TUESDAY......

 so it must be To-Do Tuesday being hosted by Texas Quilt Gal.  My list from last week.

1. Tie Red Work quilt!!!👎

2. Start embroidery on 2nd Down on the Farm👎

3. Catch up on my TAST Quilt.✔

4. Put another row on the Pink Baskets.✔

5. Start a SQUIRREL PROJECT....Alphabet Snowman quilt blocks👎

The Red Work quilt is still in the hoop. 

 

 I didn't get the second Down on the Farm started, but the first one is all done except for some green grass.

 I finished my Wk 25 of TAST.  It's the Fern Stitch.  Just have to put the words on.  Wk 26 is the Barb Stitch...I'll be starting that one today.

And ta da...I got the pink baskets done, it's a filmsy now.

 I didn't get my Alphabet Snowman quilt blocks started...so that will be back on the list this week.  I can't make up my mind what color of fabric I want the blocks done with...I don't want bleached muslin...I want to do it on a light blue...but have none....so I'm thinking maybe a red print, if I have enough...if not the red print....maybe a green print.  See what I mean...can't make up my mind!!

 My To-Do List for August 23 through August 29....

1. Finish the Red Work Quilt!!

2. Finish block 1 of Down on the Farm...and start the 2nd block.

3. TAST....wk 26..Barb Stitch.

4. Start the Alphabet Snowman Quilt.

5.  Work on my See ya Later Alligator Quilt.

Have an awesome....

 

SOMETHING NEW......

 and something new to me.  Over at Elm Street Quilts they have a Kawandi Quilt.  I made one that has lots of scraps with no order or color order. I gathered up some of my scraps and started putting them together.  This is what I will be working on for a while.  It's a pretty big block, it won't take many to make this quilt.  I just need to sew them down.  I found a place that gives you the history behind Kawandi Quilts and great info.  Go HERE.

I was in the mood to embroider last night...so I dug out my Down on the Farm block 

 

and worked on it.  This is going to be a mostly embroidered quilt...I'll add in some applique quilt blocks to finish it up.  The next block is a Nesting Chicken.

I cut some purple baskets and have one pinned and ready to go..  I need to cut some more Muslin 61/2" blocks to do more.  I thing a couple more rows will get this one ready to be a filmsy.

And I worked on my Pine Trees for the See ya Later Alligator Blog Hop.

My One Monthly Goal and 2022 UFO Challenge is to get the Red Work quilt tied and add the binding.  The Tying is almost done, then deciding what color to make the binding...I'm thinking of using a black or green.

Well, that's it for today....hope you all have a great sewing....

 Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday is a simple blog post featuring a photo which conveys a message that speaks for itself without using words.

 Anyone doing the See ya Later Alligator  Blog Hop?  Which is about something to do with traveling.  Yesterday I cut my pattern pieces and started assembling them.  Here's a peek at what I'm doing.

My brother-in-law has a girlfriend, she is from Hawaii.  She recently went to Hawaii to visit her folks.  While she was there she got me some fabric...and I can't wait to jump in and use them.  Any suggestions on what to do with these....I'm stumped at this time...so any help would be appreciated.

I'll be working on my Pink Baskets tonight.  I need to cut some 6 1/2" muslin blocks.  And cut out some purple baskets.  Also some more checked green for the strips.  So that should keep me busy.....and when I get tired of that, I'll work on my tr.....for See Ya Later Alligator. 

And I'll be working on my tr.....for Friday Night With Friends....so hop over and join in.  That's is for today.....have a great....

QUILTY STUFF.........

 As I've been feeling really crappy this week, there hasn't been too much quilting going on here. I have a To-Do Box of projects I"m working on.....so when the mood strikes me I can pull something out and start working on it.

 But I did start putting my pink and purple baskets together.  I've got 2 rows done.  These were done with some scrap Pink and Purple I had.  I'm hoping I have enough to make a small quilt.

And I put a few stitches in my Hand Picked block for my Hand Picked Quilt.  This quilt is a lot of scraps I have of odds and ends fabrics.  With a few new colors I've added.  And there are some orange ones I can use for my Rainbow Scrap I'm working on.

Do any of you, keep a Quilt Diary or calendar!  I have both...my calendar I use to write what I've worked on for that day.  This is July's calendar.  As you can see each day is full.  I've also left empty squares for notes about anything to do with what I'm working on.

I've also got a  list of fabrics I need to pull and a list of blocks I need to make.  So I guess I better get busy and start cutting fabric.  Have a wonderful...

 Hello August and everyone.....I hope your have a wonderful day.  Yesterday I spent the day cutting squares to sew my "stuff" on.  As for today....it's time to post my To-Do Tuesday list from last week.

1.  Tye Red Work Quilt

2. More Pink and Purple Baskets

3. Work on Hand Picked. 

The Red Work Quilt is still in the hoop waiting to be tied.  I worked on other "stuff" this week.  

I also got some Pink and Purple baskets done.  And I cut and pinned my center for my basket quilt  It's going to have flowers in it....I'm going to try something new for this...make some crocheted flowers along with fabric.  I may even slip in a fake flower.

 

And I got more blocks cut for my Hand Picked Quilt.  Now all I need to do is get my light box out and trace the patterns on them.

 This is the pattern I need to trace onto the squares.  These are only 4 1/2" squares

As for what I'm planning on doing this coming week...basically the same thing that is listed above.  

To- Do Tuesday August 2nd through August 8th....

1. Work on Hand Picked blocks

2. Start putting the Pink and Purple baskets together.

3. Tie the Red Work quilt and Cut Binding.

4.  Crochet some more Granny Squares.

Have a wonderful........

 

 

PURPLE AND PIK.......

is what I've been working on for the last few days.  I got a lot of purple baskets done.  I think I have enough to start putting this quilt together.  Not the whole thing, but a start on it anyway.  I still have a pretty good pile to sew.  For now I'm going with what I've got done.

 For Slow Sunday Stitching, I'll be working on my center block for this quilt...this is the basket I'm going to use for my center block.

I still have to decide what I want to put in the basket.  Yarn, fabric, threads, or flowers.  For today I think it's going to be flowers, but who knows...I may change my mind once I start working it this block.

Oh Scrap!

Have an awesome sewing.....

PINK AND PURPLE.....

 Last night I worked on my pink and purple baskets....I've got a little stack going here. The top row is pinned and ready to sew.  The bottom row is done.  At the moment I only have4 3 purple baskets done.  So I better get busy sewing and catch up.

 

 I really am anxious to put these together.  But I have one more basket to go...I want a big one in the center.  Then of course I'll have to figure out the math so it will fit.  I'll probably have to get my son to figure this one out.  I'm awful at Math...My son is a whiz at figuring out my math problems.  This is the pattern I want to use.

It will be on 12 1/2" muslin fabric.  My other baskets are on 6 1/2" muslin blocks.  So for now I need lots more baskets done.  So that will be my quest this week.  To see how many I can get done.

13 things I need to get this quilt .....finished.

1. Scissors

2. Threads

3. More purple baskets

4. More Pink Baskets

5. Cut pieces for the middle basket.

6. A math problem to work out

7. Decide what to put in my middle basket

8. Choose thread, fabric, yarn, flowers or something else

9.  Lots of patience

10. More patience.

11. Backing fabric

12. Batting

13. Yarn to Tie the quilt

TO-DO TUESDAY TIME.......

 My To-Do Tuesday from last week....

1. Finish binding and label Zoe's Quilt.✔

2. Mare more Pink and Purple Baskets.✔

3.  Finish Wk 25  of  TAST and start Wk 27.👎

2 out of 3 isn't bad, for me anyway.   I've been consumed with finishing Zoe's Flag Quilt this week.  It's finally finished.  I put the label on last night and now it's in the washer.  This is also for my UFO Blog Hop.

I did manage to get a couple more pink baskets pinned and ready to sew.  I'll be cutting out the purple ones today.  Plus I have to cut some more 8 1/2' muslin blocks.  

 Next project is to get the Red Work Baskets tied.  I put it in the hoop last week....well all I can say...it's still there.  I'll be working on the tying this week.  Then I have to decide what color to use for the binding.  I'm thinking about a Light Gray or Red.  I'll have to see if I have enough of those 2 colors to make binding.

My Hand Picked quilt has been sorley neglectd.  So it's going on this list this week.

 

My list for  July 26th through  August 2nd

1.  Tye Red Work Quilt

2. More Pink and Purple Baskets

3. Work on Hand Picked.

Have a wonderful.....

My list from last week....

1. Sandwich quilts.✔

2. Lay out Pink Baskets.✔

  and the 1. Red Work & Hearts, 2.Boo Quilt, and 3. Christmas Sampler are waiting their turn to be tied.

I also got the Pink Baskets laid out.  I really like the Green with the Pink.  It's going to take a whole lot more baskets to get this quilt done.  Thankfully I have been stocked up on Pink fabric!  I need to order some purple fabric, I'm down to bits and pieces of that one.

 

 As for the quilt room being back in order...I did it, but it lasted about 1 day.....now it's back to being disorganized again.  Next time I'll take a picture...lol.  

I also got another TAST  block done, taking place over at Pintangle  every Tuesday.  Crossed Buttonhole Stitch.  This is for Week 24.  Now I'm only 2  weeks behind. 

Now it's time to make my list for next week.

July12th through July 18th...

1. Organize the quilt room.

2. Make more basket blocks.

3. Finish tying Zoe's Flags and start the binding.

4. Work on my Hand Picked Quilt.
