To-Do Tuesday Oct 2024

I have posted my WIPS-B-GONE list for the next 2 months. I have been sewing in the SonRoom off and on for the past few months. As long as I do not try to do too much, I can make slow progress. Hand work is not possible these days and those wonderful Wonderclips are just too hard on my hands. 

My quilting To-Do Tuesday list for this week is:

1. Churn Dash - sew up the prepped blocks. Not sure how many there. This is my Chookshed Challenge project.  
2. Put them all up on the big design wall and take pictures. 
3. Press the Wedding Quilt and make a start on those mitered corners.
   
   I had the whole thing out last week to see what to do. There are 3 borders sewn on that will be mitered all at the same time. The last 2 quilts I made with this pattern were mitered on border at a time. and what am I thinking? I have yet another Jinny Beyer border print quilt sitting on the sidelines waiting for me to start it. I will not be alone in that journey since I have 2 quilting friends making the same quilt from kits we bought on Craftsy back in 2015. No hurry. 
4. Blog more often. Life has settled down here on the farm into a nice rythym with the grandkids back in school. My Sweetie is the "Uber Eats" driver in the family. He makes breakfast for the girls and drives them to school 3-4 days a week and now also picks them up 2 nights a week since Elly is in rugby. That is a lot of driving. I did it all 2 weeks ago and am glad I do not have to do it all the time. Their dad started a new job a year ago and needs the help. Their school is 30 minutes from here. 

My OMG goal for October will be to have one completed flimsy ready for quilting. If I designate a specific one, you know I will work on the other one. 

Blessings,

Chris

WIPS-B-GONE 2024

 Leanne at Devoted Quilter has again issued the challenge to complete some projects over the next 61 days. I have chosen to work on the following. 

1. Churn Dash. This was a Chookshed SAL 2 years ago. I am using some old Robin Pandolph fabrics and several creamy solid backgrounds. There will be 63 blocks. This is also my Oct Chookshed Challenge project. 

2. Summer QAL mystery quilt from 2021. I have most of those blocks sewn together. Next will come a couple of borders if I can remember what I had been

thinking last time I worked on it. 

3. Macaron Mystery QAL. I have an oops to figure out before completing the side triangles. Then there will be a 1 inch black border, 3 inch creamy border and possibly 5 inch dark focus fabric border. I think I have enough of the creamy fabric for the backing. If not, I have wide back options. 

4. Wedding Quilt. I had the thing out last week to see what I have to do to get the 3 outside  borders mitered. My hands are not happy working with wonder clips or pins.  This is one of the inner borders that I had to redo. 

5. Dolls of the World jumped off the pile on the table in the corner of the Blue Room and said. "Hey! What about me?" So this is on the list. 

Remember the Cherries Quilt? I completed all the hand applique on this 100 inch square quilt from Sentimental Stitches back in 2020. I worked on it for 6 years. I found someone to hand quilt it for me. So excited! I will take it next week for her to get started.  

I have a couple of new projects I want to start. Let's see how long I can last waiting until I get some noticable progress on the above. 

Blessings,

Chris
