To Do Tuesday

Hi Again!  Another week gone by.  I spend a lot of time thinking about blog entries I could write, but don't seem to get to the computer to make it happen.  To Do Tuesday really helps me get at least this one done.

First, last week's goals:

1.  Quilt as many customer quilts as possible (minimum of 3)

2.  Finish refinishing the table.

3.  Finish family masks.

1.  Quilt as many customer quilts as possible.  I set a minimum of 3 knowing that I had a few things on the calendar, and I was trying to finish the table.  I got 6 done! Yahoo!  I really enjoyed working through these quilts.  Sometimes I feel like I am behind, then I realize that to totally get caught up is a myth.  So, I just keep plugging away doing to best I can.

Here is one I recently quilted for my beautiful daughter.  The I Spy blocks were given to her from our friend Kim who comes to sewing group.  She pieced them together, I quilted it and she got the binding finished.  My granddaughter loves it!

Here's the back - cuddle fabric of course!

The design is Diagonal Plaid.  She didn't want anything to detract from the blocks.  I thought this was a good option.

2.  Finish refinishing the table.  Done!  This is what I started with.  Lots of chips on the old finish.

Here it is somewhere in the middle.

 

And here it is in my kitchen!  I'm really happy with how it finished up.

Now, I am helping my daughter by refinishing her table top.  I'll have pictures of it next week.

3.  Finish family mask.  Done!  I made 2 for each child and each spouse.  I even have a few extra.  However, I still have a few to make for the College Student.  He's going to need one every day.

So the goals for the coming week?  Very similar

1.  Finish refinishing my daughter's table.

2.  3 customer quilts.  

3.  Prepare for a visitor (clean house)

Have a great week everybody! And keep on Sewing and Quilting!

Goals for the Week, July 1-6

I just saw a blog that sponsors goals for the week.  I saw it last night, too late to jump in, but I'll link up next week I think.  

However, I have decided to make some goals for the week.  I will lose some quilting time this week because of the holiday, but I still intend on getting some things done.

1.  Post 3 blog entries.  I'm okay if I do more, but this is my minimum.

2.  Organize quilts under my frame.  I store quilts to be quilted under my Forte frame.  Right now it's a mess and not in quilting order.  So, I am going to get it back in order.

3.  Quilt 2 quilts that I have had since the end of February.  Both are queen sized, one is using an edge-to-edge design, and the other is custom.  The custom one has had me pondering what to do for 4 months.  I think I might be getting there, finally.

During my quiet time, or time just sitting around with the family, I have two quilts that need the binding sewn down by hand.  These won't take very long, so I expect to share those in the coming weeks.

I also plan to Keep on Sewing!
