End of August To-Do-List

    I have some things I must finish in 2025

Well, they might not be done, but I'll do my best. 😖

I haven't had a good year to finish the things I wanted to do.

Since my DH passed in May, after all the paperwork is done, I'll be more focused, I hope.

All the paperwork might never be done. LOL

1. Donna's Memory Quilts (4) 

First Top is done.
I might add borders, but I want to ensure enough fabric for the other quilts.
Three more to go.

2. Lillian's Memory Bears (10)

I have one started. I should just get them sewn.

3. Ashley High School Graduation Quilt

This quilt is VERY overdue.

COMPLETED Quilts

4. QOV (4)

One was already provided; it was a flag quilt.

 

I received another one that only needs binding added.
This is the last one that needs to be quilted.

At least one Stashbuster UFO a month (3/18) 17%

January #36 Thru Grandmother's Window

(This is all appliqué)

February #6 Wowza

I won't be able to show this because it is a test quilt that I had trouble with.

February #21 Wedding Quilt 

I don't like the design of this quilt, which makes it a challenge.

I might end up changing the color placements

March #9 Wool Poinsettia Ornaments
I'm working on the ornaments in the evenings.

April #3 Yo-Yos
This is an ongoing project.
I have an idea for a toy made from Yo-Yos.

April #39 Thread Catchers
I know I can get what is already sewn finished.
I have some thread catchers cut and ready to sew.

May #1 Zoology
This is a panel and should be quick to finish.
I just need to be able to sew.

May #15 Wildlife Panel Quilt
Another quick finish if I could get to it.

June #10 Woodsy Bag
This one has very little to be done to complete it.
I need to focus more on it.

June #45 Texas Armadillo Table Runner 
I need to find this one to determine what's required to complete it.

July #4 Yellow & Blue Birthday Day Block Swap

July #29 Triple Irish Chain

August #12 Wolf Pack

August #68 Shashiko
This won't be done because I still have some pieces to work on.
This is an ongoing project.
I would like to utilize them in a larger project.

September #23 Vistas (use moongate jelly roll)

Completed Stashbuster UFOs 3/18(16%)

January #4 Shelf Curtain

I'll be changing the need for the shelf curtain, but might make window curtains for the extra bedroom with the cut pieces.

March #2 Donna's Memory Quilt

I have the top finished, but I am wondering if I want to add borders, so it will sit until I have a few more of these quilts made.

April #1 Lillian's Bears

I need to just put these together and finish them.

May #9 Gingerbread Wishes

This is a redwork project, and I'm working on it at night.

 Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

Shy Little Kitten Book Quilt
The alternate blocks take time to make
I will also be sashing the panel blocks.
I don't know what colors I am using.

My Tula 100 Blocks will be offset with Hour Glass Blocks in Blue and Yellow.
I haven't made more of the hourglass blocks lately, but I have started them.

September Stashbuster UFOs

 This month the Stashbuster UFO numbers are:

#2 Zippered Pouches 

This one was finished earlier in the year.

#23 Vistas is a jelly roll quilt.

It should be easy to finish in September.
