I also worked on Alexis's quilt.  I need 2 more blocks, then I can start laying in out, so see what more it needs.  Alexis's quilt is made up of extra applique pieces I had left over from other quilts.  This block is a left over from the Candy Hearts quilt.

THIS AND THAT AGAIN.......

 I've been working on this and that this past week.  I've been trying to get the 2 quilts done that are waiting for binding.  Cut my binding for the Salt and Sand...and my Orange quilt.

Started the binding on Salt and Sand last night.

I also worked on my Band Sampler this past week.  I've got June done and now need to start on July.  This is a personal journal Band Sampler.

While I was tying my 2 quilts...I needed a needle puller and couldn't find any.  So I went hunting on line....didn't find any there either.  So I improvised.  I found some jar lid grippers at Amazon...so I ordered some of those.  Got them in the mail, and cut a red one down to size for a needle puller.  They work great!!

Today, I'm going to cut fabric for my binding.  While I'm cutting fabric, I'll also cut some muslin for my RSC 2020 quilt.  I've almost got enough to finish this off.  Then starts the embellishing of the blocks.

Tonight I'm going to Book Club...we haven't had a meeting for 3 month.  Really looking forward to this one.  And a new book to read.  We will be reading The Personal Librarian by  Marie Benedict.  You can read all about this book over at Amazon.

As for T.V., I'm still watching CSI Miami.  I really like these crime shows...I've also been watching CSI New York.  Well I guess that's it for today.  Hop over and check out these links.

LIST OF LIKES......

 Over at Lee Anna's place, Not Afraid of Color, it's I Like Thursday...hop over and see what everyone likes this week. 

As for me,  I've got a short list this week.  I finally got another row on the RSC 2020 quilt top.  Put it on my bed to size it and see how many more blocks I have to make.

It needs about 4 more rows of Crazy Quilt blocks....but, yes I have a but....I know the colors for 2020, except for November and December.  Can anyone help me out with this dilemma???  I would really appreciate it lots. 😀

Second item on my list is the Salt and Sand Quilt.  It is in the hoop and being tied.  I worked on it this week, but didn't get very far.  I got the four corners of the center square tied.

I've been re-watching CSI on Hulu... I have several streaming stations I watch T. V. on,

 

 I hate watching regular t.v. there are way tooooo many commercials on t.v. to suit me.  I mostly watch Hulu, Peacock, Paramount and Acorn.  They have a lot shows I watch.

I'm still reading The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George.  I really like this book!

That's it for today...have an awesome Thursday.

IT'S TUESDAY......

 so it's time to post my progress on my To-Do List from last week..To-Do Tuesday is hosted by Linda over at Texas Quilt Gal...hop over and see what everyone has on their list.

Last week's list...

1. Sew another RSC 2020 row on.👎

2. Make some more String blocks.✔

3. Start a new embroidery project.👎

Well, it was a bad week for my list.  But I did get Salt and Sand, and the Orange Quilt sandwiched.  And Salt and Sand is in the hoop and I've started tying it.

I did get a couple more String blocks done.  

Mostly this week I've been working on my Tiny Tile blocks.  I've got a nice little pile of them.

As for the RSC 2020  project....I need to put it in my To-Do Box so I remember to work on it.  Right now it's in another box, clear on the other side of the room...out of site, out of mind I guess.  As for the New Embroidery Project...didn't start a new one, but have been working on my Daisy embroidery.  It's coming along nicely.  Although it has a few boo boo's, but this is learning process for me...learning new stitches and techniques.  I still like the project. and the way it's using blended floss.  If you want to check this out, head over to  Mary Corbet's Needle N Thread...she has a whole series of embroidery projects to work on.

 

 

 

Have an awesome stitching.....

STITCHING AND T.V.......

 What do you do while your stitching away...watch t.v., videos, listen to music.  I watch t.v. on my computer...I subscribe to several streaming services...I hate watching commercials!  I was working on my Candy Hearts, but ran out of black embroidery floss.  

So I picked up my Tiny Tiles and worked on them.  I've been pulling out some of my scraps of Novelty Fabric to use on these.

I also got my RSC Basket done...Orange.

I got 2 quilts sandwiched and one is in the hoop.

Salt and Sand is in the hoop.

And the Orange Quilt is waiting it's turn to be tied.

WHAT TO DO??????

 I've got so many projects to do right now, I'm not sure which one to do.  I do know that the Salt and Sand quilt, and the Orange quilts are getting sandwiched today....and if I have enough batting and backing fabric, I may sandwich the Indiana Leaves quilt.  I'll see how this all goes.

 

My goals for last week didn't go well.

1. Sandwich Salt and Sand....and Orange You Glad quilts👎

2. Sew another RSC 2020 row on.👎

3. Make a few more String Blocks ✔

4. Start a new embroidery project👎

I did get some  more String blocks done.  I think I may have enough to start putting this together.  I've laid it out on my design floor...it's really looking good.  

 So my list for To-Do Tuesday next week is kind of a repeat of last weeks list. 

1. Sew another RSC 2020 row on.

2. Make some more String blocks.

3. Start a new embroidery project.

Hope you all have a great stitching....

NEW MONTH OF......

September...so it's time to set my goals for this month.  I've got 3 quilts that need to be sandwiched, tied and bound.  I've had one of these on my list for a while...so I will be glad to get it finished.  It's my Indiana Leaves quilt.

1.  Indiana Leaves

2. Salt and Sand

I also want to sandwich my Salt and Sand quilt.  

3. Orange Quilt

These 3 quilts are my WOOFA, OPAM, PHD 2021, and OMG projects for September.

ORANGE......

 I've been working on my Orange Quilt for a couple weeks.  It is finally a filmsy....

I've never made an orange quilt before.  So this one is special to me.  I really like how this came out.  Now I need to pull out the cutting table and get it sandwiched.  I will be sandwiching 2 quilts.  I've also got my Salt and Sand quilt finished, so it needs sandwiched too.

 I really like the way this one came out.  I love all the different colors in this quilt.  It was all made from my scraps, The borders for the mussels, fish and clams got new fabric...a sand kind of fabric.  That's it for today.  Hope you all .....

THIS AND THAT.....

 I've started working on my It's A Guy Thing quilt.  I have a tub full of odds and ends blocks.  A while back I used to trade quilt blocks...we had to make so many and send them to a person on our list.  Wellll...I've got lots of those.  I did some out every once in a while and put them together.  This is what I'm going to make my It's A Guy Thing quilt from.  How appropriate for Guys...Bow Ties. ...I also have a stack of little 4 patches.  I'm going to add these to the Bow Tie blocks...and see what kind of design I can come up with.  Since I don't really have that many, this will probably turn into a wall hanging.  Any suggestions on how to arrange these blocks would be appropriated.

I'm also still working on the Salt and Sand quilt.  Putting the lines on 21 Clams is a lot of embroidery.  I'll get there, it will just take a little time.

I've been watching The Good Doctor on Hulu...waiting for the 5th season to come out.  This is when I work on my quilts...while watching t.v. in the evening.

My Book Club at the library is back on.  I missed the meeting...so I went to the library last week and picked up my Book Club book.  This month we are reading...The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George.
