To-Do Tuesday #13 And Weekly Progress Report!

 


I'm Linking up with Home Sewn by Us....Linky Party for To-Do Tuesday.  Roseanne and Sue host this party to help us be accountable. I think it helps me!


This weeks TO-DO List. 
October 27 - November 2

1.  Make more "fabric yarn"    ✔️
2.  Make two more Heartland Blocks   ✔️
3.  Make a zip bag for a travel jewelry pouch    ✔️
4.  Bonus:  a yellow/gold string block   ✔️


#1   Fabric Yarn to crochet another rug!


A heaping basket and another partial tote. I sew the strips end to end overlapping with a forward, backward,forward stitch. My preferred size is less than an inch wide. But, I'm flexible. In the big scheme of things, it doesn't matter if they are 1" or 1.25"  Much bigger is hard to crochet, they go in the string block bucket!


That big mess became this!  This will go with me on our road trip. I can crochet in the car. I cannot embroider in the car. 



#2. I had 5 Heartland blocks now there are 9. 



#3  Sew a zipper pouch for travel. 


You may remember I started sewing scrap of light neutrals. I made too many!  Some became the outside fabric for this pouch. I used this pattern.  String Block Zipper Pouch. I have used it before and I had a tote full of scraps and strips and interfacing and paper cut to size and even some odd zippers. It went together quickly. 



For the inside I used a tiny print that has been in my stash since I began to quilt. It's little flower buds. I bought way too much back then and have been trying to use it up. It works here. 


Bonus #4    One yellow string block. 


I have been doing string block sporadically for the last year......

I need more yellow, more aqua more orange. My green and blue are mixed of light and dark. No plan as to what these will become. I also have some that are multi colors......just waiting in the wings for inspiration. 


Next Weeks To-Do List
Nov 3 - Nov 9

1. More Heartland Block, maybe 4?
2. Sew a small zipper pouch.  You can't have too many!
3. Make Christmas fabric masks for Mr. Busy and me. 
4. Write November OMG post  and link to Elm Street Quilts. 



Until next time....
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy

    I love your string zipper pouch, Judy - that is a fun idea! I agree, you can't have too many zipper pouches! Crocheting a fabric rug is a great idea for traveling, too. How many of those fabric balls do you need?

    Lots of fun little projects; the rug seems like a great one for in the car, too! Good luck on the to-do's!

    The Heartland quilt is gorgeous. Strings, I don't know why I didn't catch on to how nice that is to use up fabric. Thank you!

    Hi Judy! Well, that is pretty darn clever making your own fabric yarn. I can't wait to see the crocheted rug!! Many moons ago I did a hook rug from 1" x 3" pieces of fabric. I just remember taking a strip of fabric and cutting them into small pieces. Great job on last week's list and good luck with this week's. I need to make some additional masks for myself. ~smile~ Roseanne
