IT'S TUESDAY, TIME......

 for To-Do Tuesday.  This is my list from last week...

1.  Finish borders on SAHRR..✔

2. Start sewing Flags together.✔

3.  Re-Organize the Quilting Room.✔

4. More Granny Squares✔

5. More Pink Baskets✔

All checks this week!!   I've been bouncing back and forth from each of them.  The SAHRR is a filmsy now.

I started sewing the flags together and laid it out on my design floor.  

 

I got my quilting room all back to normal....it lasted about 2 days...so it's back to messed up again..so this is going on my list again.

I have 10 new Granny Squares to add to my pile.  I'm going to start sewing them together to see how many more I need for a Lap Quilt.

And I have a couple more Pink Baskets to add to my pile...I need to figure out what I'm going to do with these.  Add strips between rows, sew them into rows and have a big border around them....I'll lay them out and see what I like.

 

So all my complaining about bouncing between everything did pay off.  This week I'll be getting my cutting table out and sandwiching a couple quilts.  This is a for sure thing!  No more saying and not doing it!!!!!!!

My list for June 28th through July5th.

1. Sandwich a couple quilts!!!!!

2. Finish putting the Flags together.

3.  Start sewing Granny Squares together.

4. Lay out Pink Baskets and see what to do.

5.Put the quilting room back to normal.

PINK BASKETS.......

 are found....I posted Tuesday about my missing Pink Baskets.  Well, the room is now in order and I found my Pink Baskets.  I got  5 of them pinned, so now I'm sewing them down.  This is the one I'm working on right now. 

The SAHRR has been an obsession with me, trying to get it to filmsy stage.  Well it is finally a filmsy.....yea!

My next project is going to be a Dresden Plate quilt.  I was digging around in my boxes and found a whole lot them.  I'm not sure, but I think this is going to have to be a 16" block.  I'll have to cut one to see if it works.

Well, I guess that's it for today.   I' linking to:  I Like Thursday and Needle N' Thread Thursday.

Have great....

TUESDAY AGAIN......

 time to post my To-Do Tuesday list...last weeks list reads like this.

1. Sandwich a quilt.👎

2. Sew Flags together.✔

3. SAHRR....sew on borders..started.✔

4. More Granny Squares✔

5. More Pink Baskets👎

No quilts got sandwiched.  I really need to just do this.  I've got 11 quilts ready to be sandwiched and one is all most a filmsy. 

I didn't sew any of the flags together, but I did lay them out on the design floor to see what I need.  So I'm counting this one done.

My SAHRR is getting borders.  Just need to sew 2 more on and this one can join the 11 other filmsy's 

 

I also got a few more Granny Squares done for the Crochet Along I'm doing.  I've got a bag full  of them now.  I'll start sewing them together and see how I'm progressing.  I want to make a Lap Throw, so I'll have to  do some research on size.

No more Pink Baskets done, I've misplaced them somewhere in this melee of a quilting room.  At the moment everything is out of order.  This is also my laundry room.  So when I'm doing laundry I have to shift everything around.  Which is what it is now.  

This also includes Bob having a Bone Treat.  This is his favorite room to lay in.  The floor is cement and on a hot day he lays here.  Bob is pretty big.  He is part Mastiff and part Labrador.  And he weighs around 200 lbs.  And he's also not a good guard dog.  He's more of a gentle giant. 

 But we LOVE him💘

 

 So when everything goes back to order, I'll find the pink baskets.  Here's what the Pink Baskets look like...so I did pretty good this week, 3 out of 5 checks.

 

My To-Do List for June 21st through  June 28th.

1.  Finish borders on SAHRR..

2. Start sewing Flags together.

3.  Re-Organize the Quilting Room.

4. More Granny Squares

5. More Pink Baskets

HOT, HOT, AND MORE HOT........

 We've been under a Heat Advisory and a Heat warning for the last 4 days.  

 

The temps have been in the high 90's, with the "feels like" being in the 3 digit range.  This is our current map.

 We are currently under a.......

...HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT TONIGHT...

* WHAT...Heat index values of 95 to 100 are expected this
  afternoon and evening.

* WHERE...Portions of northern Indiana and northwest Ohio.

* WHEN...Until midnight EDT Thursday night.

I live in that red area.  Today we are under a Heat Advisory.  So we are staying inside with the air conditioner running full blast!

I'm not working on a full quilt, just working on blocks...that way I don't have too much fabric laying on my body.  I did do some more work on my SAHRR last night.  I can "see the light at the end of tunnel" on this quilt.  I have a couple more garden signs to embroider, and add the border, and this one will be another filmsy to add to my bulging box. 

 

This is quilt has so much color, I've decided it needs a neutral color as a border.These are what I've picked out for the border.

 Plus the Crazy Quilt is still in the hoop.  I put a few more stitches in last night.  This quilt is extra heavy, there are 5 layers of fabric plus all the embellishments on it.  The blocks are made on a muslin backing and each block measures at 12 1/2".   I'm really enjoying tying this quilt.  This is the first Crazy quilt I ever made. I'm working on an  8 1/2" one now.  

I'm still reading The Janus Stone by Elly Griffiths.  Really good series.  I'm on book  2 of 14.

My personal reading challenge is to read the whole series of Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kenny. 

 

 I've finished books 1 and 2.  Don't let the fact that these are "kids" books scare you off reading them.  They are really funny  and serious.  All about growing up and Middle School adventures.  You can read my post about these books at my book blog, Just Books.  

While I'm working on a quilt....I watch t.v.  I'm still watching Law and Order...Criminal Intent. I'm on season 7 right now.  There are 10 seasons.  I subscribe to several streaming channels...I'm watching this on Peacock.

Well, that's what's going on in my world right now.    I'm linking up with

SUNDAY STITCHING.....

 I'm currently trying to get my SAHRR to filmsy stage.  I have to finish up the embroidery of the butterflies, give the farmer a face and put the names on the Garden Signs.  And I also need to decide on border color.  I'll have to think about this one for awhile.

I've also go my Blue Birdhouse for RSC 2022 all pinned down.  I'm going to change the pole to a brown, the blue doesn't work for me.  The same applies to the perch piece.

These 2 items are what I'll be working on today for my Slow Sunday Stitching.....I'll do the blue birdhouse first and then move on to the SAHRR.

If I get tired of these 2, I've always got my Tiny Tiles as a back-up.

Have an awesome stitching....

I LIKE THURSDAYS BECAUSE.....

 I like making lists....I have a list for everything and anything.  Take your pick, I have a list, ha ha😀  Here is a LIST of lists I have.

1. Books - Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway Series

2.Quilts - I have 8 Quilt tops that need sandwiched

3.Yarn - I have 2 afghans going

4.Embroidery Stitches - learning new stitches at Pintangle

5.Afghans - a new one is being worked on

6. New plants for the flower beds.  lots to choose from my Free Burpee catalog.

7. Embroidery items I'm stitching - the list is endless

8. Household chores for the day - another endless list

9. Adding new numbers to my phone book - I seem to collect these, so I need some where to put them!

10. Making a monthly calendar - I use this to keep track of my quilts

11. Start an Index Card-a-Day Challenge, which you can find all the info HERE. - doing doodles, art, quilts, you name it, it can be put on an index card.

12. Sorting buttons into color groups - I got my mom's buttons when she passed, so have slowly been sorting them into color groups.

13. Making lists..ha - as you see from my list...ha ha😀

My lists are sometimes short and sometimes long.  For example...Yarn, I browse through yarns looking for a color I need.  And the list begins with yarn names, yarn number, color, how many ounces, what I want to use it for, the list tends to grow as I think of things to do with this yarn.

I've been working on my SAHRR quilt.  I finally got the farmer sewed down and am now working on the garden sign posts.

When I'm not quilting, crocheting or embroidering, I read...at the moment I've got 2 seires going.  Elly Giffiths Ruth Galloway series and Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Whimpy Kid. We just bought the whole series for my granddaughter, and I decided to read them too.

Well that's it for today.  Have a great...

STILL WORKING ON......

 my SAHRR.  It's my Monday Making to today.  Head over to Love Laugh Quilt to see what everyone is working on today.  I've started the embroidery work, there is a lot of it.  All the Star Flowers need stems and leaves embroidered on them.  And the little butterflies need to be embroidered.  The Farmer needs to be finished and my sign posts.  Then I have to decide on a border. I'm thinking about a black gingham border, let me know what you think about this.
