Seems like last week was a blur! I’m joining Linda at Texas Quilt Gal and sharing my to- do list from last week. It was a short list, and I made progress on all four items. You can check out my progress , then log in to Linda’s Linky party to peek in some other blogger’s progress. Or link up your own!
| I’ve got lots of dark, brown scraps! |
I stirred the tote, when I put in a new bobbin. Still lots of darks, but every once in awhile a pop of orange or purple or aqua! I’m just reaching in and sewing the one I pull out. The only time I discard it is if the strip isn’t long enough or it the same fabric as the adjoining strip!
| As of Tuesday am, the 13th |
✅2. Half square triangles into a Zigzag Row. Done!
✅3. Finish the first O in BOO CREW and start the second O!

| The first “O” is complete. The second “O” is a caldron, almost done! |
I really need to think about finding a different hoop. This will press out, but it sure looks bad!
✅4. Give some thought to Light Blue and Pumpkins!!! For the Table Scraps Challenge
I have an idea 💡!
Next week's goals look very similar!
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy!

1. Make as many string blocks as possible: the end of the month is in sight! I need at least 48.
2. Actually start on a Table Scraps project.
3. Keep stitching Boo Crew!
4. Get binding ready for PopStar.....the quilter will take it next Thursday, the 22nd.
5. Begin cutting fabric for Alycia's QOV Mystery.



I'm loving your string blocks, Judy! There could be some of those in my future! The Boo Crew stitching just gets cuter.
ReplyDeleteI have a bag of floral strings that I don't know quite how to use. I can't even imagine them in a string block, it would be so loud!! But your browns are looking great!
ReplyDeleteGreat adition to the string blocks collectionm Judy. The other colorsis adding pretty acents to them, I love String blocks,
ReplyDeleteYour light blue zigzag row is looking very beautiful.
That cross-stitch will be adorable!!
ReplyDeleteThose string blocks look great, I like the idea of reaching in and taking what comes so long as its long enough.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finish on the cross stitch. I'm really enjoying seeing everyone's fall stitching! I might have to get back into it one of these days but ahead of it is always my quilting....and if I ever get pulled away from that, it's for knitting. Too many fun things to do!!
ReplyDeleteI like your dark brown scraps. That's a good idea, to just reach in and use the strip you pull out on strings. I spend way too much time choosing when I do strings, and yours look great! That Boos Crew is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with To Do Tuesday!
