My Weekly Goals – To Do Tuesday #52
Chris at Chris Knits is now hosting the weekly To-Do linky party. I enjoy seeing how everyone is using the party to keep projects moving along.
Last week’s list:
1. Get Delaney’s quilt and my SAHRR on the list for the next studio trip. Just waiting until I can get away. 😉
2. Finish my In the Kitchen Stitching Hop Project. Almost done!
3. Stitch the new test pattern quilt for Sandra at MMM Quilts. Flimsy is finished. Just a word of advice; don’t cut fabrics while reading the pattern on your phone. My printer ran out of ink so that’s what I was doing. I cut half of the fabrics for the throw size and half for the baby size. It resulted in a lot of scraps. See #6 below. 🤯
4. Work on the Panel Quilt Challenge. No progress this week.
5. Decide on fabric for the corners of the String Blocks. I have nothing in my stash that works. On line shopping or roadside pickup at a LQS time.
6. Try to avoid those squirrels. Didn’t happen. I got bitten by a squirrel when I had off cuts of scrappy goodness from my mistake.
This week’s goals:
1. Try to get away to the studio for a couple of days with the longarm to quilt Delaney’s quilt and my SAHRR, or one of my older UFO’s?
2. Finish In the Kitchen Stitchin’ project and write my post.
3. Work on the panel quilt challenge.
4. Get fabric ordered for the corners of my string blocks.
5. Continue working on a new project. (My bad 😉).
6. Decide what to do with these fun little bits that I made from my leftover off cut scraps.
7. Do better at avoiding the squirrels. 😉

Boy, you have a lot going on, and you are doing well. It’s been a bit slow here – I haven’t even written a post for today (nothing to show). We’ll see if I get one done! Enjoy your week!

Hi Carol! I’m so sorry you got the numbers confused on the test pattern. You are all set for the next SAHRR if you want, but I’m certain you can find a use for those pretties before that. I hope you find a little time to get to the long-arm! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

Your Sandra’s arrow quilt version is lovely! Sorry about the printer… Now you have some nice strips to play with 😉 Pretty batiks too.

Hi Frederique. Even mistakes can make some pretty projects 😉. The batiks are becoming blocks, too!

Those poor Squirrels get a bad rap! They’re just friendly little dudes. LOL. Hope you get your list items checked off this week! Thanks for linking up!

Lots of fun stuff in the works. Resisting those darn squirrels is just so hard sometimes. Congrats on all the stitching time!
