My Weekly Recap & To Do Tuesday #127

It’s been a week around here with two days town trips for DH’s appointments and another change in weather with a couple of days of snow and then back to rain. The good news is that I still managed sewing time every day, but don’t have a lot that I can show yet. 😉

Last goals:

1. Keep working on my hand quilting, EPP projects and leader/ender projects. Some progress on several of these projects. I’ll get some new photos this week. 😃

2. When I get back to the studio next, make the time to quilt my version of A Roll of the Dice which is back on the frame.

3. Finish my second Heading North quilt, designed by Sandra of MMM Quilts. No progress.

4. Finish my post for I’m Kinda Sweet on You Blog Hop hosted by Joan from MooseStash Quilting. Done 😃

5. Keep working on my Dresden blocks and Double Wedding Ring quilt in between my other projects. Some progress.

6. Work on the last of the bindings that need to be stitched. Didn’t happen since I had left the last one at the studio. 😢

7. Start working on a new project for Little Green Apples Blog Hop hosted by Carol from Just Let Me Quilt. Fabrics were pulled, cut and sewing has begun. 😃

8. Keep working on my RSC Challenge blocks. The colour is pink this month so fabrics are being pulled from the scrap boxes. I have decided that my little Gnomes really do need some embroidery to highlight them so both blue and pink Gnomes are in my handwork pile to finish the embroidery before they go in to my new pouch.😃

9. Work on my SAHRR border once it is posted. This is one of my favourite QALs of the year and I enjoy working along with Quilting Gail and all of our quilty friends each week. Done!

10. Do not allow Sam or any of her squirrel friends to distract me any more this week. 🐿💕🐿 Samantha was able to distract me this week again 😉

This week’s goals:

1. Keep working on my EPP, embroidery and leader/ender projects.

2. When I get back to the studio make quilting my Roll of the Dice quilt the priority and get the binding put on. Still not able to plan a trip. Real life has some goings on.

3. Finish my second Heading North quilt, designed by Sandra of MMM Quilts.

4. Keep working on my Dresden blocks and Double Wedding Ring quilt in between my other projects. 😉

5. Work on the last binding that needs to be hand stitched when I get back to the studio.

6. Keep working on my project for Little Green Apples Blog Hop hosted by Carol from Just Let Me Quilt.

7. Keep working on my pink RSC Challenge blocks.

8. Work on my SAHRR border once the next prompt is posted. This is one of my favourite QALs of the year and I enjoy working along with Quilting Gail and all of our quilty friends prompts each week.

9. Do the new Project Quilting Challenge when it is posted.

10. Do not allow Sam or any of her squirrel friends to distract me at all this week. 🐿💕🐿

Stash Report

I like to link with Donna @ QuiltPaintCreate to keep track of fabric in and out of my stash.

• Fabric Used: 0 yards
• Fabric Purchased this week: 0 yards
• Fabric Previous Balance: 100 yards
• Balance in stash to use this year: 94 yards

* my goal is to lessen my stash by 100 yards this year. I haven’t managed to actually figure out how much fabric I really have in my stash so it just seems reasonable to keep working from stash. I have reduced my stash these past few years and really only purchase fabric if I need it for a particular project. 😉

* any fabric used from the scrap bins, was gifted or a prize; doesn’t count as stash!

PHD in 2023

Quilting Gail is hosting her PHD in 2023 Challenge again this year.
