I'm joining Linda at Texas Quilt Gal and some other hearty bloggers to commit to a to-do list and be accountable. Are you with me?
And if you read Linda's post this morning, you will already know that I was a winner during her stop on the Get On Board Blog Hop. My package arrived yesterday. Such fun packaging. At the top of the box was a sweet note

| Aren't the truck and pumpkins the cutest? |
and a decorated bag, for packaging. I didn't get a photo, is was snatched up by our daughter and immediately became inspiration for her Soul Collage cards.
The charm pack and the pins in a pretty gift bag.
Then I had to slip the charms out of their packaging and pet them a bit! Such cute prints and soft colors.
Thank you again, Linda and Melva and Brenda for the fun Blog Hop in celebration of National Sewing Month. And to the sponsors /partners for the wonderful giveaway gifts.
Now on to business!!
Last week I had 5 things on my list! And guess what? I did NOT get all of them done!
Last week. 9-12 to 9-19
✅ 1. Make as many string blocks as possible: the end of the month is in sight! I need at least 48.
There are 37 here. If you are following my OMG Progress post, you probably noticed that I got a bit ahead of myself. I had 19 string blocks completed before this batch. But only 4 of them were string blocks with a cream center diagonal. So now I have 41 blocks toward this particular quilt. I need 48 for a 6X8 setting and would kind of like to have 7 X 9, so need 63 to make that happen. I'm not sure I have enough of the cream fabric. I have cut it all, so I will make blocks til I run out of that.
✅ 2. Actually start on a Table Scraps project.
This is all you get to see.......it's started!
✅ 3. Keep stitching Boo Crew!
Last week I was working on the second O (the witch's caldron). Now the C is done and the R is outlined!
✅ 4. Get binding ready for PopStar.....the quilter will take it , Thursday, the 22nd.
It's ready and Marva will take the baby quilt this Thursday and get it quilted for me.
X 5. Begin cutting fabric for Alycia's QOV Mystery. Does getting the fabric to the cutting table and measuring the piece of white from your stash count??? Not really!
Next week. 9-20 - 9-27
1. Keep on trying to get that tub empty!!!
2. Cut the fabric for the QOV Mystery
3. Keep stitching on Boo Crew.
4. Start looking at possible patterns for the charm pack I won!!
Congrats on your win! And ooooh! That's a pumpkin isn't it??? I made a bunch many years ago and because the fabrics got outdated, I finally gave them away. I keep seeing ones this year that have me inspired to make more--and especially in blue to go with my blue pumpkin hangup I seem to have at the moment! Anxious to see your finish!
ReplyDeleteI was so glad when I read Linda's post anouncing your were the winner. Congrats Judy and have fun with your gifts. Are you making a blue pumpkin?
ReplyDeleteRemove the central string of those 15 without the central cream string and add it to them. Have a great week!
That is a fun win - congratulations, Judy! You're doing great on your string blocks, too. I bet if you needed to substitute in a different cream solid for the center in a few blocks just to get up to 63, it wouldn't be noticeable. It's Table Scraps week already - hard to believe! We are in the airport waiting to fly home from Oregon - once home I'll have to write a few blog posts!
ReplyDeleteI did see you had won and cheered for you. That is so awesome. Congrats. Those string blocks sure are coming along really well and. of course it counts in a project getting the fabrics out!
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! Congrats on the win of such cute fabric. I can hardly wait to see what you decide to make. Boo Crew is coming along nicely. Good luck with this week's list! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed your win! LOL on your daughter snatching up the packaging. You are doing great on your strings and hmmm is that a pumpkin? Love the fabrics. Your Boo Crew looks great. Thank you for sharing with To Do Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued as to what your item is!!!
