- Start an I Spy quilt for Dominic – √ done
- Hoppy Easter and Happy April Fool’s Day
To-Do #1
Last week, I chain pieced rows 11 through 17. Then I ironed rows 11 and 12, and started trimming them. Sue had a late meeting so I quickly sewed those two rows together but didn’t iron them or add them to the bigger pieced set. That was Tuesday and I didn’t go back in the sewing room the rest of the week. Until Saturday. I was on a mission, and guess what is now a complete flimsy??!! Yes indeed, Postcard is all together. I was celebrating no more trimming until Sue burst my bubble and reminded me that I’m making some pillow shams too. Oh shoot. Wanna see a sneak peak? I’ll share a post later this week . . .
To-Do #2
Buttonholing on rows 5 and 6 did indeed happen this past week. I added them to the design wall rows from last week. Three more rows to go and then . . . should we add a border or not??
To-Do #3
Dominic does need an I Spy quilt, and Dr. Auntie Claus Sue started going through our stash. She says we need at least 99 blocks . . . we have a ways to go! Dominic will be in school by the time we collect enough fabric.
Only 70 or so more to go . . .
To-Do #4
Check out Sunday’s post for an adorable picture and a genuine wish from Dominic. ~smile~
April OMG Goal:
Our Elm Street Quilts April OMG goal is to quilt and bind the second animal panel quilt. This is also on our PHD list of UFOs.
To-Do April 2nd through April 8th:
- I’m bored with all our ongoing projects – I have no idea what we’ll work on this week. It will be a shock to all of us!
We wish you a week filled with many blessings and good sewing/quilting vibes!
Our other Linky Parties can be found by clicking the link or along the sidebar on our website for more quilting fun – check out what our friends are up to. Like/follow us on our Facebook page and you can share your photos of what you’re working on. We would love to see them!
Roseanne, congratulations on the quilt top finish. That went together a lot quicker than I thought. Where’s the photo? 😊
I know – many projects and suddenly the boredom sets in. So a good idea to stop, step back and wait till your heart speaks. Whatever you get into all the best for it.
I have quite a few novelty prints that I’d love to give you. Tell me the size of square and send you boy-ish ones I have. No child should have to wait for 4-5 years for a quilt!
There are three more ISpy fabrics coming your way. Sorry I didn’t have more that were all cotton.
You are very ambitious!!! I am in love with your puzzle quilt. Is it applique? I assume that why you are using the buttonhole stitch . Either way, you are doing a great job!❤️❤️
Postcard top all done…yay! Focus will keep your mind from wandering!
I hear ya on the bored with all your projects-but keep the final goals in mind and you will be fine;)
I’m not even posting today (and didn’t Wednesday either). I have my nose to the sewing needle, working on Postcard. Ready to be done with it, so I can sew other stuff!!
Great list! What size squares are you collecting for Dominic’s quilt? I can check my stash and send you some more. I am always doing I spy quilts.
