Sunday Summary #204

Hello and welcome to my Sunday Summary and To Do Tuesday List. My header photo is a shot I managed to get when DH went out to play. He managed 2 holes again 😁

I have to show off again:

My Last To-Do Goals:

It was another fun week, making some progress and having fabric fun time. As usual I forgot to take photos, but I’ll try to do better this week.

1. Keep working on my EPP, embroidery and embroidery sampler. No progress; hand stitching this week was all about binding! 😉

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. I’d really like to finish getting at least the blocks in this bag sandwiched and quilted. A bit more done. 😁

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 blocks from my crumb pieces. Made some progress on these; should have a completed block this week 😁

5. Get busy working on Gail from Quilting Gail’s Mystery QAL since it finished a while ago.. No progress 😢

6. Finish binding the green quilt by Saturday when I’m meeting Joanne. All I can say is I really don’t like the work involved in quilting on a dsm. I really miss visiting my longarm. 😢I’m positive that in the next week or so I’ll find the original green stacked cubes quilt top now that I’ve replaced it 😉 ✅ I finally have a finish to show. It’s completed and delivered and Joanne was very surprised 😁

7. Continue fixing popped seams and stay stitching the edges of the next bin of quilt tops for Liz’s project. I had a peek at some of the flimsies and it’s going to be fun to get in to these ones. I have one on my sewing table to get started on 😁

8. Do not let Samantha or any of her squirrel buddies side track me🐿🐿🐿🐿. ✅ I managed to stay on track and didn’t let Sam distract me 😁

This Week’s goals:

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

2. Continue playing at getting the blocks quilted for 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.

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

6. Continue fixing popped seams and stay stitching the edges of the next bin of quilt tops for Liz’s project. I had a peek at some of the flimsies and it’s going to be fun to get in to these ones. 😁

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

Just look at how short my list is getting to be since I’m behaving and not starting anything new. 😉

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 and commitments lessen. 🤔

• January 4/31
• February 2/28
• March 10/31
• April 12/30
• May 29/31
• June 14/14
• this week 7/7
• Previous Total: 64/158
• Total: 71/165
• Percentage = 43.03 %

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: 15 yards
• Fabric Purchased this year: 9 yards
• Balance in stash to use this year: 186 yards

* my goal is to lessen my stash by 200 yards this year. 😉

* 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. 😅
