I have been sewing.  Smith Mountain Morning is slow going …. tons of pieces fro each block … but I’m determined to get ‘er done!

TO DO

I like to make lists at the beginning of the week, but I’ll still like up to Roseanne & Sue’s Home Sewn by Us on Tuesday.

Last week’s list:

  1. Start November’s Island Batik Challenge  cutting started
  2. Prep 2 blocks from 52 blocks in 52 weeks   done  Week 27 & 28  prepped
  3. Sew 2 blocks from 52 blocks in 52 weeks   done  Week 22& 23 completed
  4. Finish at least 2 blocks from “Smith Mountain Morning”  done  – 44 left to make
    • the designer requests that we not put on the total # of blocks … so, I’m just telling you what I have left to make  (and yes, I’m making it bigger than the pattern)
    • Each of the 44 blocks have some portions done.  The star blocks have all the units made – just need to join them as 9 patches.  The chimney & Cornerstone blocks all have at least the first round on …
  5. Quilt “Squirrel” … not even sandwiched

  1. Start sewing November’s Island Batik Challenge
  2. Prep 2 blocks from 52 blocks in 52 weeks

One who sleeps under a quilt is covered by LOVE!

  7. Hi Gail! I like to make lists on Mondays, too. Since I host on Tuesdays . . . I guess I HAD to change. HAHA! I actually had a Monday off last week and got some projects finished for Tuesday’s update . . . so the adjustment isn’t so bad. I love hearing about progress even if you can’t share a photo. And, thanks in advance for linking up tomorrow!! ~smile~ Roseanne

    • Thanks, Roseanne!
      Blogging my list is making me at least focus on a few things instead of spreading myself thin and trying to do 20 things at once! Hmmm .. my list still has 6 items … we’ll see if I get them done!
      Thanks for hosting TO DO!!
      Happy Quilting! 🙂
