Sunday Summary #199

Hello and welcome to my Sunday Summary and To Do Tuesday List.

I’ve been sewing in between meetings and chores at the Golf Club and My Guild. Good thing I have two scheduled quilting days at the Guild this week (no phone or internet! Total serenity! 😁)

My Last To-Do Goals:

This Week’s goals:

Now it’s time for my new To Do Tuesday List:

1. Keep working on my EPP, embroidery and embroidery sampler. No progress 😢

2. Continue plugging away at the memory quilts for my son, granddaughters and Clarke’s family from a collection of T-shirts from my son, DIL and granddaughters and our Clarke’s clothing. Got a few more blocks quilted. 😁

3. Keep playing with the orphan blocks and goodies from Denise, with some additions from my stash, to use up more bits and pieces until those project boxes are empty. No progress 😢

4. Finish making the test block from my crumb blocks to see if my design idea will work as I had planned. I did get this project box out and played a bit. Now I need to keep making the blocks once I decide what background fabric to use. 😁

5. Get busy working on Gail from Quilting Gail’s Mystery QAL since it finished a while ago.. 🤩 Time was at a premium this week so I have to wait a bit longer; maybe my quilting days at the Guild this week! 🤞🏻

6. Keep working on the replacement green quilt 🤣 since I do have to gift it to our Treasurer at the Guild who is retiring next month and has been training me to do the job. Some progress on this one! I should be able to share a photo next week!

This little quilt needs to be 48” x 84” 🤔

7. Assemble the flimsy from these blocks and add on the border. No progress. 😢

8. Continue fixing popped seams and stay stitching the edges of the next bin of quilt tops for Liz’s project. Liz came down with the nasty cold virus that’s going around so I wasn’t able to exchange bins yet. I know she will be at the Guild for quilting days so I’ll probably have some photos of the first quilts I fixed for her! 😁

9. Try to finish my latest start that Samantha enticed me to make since we have a couple of quilting days coming up at the Guild and I’d like to take my Featherweight to play with. 😁

10. Do not let Samantha or any of her squirrel buddies side track me🐿🐿🐿🐿. ✅ I managed a check mark since Sam wasn’t able to get me off track! 😁

This Week’s goals:

This should be a good week with having two quilting days scheduled at the Guild. I have two complete novice quilters coming to learn to quilt; a lovely Guild member and her granddaughter. I’m thrilled at being able to share our love of this craft with new addicts people! 😉

Now it’s time for my new To Do Tuesday List:

1. Keep working on my EPP, embroidery and embroidery sampler.

2. Continue plugging away at the memory quilts for my son, granddaughters and Clarke’s family from a collection of T-shirts from my son, DIL and granddaughters and our Clarke’s clothing.😁

3. Keep playing with the orphan blocks and goodies from Denise, with some additions from my stash, to use up more bits and pieces until those project boxes are empty.

4. Finish making the blocks from my crumb pieces once I find the right background. I’m thinking that lovely grey fabric I just bought might do the trick. Just need to check it out in daylight hours.

5. Get busy working on Gail from Quilting Gail’s Mystery QAL since it finished a while ago.. 🤩

6. Keep working on the replacement green quilt 🤣 since I do have to gift it to our Treasurer at the Guild who is retiring next month and has been training me to do the job. 😭

7. Assemble the flimsy from these blocks and add on the border.

8. Continue fixing popped seams and stay stitching the edges of the next bin of quilt tops for Liz’s project if we can exchange bins this week.

9. Try to finish my latest start that Samantha enticed me to make since I’d like to take my Featherweight to use on Thursday and Saturday quilting days. 😁

10. Do not let Samantha or any of her squirrel buddies side track me🐿🐿🐿🐿.

Stitchin’ Time

Kate from Life in Pieces hosts a weekly linky party to help us keep to our goals of stitching every day. I just love her new logo!

I’m trying for at least 30 minutes a day this year and 1 hour at the end of the week to tidy up and deal with my scraps. I wasn’t really off to a good start, but it is getting better as things settle down in my real life time and commitments lessen. 🤔

• January 4/31
• February 2/28
• March 10/31
• April 12/30
• May 10/10
• this week 7/7
• Previous Total 31/123
• Total: 38/130
• Percentage = 29.23 %

I hope you all get to set and keep your goals for your Stitching Time and join Kate. 😁

Stash Report

I like to link with Donna @ QuiltPaintCreate to keep track of fabric in and out of my stash. If I can plan trips to the studio I expect my stash to be reduced terrifically when I start making backings for all of the quilt tops I’ve got to do. 🤩

• Fabric Used: 0 yards
• Fabric Purchased this week: 0 yards
• Fabric Previous Balance: 12 yards
• Fabric Purchased this year: 9 yards
• Balance in stash to use this year: 197 yards

* my goal is to lessen my stash by 200 yards this year. My goal this year is to use 200 yards of fabric from my stash. 😉

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

Design Wall Mondays

Judy, at Small Quilts and Doll Quilts, hosts a linky party for “Design Wall Mondays” every week.

I’m including some photos of my current WIPs;

My UFO and WIP List

Last but not least I have to update my UFO Speadsheet and then try keeping it up to date and so help with my accountability now that I have gone through everything in my storage room and sewing space. I’ve made some progress but still haven’t finished updating my list with my newly discovered/forgotten WIPs from my storage room bins and boxes. 😅
