To Do Tuesday #37

 

Last week’s  list:  April 20th  to April 26th

1. Finish table runner and post. ✅.      My post is here and below is a final photo.

2. Trace some of the designs for Crabapple project! ✅  

This is the center verse. Hard to get a photo of, because the tracing is brown pigma pen. It says:

I will create a beautiful world of fabric & floss.

Peaceful and joyous.

Calm hours filled with the sound of my needle and thread as I stitch

The small designs are mostly 2” x 2”, but some are slightly bigger and rectangular. If you want to see the whole project it at Crabapple Hill. Here is the link to the finished project. When I checked this morning, it was still available. 

3. Sew some seams on Follow Your Own Path.   Not done! 

I got interrupted by a squirrel. 

My quilter got Heartland done. Here it is ready to trim. 

And I started hand stitching the binding on. The pattern calls for an "economy binding" in order to get the top and binding out of 3 yards of fabric. I did it, but I am not fond of it. Then last night as I was approaching corner #4, the miter did not work. So I spent nearly an hour "unsewing" the binding so I could re turn the corner.  I will hopefully complete that today. I will donate this quilt to CiL, so I need to finish it, run it through the wash and get it in the mail to Kat!

4. Piece a backing for Garlic Knots. ✅

My Garlic Knots, a leader and ender project from a few years ago.

It has a lot of dark reds and burgundies and rusts in it.  I had some donated yardage that when pieced looks great I think. 

It's some coordinating fabrics. A print, a stripe and a gingham. Boy, the gingham doesn't photograph well indoors! I think I have decided to send it to my youngest granddaughter's fiance to celebrate his college graduation. He doesn't want all the pomp and circumstance....but a gift might be appreciated. 

To-Do for April 27th  - May 3rd

1. Check out the new color for May at So Scrappy!

2. Decide on OMG for May and write a post. 

3. Maybe retrieve my sewing machine and pick up the truck we bought in RC.

4. Sew some Follow Your Own Path blocks, if I get my machine back. 

5. Add some strips to the embroidery, so they will fit in a hoop and start the stitching. 

I'll be linking up with ChrisKnits and friends today. 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy
