To-Do #52+9 Weekly Update
This is our 61st 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 June 4th through 10th:
- Finish quilting I Spy – √ done
- Work on binding t-shirt quilt – √ done
- Finish Bubbles baby quilt – √ done
To-Do #1
The I Spy quilt for Dominic is all finished! Happily, it turned out so darn cute, and a post was shared about it last Friday. It was a very fun quilt to make, and it came together with help from some of our quilting friends . Thank you again, ladies. This also gives me a chance to share a picture of the new owner with his new quilt. We could not coax a smile from him at that moment – not to worry though he had plenty more for us throughout the afternoon.
To-Do #2
The t-shirt quilt is for a good friend, Pat. She is traveling this week – actually on a two week road trip through several southern states. I can’t share the final product until we give the quilt to Pat, but I can share a shot of the quilting that commenced.
I chose a wide crosshatch stitch with the lines about two inches apart. We started out the process in our usual way of putting down a line of masking tape to stitch next to for the first row.
To-Do #3
Last week was a great week for finishes as not only I Spy was complete but so was Bubbles. Here’s a shot of the binding being sewn on. On Friday we’ll share all the happy details about this adorable quilt.
Extra:
We completed the first step in the Fireburst Mystery Quilt. If you recall, this was one quilt that I promised I would make on my own but Sue relented and has been a big help.
June OMG Goal:
Our Elm Street Quilts June OMG goal is to finish the Tea Flower mystery QAL #2 quilt top. I’ve started on thinking about the how-to-be-quilted dilemma as the quilt top is now a flimsy.
To-Do June 11th through 17th:
- Layer Tea Flower quilt
- Finish binding t-shirt quilt
- Happy Father’s Day

Dominic looks adorable on the quilt!
Dominic is growing so fast! Wow! He looks fantastic on his quilt! The hand quilting on Bubbles is fantastic!
I love the look on Dominic’s face — like a grown man, demanding to know what all the fuss is about! My husband makes that face when I start talking about quilting, too. 🙂
Dom looks great on his quilt! Really enjoyed seeing that photo 🙂 Thanks Roseanne! I love the colors on the mystery quilt. I think it will be a neat piece! Hugs!
So organized with your lists! I’m so impressed. I have so many things I want to do, but this working for a living gig is screwing it all up!
Roseanne, you and Sue have been doing great with your accomplishments! I chuckled when I read that Sue is helping with Fireburst! FUN!!!
Happy Quilting! 🙂
I love the checked fabric you are using in the fireburst mystery. I look forward to seeing bubbles later in the week. Is that hand quilting I see? That baby and the eye spy quilt are so adorable.
Busy, Busy Busy. Love the I spy and cute baby even though he is not smiling.
I am sure you will go from to-do to ta-da in no time. That expression and stance is priceless!!!
You keep finishing your to-do lists! Yay for you! Is Sue making her own Fireburst?
I didn’t see “play with Dominic” on the list…. I love your Fireburst fabrics.
Linda – that is assumed!! ~smile~ Roseanne
You have been really productive with finishes!
