Happy Birthday, Andrea!! It seems like just yesterday Auntie Sue was holding you in the hospital.

To-Do for the week of November 22^nd through 28^th:

1. Quilt Extravaganza with our friend, Carol
2. Enjoy family and friends on Thanksgiving
3. Two limit list for a stress-free week

To-Do #1

Last Sunday, our bag was packed – over-packed, actually. We did use another 31-bag to house the overflowing stack to bring to Carol’s house. Why not bring everything that has not been quilted. Yes, why not?! We cleared off the back of the visitor chair in the sewing room and we selected potential backings. A list was made to remind us of our choices!

So, what did we get accomplished?? Nothing, everything quilted, or somewhere in between? There’s too much news to share in one post. Part 1 of the extravaganza details will be available tomorrow.

To-Do #2

We are blessed to be invited to Sue’s sister (a.k.a., Gamma) for Thanksgiving dinner/lunch. All four of our littles were feeling better and in rare form. It’s a treat to be able to spend time with most of our peeps and catch up with each other. Of course, football was on as is tradition.

The Apple and pumpkin pies were made but barely cut into. Do you have that happen, too, or do you save space for dessert? I always think I’m going to . . . my intentions are good. The apple pie came out of the oven, bubbling cinnamon goodness all over the cookie sheet. It was SO tempting to just cut a slice and gobble it. No one would have noticed that half the pie was missing do you think?!!

Extra To-Do

After my recent purchase of an Accuquilt, I knew I needed a die or perhaps two to round out my scrap-cutting tools. I have a terrible time making flying geese. I love how they look but they frustrate me to no end, so I avoid them at all costs. Of course, sometimes I just cannot avoid them which led to my first die selection!

I chose the flying geese dies which cuts only one goose set at a time, rather than the bundle that cuts multiples. We are in the middle of assembling a red/white/blue table runner that calls for MANY geese. Ugg. My plan is to carefully place the pieces on the die that have been cut for a traditional way of making FGs. I’ll run them through the GO! Hopefully, that will ensure that all of the geese turn out and are uniform. Except for the handful of geese that are already complete. Sounds like a plan doesn’t it?! Stay tuned to see if it comes to fruition.

To-Do Stay-At-Home Round Robin

The Stay-At-Home Round Robin 2023 is right around the corner. On Monday, January 16, the festivities begin. Six blogger friends will share the center blocks that we will build upon. Every Monday thereafter a different compadre will share their suggestion for the round along with tips and tricks. March 13th will be the final parade. There’ll be a weekly linky party. It’s nine quick weeks of round-robin fun. Sue and I have a unique project in mind. ~smile~

To-Do for the week of November 22^nd through 28^th:

• Binding needs to be added to a quilt or twelve
• Buttonhole/appliqué the Easter table toppers started last week
• Low-stress limit of two items!
