #198

Welcome back my Quilty Friends! I had a great week at Lake Tahoe with my Quilting Posse for the Studio B Quilt Retreat. This was our 3rd fall retreat we have attended. Such a gorgeous place to have a retreat. This year there was another quilt group there as well and we wandered by to see what they were working on. I love inperson retreats. I get so much inspiration! I will share more about the retreat a little later.

I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for this week’s To Do Tuesday Linkup. Be sure and check it out! To see other people’s projects, click on the linkup button on her blog. Then you can check out what others are doing for some inspiration.

Just got back from a trip to Paducah, Kentuckly where I spent three days at the National Quilt Museum. The purpose of the trip was to catch the Tula Pink Exhibit before it ended on September 15th. I tired really hard to miss the hot and humid summer weather in Kentucky. Total fail! It was HOT 🥵 all five days with a 95% humidity and mid 90’s each day. It was like walking in a sauna each day. The weather was very sapping. But I was grateful it wasn’t raining too as originally predicted. Take the win when you get it!

I was so excited to get to the museum and get my first glimpse of the Tula Pink Exhibit. Once I got there, I was pleasantly surprised to find the museum was bigger than I was thinking (but not too big). I made a decision immediately to just focus on Tula the first visit. I ended up getting a membership (plus it supports the museum) and come back for the next 2 days to catch he other exhibits and view again any part of the Tula quilts I needed more time with.

Welcome back my quilty friends! I was not sure if I would be sharing today as I did not expect to have any quilting time. I went to a cross stitch retreat and got back Sunday. Ended up my guild had a special Sit n Sew Zoom on Labor Day. I spent the whole day in my studio!

It has been a minute my quilty friends. Just to give you a heads up, the next 6 weeks is going to be crazy. I am gone as much as I am home. Hopefully I will get to share some of what I am doing with all of you.

I plan to linkup with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

Welcome back my Quilty Friends! Lots of Happy Mail this week to share. I did more prep work than sewing this week. Which is okay. I am making progress on WIPs and ended up starting another new project.

I plan to link up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday Linkup. Check out her blog at the link below:

To Do Tuesday #189

Not much to report in my quilty world this week. My sister was here for most of the week so I never made it up to the sewing studio. I barely got in my normal creative adventures. But I was so excited to spend time with her. Sadly she had to head home today.

While I do not have anything to share this week, I will still check in with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for this week’s linkup.

Hello my Quilty friends! How is your summer going? We have had a mild summer here in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The last few days have been much warmer hitting a high of 87F. Sitting on my back patio with the breeze blowing, it’s perfect. Hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July. Fireworks started here last week and continued pretty late on Saturday night. Luckily nothing since.

My daughter Caitlin and her husband Jannes were on a backpacking trip to the Three Sisters 🏔️ in Oregon. I had cat duty. I went over on Saturday evening to check on the furbabies and feed them. They were good for the most part. Fireworks were non-stop in their neighborhood. She lives a half block away from a park. I was happy to go home. So happy in fact that I could appreciate how much quieter my neighborhood was. LOL! 😂 🧨🎇

Welcome back my Quilty Friends! Still totally enamored with the World Cup. Our Northern neighbor, Canada, did fantastic with advancement to Round of 16. I have on our Southern neighbor, Mexico, on while I work on this blog. So exciting. I wanted to get in a little more time on my projects this last day of June. I had a goal of finishing 10 blocks this month which I managed to do. Surprise!

Intentions to link up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt again this week. Thanks Carol for continuing to provide this linkup. Be sure to check out the link if you want some inspiration.

Hello my Quilty Friends! Hope you are enjoying the summer and World Cup. Here in the PNW, we are currently experiencing another short heat wave before cooler weather and rain.

It has been exciting to follow the World Cup. Tomorrow the final group stage games start. I am hoping our Northern Neighbors can win their group, but even if they don’t they will move onto the Round of 32 knockout stage. So much fun watching all the big stars playing with my favorite being Messi. Such a humble man.

I am planning on linking up with Carol Schmilt @ Quilt Schmilt in British Columbia for another week of To Do Tuesday. Overall I feel pretty good about what I accomplished
