To Do List for 07/22/2025
It's been two weeks since my last to do list post. Between being way to busy packing and moving Grad Girl, plus the lack of Internet, putting a list together last week just didn't happen. So here's the progress on my last to do list.
To Do List for 07/08/2025
1. Guild BOM: Finish August blocks - progress
2. Old Town: Continue assembly at late night sew ✔
3. Wild and Goosey: Make purple, sash red blocks ✔
4. Embroidery or Cross Stitch: Work on one night ✔
5. Summer Scrap Quilt: Continue as leaders and enders ✔
There was a good bit of progress before I left for Texas and I'll take that. I'm hoping to make a good bit of progress this week. It's too hot to do much else but hang out in the sewing room.
To Do List for 07/22/2025
1. Guild BOM: Finish August blocks, start September
All but two of the sawtooth stars for the border were finished before I left for Texas. It shouldn't take long to finish those off and then get started on the September blocks. The fabrics for the next month's blocks have been pulled, so cutting those pieces should be doable this week.
2. Kate's Choice: Continue quilting blocks
July is almost over and there's only been one finish so far this year. This is the project closest to being finished, so I should really put some effort into getting it all the way there.
3. Embroidery or Cross Stitch: Work on either one day
I did get one evening of cross stitching when we were in Texas; before our days got longer and we used the evenings to move packed stuff into the storage unit. It was too hot to do that during the day.
4. Old Town (Bonnie Hunter): Continue assembly at late night sew
All the components parts are finished, now block assembly can start. I'm looking forward to seeing this quilt top come together.
5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Make purple blocks, sash red blocks
Just one red block left to sash. I still need lots more purple blocks. I won't get all of those made this month. This is my RSC project for the year, but I probably won't be following along with the colors from here on out. Blue, green, purple and teal are the only colors left to finish, so I'll be concentrating on those the next few months.
6. Simply Sensational Summer Scrap Quilt (Kevin the Quilter): Continue as leaders and enders
I'm still working on the yellow borders for the center of the quilt. Hopefully I'll be doing enough stitching this week to get those done and I can move on to the rest of the assembly process.
Grad Girl is back home till she finds a job, but she's pretty busy this week. She's got a couple of jobs to apply for and the finial edits on her thesis to finish. We are taking her car in for service sometime this week. She's going to take a mini trip to go see some of her college buddies this weekend, so we'll be cat sitting. But other than that, I'm hoping for a mostly only stitching week. Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

Getting Back to the Sewing Room
We finally made it home early yesterday afternoon. All of us were hot and tired. Queenie, Grad Girl's cat, isn't a fan of hotel rooms. So none of us got a lot of sleep the previous 4 nights. Needless to say after we unloaded and got lunch, everyone of us, including the cat, took naps yesterday afternoon. It was early evening before I made it up to the sewing room and took stock.
The last sewing I did was to finish the August Inverted Star block for the Guild BOM.
The color for August is brown. I only finished 3 of the 5 sawtooth stars needed for the sawtooth border. But at least I had enough to post on the Guild Facebook page what the color was for August. I missed the guild meeting due to the move preparations.
That's about all the action in my sewing room over the last couple of weeks. I figured out where I was with Old Town, Wild and Goosey, and my leaders and enders project. I've got all the pieces pinned for the next bit of sewing, but ran out of steam at that point and went to bed.
We didn't have Internet at the apartment for most of the week and we were so tired each night we were staying in the hotel, that I'm way behind on emails and blog reading. So I'll be playing catch up on that front this week.
