SUNDAY TO DO.....

 I've got 1 quilt top that is ready to sandwich, one quilt is almost done, the final piece of binding is pinned, then to make the label.  I'll be finishing the Candy Hearts quilt tonight, while watching t.v.


 If time doesn't get away from me, I'll sandwich the 2020 RSC Basket quilt and cut the binding.  This quilt is also made with scarps.  The baskets and the border.  The only new fabric is the muslin.  This is also my December OMG project. 

I have another quilt that is almost ready to sandwich, it's Alexis's quilt, just need to figure out what to use for the outside border.  

 

  I don't have enough of any one fabric to use....so I either need to order some on line, use some of this or that fabri,  or make a trip to Hobby Lobby.  I don't really like ordering fabric on line, I've had a few bad experiences with this.  One was a muslin that is so thin you can see though it, it reminds me of Cheese Cloth.  The other is a muslin that is so thick you can't hardly sew through it.  So I guess I'll be making a trip to Hobby Lobby tomorrow.    

I've also added a new row to my Band Sample....as you can see my line isn't straight.  I need to work on that...but isn't that what this is all about...learning new stitches and keeping everything straight.  His Band Sampler is my SAL project. 

Well, that's it for today...have a wonderful stitching....

SCRAPPY STITCHING......

 I took a break on the Candy Hearts...I have the last row of hearts pinned, then the border goes on.  I'll finish it up tonight.

Over at So Scrappy, its time to show off  your scraps. So I worked on my RSC 2021 blocks.  I need a few more rows to finish this one.  


It looks done, but the side by the wall needs a few more rows. 

I also worked on my String blocks.  I have enough to start putting them together.  As soon as I get them  laid out on my design floor.  Since I've never done a String Quilt I'll have to play around with this one for awhile.  Any suggestions on how to lay it out?  Happy to get suggestions, and thanks for any you give, it's really appreciated. 

Well, that's it for today...

MAKING PROGRESS......

 I got all the green RSC blocks done, and have one more orange one to finish.  This was my RSC 2020.

You can see my post about HERE.  This is for my bed and this is what I have done so far...


I looks like it's done....but the side by the wall needs a few more rows done.  And of course, when the blocks are finished that I'm working on...I'll have to embellish them.

I made a trip to Hobby Lobby yesterday...I was completely out of black embroidery floss.....now I can finish the embroidery on my Candy Hearts Quilt.  I also bought some muslin and some other stuff I didn't really need...sewing notions are a thing for me...I think I need it all!😄

I've already got all the blocks done, just have to put the words on the hearts.

So I've got 2 projects to work on tonight while watching t.v.  Which one to do...

WHAT'S COULD BE MORE......

 scrappy than crazy quilt blocks....well, I've been working on my RSC 2020 blocks.  I put it on my bed yesterday to figure out how many more I need..  I need about 4 more rows.  Want to know more about RSC...head over So Scrappy and check it out.


With the help of Linda over at Texas Quilt Gal I got the November and December colors, so I've been working on those...I've 5 Green ones done and started on the Orange yesterday.

LOTS TO DO....

 and running out of time.  I've been working on my String Quilt, it's for my It's A Guy Thing Blog Hop...being hosted over at  Just Let Me Quilt....are you joining?  I'm making this for my bed.  I've got enough for 2 rows.  So I need to get to it.  There are 2 rows here, but I couldn't get all the picture on the camera.


I've also started putting my RSC 2020 blocks together.  I have 60 blocks...I'm doing 10 across...so I'll have 6 rows...that ought to make a pretty sized quilt.  There will be a black border around it.  This is part of the rows...couldn't get it all in the picture.


 I've started Alexis's Quilt.  Ever start a quilt not knowing how it will come out??  This is one, I had a bunch of pieces cut out and picked a few of them.  So far I've got a Tea Pot, Tea Cup and some Circle Flowers.  I've got an idea bouncing around in my head....we'll  have to see where this goes.


I do all my quilting while I watch T.V. on my computer.  I subscribe to several streaming services...so I've always got something to watch.  At the moment I'm watching ER on Hulu.

I've started a new book for my book club.  The Little Paris Book Shop by Nina George.  I'm really enjoying this book.

And of course you have he GUARD DOGS on duty!😎

TO-DO TUESDAY AGAIN.....

 


 To-Do Tuesday is hosted by Chris over at Chris Knits.  Hop over and check out what everyone's list is for this week.

June 29th through July 5th

1. Do more embroidery on the Clams.✔

2. Work on my, not sure what this is..click on the link and you'll find a brief history on this.  Band Sampler.👎

3.  Start sewing the RSC 2021 blocks together.👎

****************************************************

1. We have been having a heat wave the last couple of weeks.  High 80's -9o's...with very high humidity.  So working on a quilt is kind of hard to do.  The Salt and Sand quilt hasn't been sandwiched yet...so I've been working on the Clams.  

2. The Band Sampler has been sorely neglected.  I really need to work on this!  This is as far as I've gotten.  I've got lots of ideas to do...just haven't done them.  Need some ideas on how to do a Band Sampler and stitches to use?  Head over to Sharon's place, Pintangle.  She has a post on her Band Sampler and she has a Stitch Dictionary for embroidery stitches.

3. I've got the RSC 2020 out of the UFO box and into the T0-Do Box.  Just haven't started putting them together yet.  This is a small pile of blocks...there are 6o of them don...just haven't laid them out yet...so they are still waiting their turn to be worked on.

July 6th through July 12th

My list for next week will be the same as last week...hoping I can get some progress on these 3 items.

1. Do more embroidery on the Clams.

2. Work on the Band Sampler.

3.  Start putting the RSC 2020 blocks together.
