Hello November! As of Monday 11-4-2024 we are at 309 days through 2024. Which means we are now on the fast slide through the holidays -- Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, and Kwanza. (Or any others we might celebrate.) Here's how I did on last week's goals. (Not bad!)
10/28/24
✅Quilt a baby quilt on Ruthie — done and bound!
✅Finish Quilting lonestar on domestic machine — ready for binding (that I need to get.)
✅Finish a Christmas ornament — two are done except hanger and ribbon.
✅Put borders on 3 yard quilt — done!
Finish Frolicking Frogs top started at retreat — need to buy new border.
Here's the photo of Buttons and Bows, the 3 yard quilt I just finished...or not finished.
I shared this photo with my friend, Sharon. And then she asked me if I had turned that one block the wrong way on purpose. ARGH. No, I hadn't planned to finish the whole quilt top with that one block wrong! So I will be taking it out and finishing it correctly soon. (Hopefully it won't take all that long!)
No other pics of goals I've been working on. But here is a picture of the Christmas tree blocks that Irma requested from the FCQ Equilters during October and November. (Heads up -- my turn comes in December and I'm trying to decide what blocks I want to request. I'll probably make a sample block or two soon.)
And, now here's what I want to do this week. Or at least do some of it.
11/4/24
Attend machine mastery class
Work on Christmas ornaments - 2 left to do
Fix block in Button Box
Buy border fab for Frolicking Frogs and binding for Lone Star
Quilt a quilt on Ruthie
Work on one of the unfinished UFOs from this year’s list
Finish some more Christmas tree blocks
Another week of sewing/stitching every day!
W/ending 11/3 — 301 days in to 2024.
- 15 minute days/Oct = 4/4
- 15 minute days/Nov = 3/3
- 15 minute days/2024 = 299/308 days
- Success rate = 97.%
Yea! For stitching every day. Hopefully I'll continue this every day this month too!
I'm cutting this short as we sang a concert to raise funds for hurricane help this afternoon so I started writing my blog later than normal. Hopefully we helped raise money to help those who need help.
Please take some time to visit these Linky parties. Isn't it fun to see what others are working on these days? Stitching Stuff, Oh Scrap, Design Wall Monday, and Monday Musing. I might not get to add the last two links until tomorrow afternoon as I have the first mastery class for my new sewing machine in the morning. It's going to be a long day!
Have you voted yet? Both hubby and I voted early. Hubby has taken voting a few steps further. He is a precinct chief on Tuesday. He's also been working at the early voting site once a week since mid September. I voted for my daughters' and granddaughters' rights. I voted for a leader who brings youth and energy to the presidency. I voted to keep America a democracy. I voted for our future. Don't forget to vote. It may be the most important vote in our lifetimes.
Happy Quilting All! Bonnie
You had a good week. Sorry about your block turned wrong, I thought he just wanted to join my sailboat that was turned, haha.
ReplyDeleteBetter to catch that pesky blocks now than see it when the quilt is done! (ask me why I say that!)
ReplyDeleteI too voted for Democracy, women's rights and save reproduction health - we fought hard for those rights back in the 60-70's and I want to keep them for my granddaughter's generation - we can't slid back on these issues! I like having someone younger in charge also - I'm tired of old men
ReplyDeleteLet's ensure that we have rationality and reason!.........I might be tempted to leave the errant block as it is but since the colors are so bold probably best to change it.
ReplyDeleteI voted early last week. A newspaper article stated that over 40% of Wyoming’s registered voters have voted early. I am eager for America to “turn the page” and move toward a brighter future and away from vengeance, anger, and whining.
ReplyDeleteOops on the misplaced block! Maybe you did do it on purpose, lol?! No matter what, that's a neat quilt design. I voted early also, and I voted for sanity and reason in our government. I agree, this may be the most important vote in our lifetime! 💙
ReplyDeleteI probably would have left the block turned but then again, not a fan of ripping out. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt happens....I also wondered if the one was the wrong way on purpose :)
ReplyDeleteI like buttons and bows. and those Trees - very festive!
