Hello everyone! I'm checking in at ChrisKnits with my to-do list. It's a great place to see what others are doing and to keep yourself accountable.
Last week. March 16th - 22nd
1. Binding off the Noah’s Ark ✅
2. Finish chicks mini. ✅
This little UFO is maybe 8 years old. I can’t even remember why I made the block, except maybe I was just attracted to it because the group I used to belong to is called the Quilt Chicks. And I had chickens in my kitchen at the time. Anyway it needed to be finished or tossed! So now it’s a small Kitchen Quilt.
3. Write Table Scraps post. ✅
That post is here and will be linked up this week.
4. Make fabric greeting cards ✅
I needed to send a Thank You card to Joyful Quilter for the black and white pinnie! I use instructions from No Scrap Left Behind by Amanda Jean Nyberg. I usually only do a couple at a time. A friend gave me some card stock and recently, while clearing out a closet I found a box of Mr Busy’s mom’s paper. There was some colored card stock in it. So that will be fun! Now I need to either buy some smaller envelopes or learn to make my own!
Last weekend we were at my sister’s house with my two brothers. Since her death, my brother, who is her personal representative, has been dealing the paper work and the beginning of cleaning out her house. We went over to help. My, that was hard! And there is lots of work left to do. But the reminiscing with my brothers and the finding pictures and her treasures was priceless.
This week's to do list: March 23-March 29th
1. Work on Easter Mini
2. Piece a backing for "Precarious"
3. Find a pattern for making envelopes. I know I saw one on Pinterest
4. Trace Crabapple Hill's SAL project!
5. Hang the artwork from my sister’s home.
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy
Looks like you reached back to the past to move along a UFO, well done! Prayers that your sister's items will bring joy and memories. Thanks for linking up today.
ReplyDeleteYour chick mini is adorable! So great that you finished it up after all this time. Reminiscing with siblings can be such an enjoyable experience, but I'm sorry for the reason for it.
ReplyDeleteI love your mini chicks quilt! Such a cute idea. I've been trying to make some fabric Christmas cards, but don't like the way any of them look so far. Any tips? I am trying to make the quilt block a good size for framing by the recipient. That's my problem. Well, that and bulk.
ReplyDeleteJudy, mini chicks quilt is cute, great that you decided for finished it, your kitchen is a happier place now.
ReplyDeleteMini chick's is cute.
ReplyDeleteIt is good you have the memory of that experience with your brotherd.
Hi Judy! You have inspired us to start doing jigsaw puzzles again. We are going to do a 2,000-piece puzzle that has four, 500-piece sections of Disney characters. We'll see how that goes. The Jewel pitcher looks lovely. How hard that must be going through your sister's things. {{Hugs}} Oh, my heart breaks for those Boulder families. It's just so senseless. I don't know what the answer is but we have to find one. ~smile~ Roseanne
