Two of our friends host a weekly linky party. Brenda at Songbird Designs has a Monday linky party called Monday Musings. Our friend Carol at Quilt Schmidt hosts To-Do Tuesday with a linky party as well. We will share our weekly updates on both of their websites.

• 1/20 = 11,944*

To-Do for last week:

1. Sew the HRT squares into a quilt top
2. Start appliqueing a project for Andrea
3. Two limit list for a stress-free week

To-Do #1

Here’s the potential layout for the HRT. It’s been on the design wall for over a week, and we haven’t made a single adjustment to it. I honestly think we haven’t even given it a single consideration. There are six different fabrics in all but this crappy photo doesn’t show those distinctions. See that little red and green spot at the bottom of the picture. It’s the gnome runner lying in a heap. It hasn’t even been folded and I don’t care.

I suspect the layout will remain this way because I always mess it up when I sew them together. So, it doesn’t matter what our plan is because I end up making a new one on the fly! HAHA!

To-Do #2

We’re starting a wall hanging that features Sunbonnet Sue and Sunbonnet Sam figures representing each family member. Those are five blocks so we have to add four other scenes. This represents their backyard including the pink swing. A lot of time is spent in that fort and on the slide on the nice green grass. We’ve just eight more blocks to work on. More will be revealed . . .

What To-Do Next Week?

1. Sew the HRT blocks together into a quilt top – let’s try again this week!
2. Continue the applique project for Andrea
3. Only two – no stress!

I am stressing myself out trying to write some of our patterns in a better format to sell. Holy cow. It is a LOT of work. Getting my steps in, doing yoga, and trying to focus on writing makes me wonder how the “H” I ever got anything accomplished while working. It is cutting into our sewing time. Good thing there’s no hurry.
