Nope, she gave me two more to do, so three more to go.

2. Quilt Baby Quilt

I need to clean the long arm tracks to ensure the insulation will not cause any damage.

3. More Swatter Sweaters

  

4. Finish Gnome Quilt

I have one more star to go, then the border, then quilt.

Design Wall Monday 7/15/2024

    Design Wall Monday 

Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

I was out of my house so much that I didn't bother to post.

My design walls were bare.

We replaced our air conditioner, and I had to take everything off one of my design walls.

Because of the heat, I've not been in my sewing room, which made finishing an issue.

We have a new air conditioner, which caused them to send insulation all over everything.

Then, we had new lighting installed, and everything had to be moved. That caused me to do a deep clean.

So, I have been cleaning more than sewing.

My design walls have a couple of small projects.

This little table runner with gnomes is so adorable.

It should be done soon if I get to sew.

My Quilt show is coming soon.

I need something to distinguish the Best of Show.

I'm making this wall hanging to identify it.

Our theme is "Peace, Love, & Flower Power".

All I've worked on this week has been the binding on my Christmas Mug Rugs.

They are small, and I finished 8 of the 20 bindings.

I have two quilts ready to quilt, but I have to super clean the long arm because the insulation from the air conditioning repair was dumped there.

Then, we had new lighting installed in my studio.

It was dark during installation and I could not sew.

Then, there was light.

It is so bright here that it will wake you up in the mornings.

Last Week

 I had a sewing week last week.

We are having our air conditioner replaced, including duct work.

What a mess this has been.

I don't do heat very well, so I have been away from the house.

On Tuesday, I spent the day with my friend, Michelle.

We sewed from 0815 to 2215.

What a day that was.

You can see the tote bags I made at this post.

I also continued to work on my Jacob's Ladder class quilt.

I was making one set of blocks and needed the second set, and it pieced together.

I worked on some other things, but I didn't finish those.

Then, I went with another friend to the Uptown Blanco Retreat Center. 

We arrived around 9 on Wednesday, so we sewed all day Wednesday and Thursday.

I had to come home Thursday evening because I taught an Advent Calendar class with the senior ladies on Friday.

Then, I drove back to Blanco and sewed until 630 Friday evening.

I put binding on these little mug rugs.

I finished putting together this little road quilt. 

I finished the blocks for my Jacob's Ladder Quilt and with the help of the other ladies at the retreat, changed the setting to a rectangle quilt, rather than square.

I added the black border on Saturday.

Then, my daughter and her best friend came over to sew on Friday.

Michelle was sweet enough to let us sew in her space (it's bigger than mine).

I made another tote bag.

This one had to be stabilized.

I started putting together a Gnome Table Runner.

I didn't have the teal with me, so I stopped until I got home.

I was tired and didn't do as much as I usually do.

I don't know how much I will accomplish today.

It might be a day to recuperate from a week of sewing.

It was a week of sewing, but there were few completions.

There should be an increase when I finish the ones I started.

Phone Chargers

This was a project with the senior ladies.

I always make step-by-step instructions, so I have extra items.

I finished them.

Habitat for Humanity Girl Quilt

They needed a quilt for a 2-year-old.

I had this cute panel and made it up.

Her favorite color is pink.

Tote bags

My daughter couldn't part with these shirts, so she asked for tote bags for groceries. 

They are all lined.

To Do List for June 2024

   My to-do-list for 2024 

This list will change throughout the year, but I must focus on completing these things.

1. Donna's memory quilt or two, depending on how it goes together.

I have the second box and have started deconstructing it.

I think I have decided on at least one of the patterns.

3. I'd like to make some memory teddy bears from Rob, Lillian, and Donna's leftovers.

Lillian's bears are cut.

I need to mix the two fabrics to mix and match the bears.

They will give me one more shirt next month to make the 10th bear.

4. Wedding quilt

(This one may be delayed for a bit)

I have 5 of the one block done.

I need to make 4 of the second block to ensure this will work.

I'm not sure how big it will become.

5. Ashley's High School Graduation Quilt

All the T-shirts are deconstructed.

9. At least one of the Stashbuster UFO numbers each month (12/24 in the year)

Finished 6/12 (50%)

March #2 5-Pocket Pouches

I'm using these as leaders/enders to prepare all the pockets, and then I'll put them all together at once.

March #53 Christmas Trees

This will have more mug rugs made.

It really isn't Christmas trees. 

I won't remove it from the list until I've used all the paper-pieced printouts.

April #19 is Bench Pillows/Door decorations/swatter sweaters

May #11 Ashley's HS Organization/Miscellaneous T-shirt Quilt

June #3 A Heritage Quilt

This one is a larger quilt that I'm not sure is even all cut.

I started it and then stopped.

If I don't finish it this month, I'll take it with me on vacation and make sure it is all cut.

10. Complete 80% (9-10) of the All People Quilt Challenge projects.

My APQ quilts are all off the numbering system since I've finished 8 of them already this year.
