To-Do Tuesday Edition #10

Our tenth to-do edition already.  School is out for Sue until the end of August, and I start taking Fridays off.  That means lots of long weekends and in theory, lots of sewing time. ~smile~  Here is last week’s to-do list which didn’t involve much sewing – I’m sorry:

 

To-Do Tuesday for the week June 13th – 19th:

  1. Shop our way across Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Dakota – √ finished with fun
  2. Enjoy the awesomeness of Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills – √ finished
  3. Find a special Father’s Day present – √ finished
  4. Work on the tutorial baby quilt – nada

 

#1

Yes indeed, we did shop our way across Wisconsin and Minnesota anyway.  We ended up skipping South Dakota shops only because there were too many other sites to see.  I’ll share those road trip stops soon!

 

#2

WOW is all I can say about Mount Rushmore.  The Avenue of Flags for each state was awesome to say the least.  I took a number of shots trying to get a good one of the Wisconsin flag.  Six shots later, I finally had to give up with this one.  And my selfie skills need some work!

 

 

 

We also visited the Crazy Horse memorial, road the 1880 Train from Keystone to Hill City, stayed in Deadwood just in time for Wild Bill Hickok Days, and of course hit up Wall Drugs.  1985 miles in five days and we covered a lot of ground!

We found the perfect Father’s Day present when we picked up a book on the 1880 train and Keystone’s history.  Perfect!

 

#4

Umm, no this baby quilt did not get worked on at all.  We did, however, find the perfect color thread to use for quilting.

 

To-Do Tuesday starting June 20th:

  1. Gather all fabrics for the new Pat Sloan quilt-along – starts 6/28 – more details to follow
  2. Work on the baby quilt for the tutorial
  3. Find the fabrics for two queen size quilts – we ARE doing this for sure – HAHA
  4. Figure out the issue with blue/gray quilt (uggggg!)

 

I’ll give you an update on these projects next Tuesday, June 27th.  Our Linky Parties can be found by clicking the link for more quilting fun.  Check out what our friends are up to!  Like and follow us on our Facebook page!

  1. Such travels through very interesting places, Deadwood and the famous Mount Rushmore for instance! And to think there are quilt shops along the way. Bonus! Your To Do lists are great. Happy Touring

      Hi Jocelyn! It was a blast and the quilt shops were fabulous! Thank you so much for stopping by and your sweet comments. Please stop again ~smile~ Roseanne

  2. That’s a lot of miles to sit. Can’t wait to see what you post about the shops. I’ve been to Mount Rushmore many times. My husband and son spent a day and a half hiking in it a few weeks ago. I stayed home and played…with fabric. I like reading your lists. They are short and doable. I need to learn from you to make shorter lists.

      Hi Karen, I would love to return to Mount Rushmore but as you mentioned it is a long drive. But those quilt shop stops make it much more manageable! And to think we missed some in that area – well, we HAVE to go back now don’t we?! Yeah, those short list make it MUCH easier to check things off as being complete. ~smile~ Roseanne

    Such a fun trip! Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse are incredible, and definitely Must-See when going to SD. Deadwood is a fun place to be as well. I’m so glad you had such fun!
