To-Do #52+15 Weekly Update

This is our 67th edition of our weekly to-do list.  We share this post on Beth’s Cooking Up Quilts website on Mondays, and Christine’s Stitch All the Things website on Tuesdays.  Check it out as other friends post their to-do lists as well! ~smile~

To-Do for the week July 16th through 22nd:

1. Finish the Christmas in July project – √ done
2. Continue sewing two runners – √ done

To-Do #1

The Christmas in July blog hop starts today!  We will reveal the finished mantle/chest quilt tomorrow on our day of the hop.  I was so happy to have it finished!  Here’s what it looked like last week – stayed tuned for tomorrow’s update.  Today, in a separate post we shared a free mug rug pattern.  Check that out if you are interested.

To-Do #2

While I was ruminating about how to finish the mantle quilt, I worked on the table and island runners for William and Nicole.  Piecing went together really quickly and I decided to stick with the geometrical and linear lines using simple rectangle quilting.  The table runner is complete and the island runner will be finished up this week, as the bridal shower is on Sunday.  Phew!  I’ll share a picture of the bride-to-be with the gifts next week.  I can’t share them here before they are given away, but here’s the basic unfinished idea.

July OMG Goal:

Our Elm Street Quilts July OMG goal is to sew our Christmas in July blog hop mantle quilt.  Thankfully, that is all wrapped up!

How did it get to be the end of July already?!?!?!

1. Completely finish and wrap the bridal shower runners for Nicole
2. Start sewing the Up From Here sew along quilt
