My Weekly Goals – To Do Tuesday #63
Chris at Chris Knits is now hosting the weekly To-Do linky party and it’s always fun to go see what everyone has done and are planning To-Do.
Last week’s list:
1. Assemble my scrappy batik blocks to a flimsy. Rows are finished. Just need to press and assemble the rows.
2. Keep working on a leader/ender project with my 2 1/2” scrappy squares. Some progress on an ongoing project. 😉
3. Work on RSC blocks; purple this month. Did not quite get these finished. 😢
4. Finish writing my pattern for the Seaside Adventure Row Along. Pattern is written. Just need to do test blocks again. 😉
5. Hopefully get away to finish some quilts on my longarm 😉 Arrived at the studio Saturday evening. Temperature was 40 degrees Celsius at 8:00 pm. 😅
6. Be more diligent at avoiding squirrels. 🐿🐿

Quilt Schmilt 
You have things waiting in line, but no idling in your quilt room! You are making really good progress. When you look out your window, do you see little quilty squirrels with their little faces and paws pressed against the window?? Haha! Let the squirrels in!! 😀

So I am curious if this is a ferry you take regularly? Good luck with your projects, we’re only reaching 100 today (38 c) – feeling really cool. We’re in our apartment in Massachusetts (totally AC) but return to Maine on Monday (Peaks Island via Ferry) and it is supposed to be cooler….we have 2 in room ACs but it really isn’t pleasant when it is this hot!

I get to take the ferry when time and DH’s health allow for me to go to my long arm studio. If I’m lucky it’s once a month for 3-5 days. At this moment it’s 37 c and we have no air. 😉 It’s another day where I’m melting. 😅 I’d love to travel to your part of the world; Peaks Island. It looks wonderful.

Isn’t the water beautiful Nancy. It’s one of the things I love most about BC. Each lake has its own particular colour. Just loaded a quilt on the frame. Time for some long arm fun! 😉

Stay cool!!! Makes me glad I’m not at the farm this week – 114 yesterday and there are only 2 window AC units – kitchen and bedroom!! Love having central air here where it was only 100 yesterday! You are doing great at keeping track of and working on your goals!!

Hi Susan. It hit 50 Celsius at 7:30 in the shade outside while it was 99 Fahrenheit in the kitchen. Needless to say we are hiding out in the basement with no air conditioning but it is 10-15 degrees cooler down here with the longarm. I’m playing when my feet and ankles aren’t too swollen 😉

And I’m so glad you are tucked in a home with your ac!

Impressive how many of your UFOs only need quilting (and binding, of course). Playing with your longarm will get two goals accomplished.

Hi Roseanne. It’s almost 9:00 and it’s only 38 C on the deck but 102 F in the kitchen. Supposed to break tonight with clouds and electrical storms. The town of Lytton was evacuated tonight. It’s on fire. I’d love to get some of your rain 😅

Thank you Kate. It hasn’t been much cooler. We’ve set record breaking temperatures and so far one town has burnt 🥵, but I’ve been playing with fabric and machines every day so some progress has been made.
