Good Morning Fellow To-Doers! Hope your week was satisfying! Mine was! Usually I stitch on my Year in the Garden blocks, on Thursday. That’s the day I meet with stitching friends. Last week, however I stitched the binding on my first H2H small Any Kid quilt! It’s done! I’ll work on December this Thursday.
May 2nd - May 8th.
1. Quilt more color sections on Precarious! ✅
I stitched several colors this week on precarious. Working from the middle outward towards each end I stitched, yellow, green, and blue. Doesn’t sound like much, but each section takes me an hour to an hour and a half.
2. Get binding attached to The Any Kid quilt. ✅
3. Keep stitching on DECEMBER ❌
4. Make House #5 for Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL✅. House 5 is done! I think it must be a Day Care!,
5. SPRING STAMPS SAL….stamp #3. Birds and Bees✅. In progress. There was some “frogging” done yesterday! Somehow, I read the one of the symbols for color incorrectly. I had golden leaves on that tree branch.! 😳
6. Get backing ready for Long May She Wave so she can go to the quilter.✅ I stitched the red sailboats into a piece 72X82. As I was stitching the halves together at the salvage edge in saw how dark and saturated the fabric was. So I decided to soak it in my washer. It didn’t bleed, but during the spin cycle( on gentle ), the cut edges frayed a bit. So now, when it is finally dry and pressed, I’m sure I’ll need to add some of the blue to get enough inches. My long armer likes 4” more on each side. So the width is skimpy. And find batting ❌
May 9-15
1. More Precarious!
2. Purchase batting for May UFOs ( Long May She Wave, En Provence, One Happy Girl!
3. Spring Stamps….make progress
4. Stitch on DECEMBER
5, Rainbow Neighbourhood = House #6….Red or bright green? Or dark blue?
Linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt. Hop on over to see what some other quilters are working on!
Hooray for a finished quilt! Good going on Precarious, too. Are you going to be keeping it? Enjoy your stitching this week, Judy!
ReplyDeleteI AM keeping Precarious. It's a favorite. And the quilting is less than stellar. I tease others about needing 3 glasses of wine before I will tackle free motion quilting, the straight line quilting on this on looks like I took my own advice. But I had NO wine during this quilting process!!!!! LOL
DeleteLoving the latest house and the binding on the kids quilt. yes don't we all hope that's what they do with the quilts we give them. I have never attempted such straight line quilting but I have heard that it is quite challenging to keep it all straight.
ReplyDeleteJudy congratulations on doing such a great job on your list and another finished quilt. Your house block is too cute. I admire your courage to do that straight line quilting on Precarious. I only do straight line quilting if I have the quilt on the longarm and can use my channel locks! Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday and I hope you are having another successful week crossing things off your list.
