Weekly To-Do #42 End of January

Happy Birthday Carol and Janice!  We hope you each have a fabulous birthday!  This is our 42nd edition of our weekly to-do list and the last one for January.  I share this post on Beth’s Cooking Up Quilts website on Monday, and Tuesday’s linky party can be found on Christine’s Stitch All the Things website. ~smile~

To-Do Tuesday for the week January 22nd through 28th:

1. Sew a couple of Regatta Quilt strips – √ done
2. Start on the Fluffer project – √ done
3. Start quilting the Grandma’s Kitchen table runner – √ done

To-Do #1

I did indeed sew a few more strips together for the Regatta Quilt.  I’m a few ahead as well, since I sewed rows 4, 7, and 8.  Thankfully I noticed BEFORE I incorrectly skipped over rows 5 and 6.  Sue asked ME how they got out of order!  Like I went over to her area and messed them up . . . humph.  I believe we have sections A and B together now.  Twelve rows at any rate, or six of the nineteen solid colored strips.

To-Do #2

Our friends Cindy at In a Stitch Quilting and Tracy at It’s A T-Sweets Day are hosting a Mystery Quilt Along.  There is really only one requirement for this QAL, and that is to use Fluffer Nutter fabric by Moda.  We have cut a few strips to start our Fluffer & Picnic project.

I guess from this photo you really have no idea what we’re going to do with these strips.  Maybe we don’t either!  HAHA!  I sure do like these two colors together though.  Very nice . . .

To-Do #3

The table runner was constructed last week, and my task for this week was quilting.  I was able to get it all quilted using a variety of techniques.  Straight-line stitching and ruler work were combined on this runner.  It ended up a good size, and I will share all the details in a post later this week.  I’ll also share what I learned on my first major attempt with rulers.  I will definitely use them again – there is a learning curve but not such a steep one that it is daunting.

January OMG Goal:

Our January OMG goal is to completely finish the Dr Seuss commission quilt this month.  This is already finished – can you even believe it?!  I posted our message about meeting this challenge on Elm Street Quilts January Finish the first day we could.  Hmm, now what should we do for February?!

To-Do January 29th through February 4th:

1. Sew another couple of strips for the Regatta
2. Finish the Love Quilt a.k.a. Nobody’s Perfect coined by Sue
3. Determine our February OMG
4. Watch the Super Bowl – well, halftime at least

I wish you a week filled with many blessings and good sewing/quilting vibes!
