It's concert week+ this week. We'll be singing 3 concerts with the Spotsylvanians. We've got 3 rehearsals this week although one is with our neighborhood group -- The Heritage Singers. Their concert will be on Monday 12/16th. This coming weekend is overloaded. So, if you don't hear anything from me this week don't be surprised!
I didn't do very well on my goals this week. Although I did succeed on a few things.
12/2/24
Finish top made with stash busting block — about half sewn together.
Mail tree blocks to Washington state — ugh, no didn’t even package them up.
✅Bind quilted top — all done!
✅Quilt a customer top — done!
✅Sing at the Mall — done!
I was remiss taking photos this week so I don't have any from anything I've done this week. Sigh.
I will say I did make progress on the stash busting blocks. I've sewn all six rows of blocks together and three of the rows are sewn together. Hopefully I'll find a little time this week to finish sewing the other three rows together.
Here's my goals for this week. Not much but I'll try to do a little in the studio.
12/9/24
Finish quilting sloth quilt and trim it
Finish sewing stash busting blocks into top
Keep at cutting up scraps into usable squares and rectangles
Concert week 3 rehearsals and 3 performances

Here's the quilt I've got Ruthie working on while I write this blog. (Yea for a computerized long arm!) My daughter Jenny loves patterns by Elizabeth Hartman. This one is called Sleepy Sloths. These are sloths 3 and 4 hanging off the edge of the long arm frame.

The sloths are adorable! I can see why your daughter likes them.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Sloths!!!
ReplyDeleteIts okay to give yourself some grace - you have a lot going on , and the singing... protect those vocal chords ;-)
You sure do stay busy with your singing, do you sing different songs for each concert or the same ones?
ReplyDeleteLove the sloths! I'd love to hear one of your concerts.
ReplyDeleteThe sloths are so cute--nice to be able to have them quilted while you multitasked!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what panto you used to quilt your sloths. There is a sloth at the entrance to Como Zoo in our area and it's always in about the same place! No surprise! So it is well known throughout the area!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job matching up the fabric print on that second sloth. They're both wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe sloths are really fun! To reach 97% on your stitching time is really awesome. We didn't take a big vacation this year, so it was easy for me to keep up each day. It's harder when you have a day or more of flying. At this point it's hard to make a big change in the stitching metrics, just a few weeks left in the year.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have a long arm quilting machine...
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see what your beautiful sloth blanket will look like when it's finished.
Have fun with your concert week and warm greetings to you.
Those sloths are just adorable. I look forward to seeing the finish! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
ReplyDeleteSleepy? Those eyes are wide open :-D Very cute design. Will make a very happy quilt. Wishing you all the best for the concert. I am sure you will bring joy to your audience.
