Good news first. I am feeling so much better than last week at this time. I've stayed in my studio most days leaving Pat the upstairs. He does not want to get Covid again. Nor do I for that matter! I've had several good days playing in the studio all day and will continue for several more days until I have 2 negative tests. I'm hoping to get one tomorrow -- but I may not yet.
On to my goals for last week. Several days I spent more time laying around and reading and less (or no) time sewing. You'll notice I didn't get everything done on my list but I did get other things done. (I'll admit, I spent more time off list than on list.) So here's the list and what I did get done.
10/10/22
✅Quilt and bind a quilt (not the binding though.)
✅Continue making triangles for tumbling triangles -- all sewn and into rows.
Remove papers from string blocks -- oops nothing done.
✅Work on grands’ Christmas ornaments -- This weeks I sewed some beads on a dolphin.
Paint wooden pumpkins -- two have the first primer coat on one side...
Here's the top I quilted but didn't bind yet. Hopefully the binding will get done this week.
And here's what I hope to work on this week...
10/17/22
Bind Flowers and 9 Patch quilt
Quilt and bind another quilt
Finish sewing Tumbling Triangles together
Border Oct UFO Challenge Quilt
Make Sept & October BOM from A Quilting Life
Work on Halloween quilt
I may try to get two of the wooden pumpkins primed -- front, back and edges. If I get any done I'll share pictures. Pat cut them out of the wood with a scroll saw. My job is to paint them.
very cute 9 patch!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear you are feeling better! Wood pumpkins-what size? Do you do fancy painting with shading? Wishing you a fun filled productive sewing week!
ReplyDeleteHope you "fail" the tests and can get back to normal. The nine-patches are cheerful! I have that Studio 180 ruler...hmmmm....
ReplyDeleteI got my second negative test on Saturday, but I’m still skittish about being mask free. I want to stay COVID free so I can get the new booster I’ve scheduled on November 1st.
ReplyDeleteHope you continue to feel better each day! Love the look of the Tumbling Triangles. Wow!
ReplyDeleteEven if what got done wasn't on your list, you still had a productive week for not feeling 100% Good luck with this week's list. Your tumbling triangles is looking good.
ReplyDeleteIt takes time to recover, so I'm glad you are taking it slow. You had a productive week, though! Those tumbling triangles are fun!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're feeling better, Bonnie! Such cute fabric in the Floral/9 Patch. Tumbling Triangles looks like a neat design, too! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou achieved a lot really especially as you are still recovering from Covid. The scrap project sounds fun, and things not on the list are always my favourites.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better, The Flowers and 9 Patch quilt is so spring. Lovely. The tumbling triangles is super modern and looks great in white and blue. Good luck with your list for this week. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are on the mend!! Pretty quilted blocks and those Tumbling Triangles are really neat. Happy Stitching now.
ReplyDeleteOh I forgot I wanted to ask about that beautiful tree in your header photo and the gorgeous quilt to match it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better, I guess you and your husband can text each other! Looks like you've been productive. I love that top you quilted, the fabrics are beautiful. Thank you for sharing with To Do Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI love that Tumbling Triangles quilt. I definitely need to look up that pattern.
