To-Do Tuesday Linky #50 & Weekly Progress Update
Join us for the 50th linky party post and the 170th weekly to-do list. Thanks to everyone who linked up with us last week. We had 29 friends join in! Gladys Taber wrote, “Contentment is a list with half of it crossed off.”
To-Do for the week of July 14th through 20th:
- Sew the rows together on the Iris Ann baby quilt – √ done
- Quilt one of the flowered table runners – √ done
- Start embroidery on the Salem Witches panel number three – √ done
To-Do #1
Sewing of all of the rows on Iris Ann’s baby quilt has been completed, and she’s all layered for quilting. It seems like straight-line quilting following the triangle edges is quite fitting for this quilt and that will be tackled next week.
Before we could layer up the quilt, we had to take a test ride with the Iris Ann embroidery on the backing piece. Of course, a pretty turquoise Minky fabric with emerald green thread is our first choice for the test stitching. We called the test drive a success!
To-Do #2
Another straight-line quilting project is the flowered fabric table runner. This is pretty much a similar replica to the table runner we made for my cousin’s friend, Dar. She was downsizing her home and had to give up a bunch of her fabric due to space limitations. We made her a table runner to welcome her to her new home, using fabrics that she loved.
To-Do #3
As soon as Sue had all of the tracings finished on the Salem Witches panel number three last week, there are a few more steps before embroidery can begin. First, she had to color all of the shapes. Next, the shapes need to be ironed and blotted so that the wax doesn’t run. After that, we add a pre-washed muslin strip to the back of the panel using a long basting stitch. Sue removes those basting stitches as she adds the embroidery.
July OMG

Just popping in to say I LOVE that baby quilt! Have a great week!
How nice that you made a table runner out of her favorite fabrics. You are such a thoughtful friend. You are clipping right along with your project lists – and that baby quilt is going to be so nice!
You are just humming along. The baby quilt looks great!
The baby quilt is awesome and the test run of her name looks great! I love the witches and watching those projects come to life. Good luck with this week’s tasks – you did great last week!
Iris Ann’s baby quilt is looking cool and modern, Roseanne! I really love your colors and design. I bet it will quilt up very nicely!
I love the simplicity of the design for Iris Ann’s baby quilt. It looks wonderful! Also, I curious what Sue uses to color the embroidery fabric? Have a great day, Mary.
I love the quilt top – you use minke for the backing on your quilts doesn’t that stuff shift all over the place? I have never used it.
Ann’s baby quilt turned out beautifully, love the black, pink, gray. Good luck on your list for this week.
