To Do Tuesday #50. Last Tuesday of 2022.

Linking up with Texas Quilt Gal

Thank you Linda for hosting this year. I have enjoyed joining in.

Week of 20th December.

• make the third and final pillowslip. Has to be done!!  Done. And I wrapped the three pillowslips around books as gifts. Mr. 9 year old used it that night as he slept outside in a tent with his Dad and said it was great. So thumbs up for that!  
• Continue with Chilhowie clue #4 of Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt. Clue  No. 4 posted and it was sewing some of the previous pieces together. I am in process.
• Sew binding on Magnolia quilt.  I have sewed on the machine part and just need to sew down the hand part at the back.k.

So what’s in the plan for Week December 27th.

Not too much, this is a lazy hot time of the year for me, and the room becomes too warm to sew but lets see.

• Finish Chilhowie blocks #4 and see what the next clue is on Saturday.
• Sew the Designer Mystery BOM block 6 together, pieces are cut out, ready.
• The next Sewcialites block will post on Friday, so I’ll do that I hope.

There are other things I could easily do, like tidying and sorting. Finishing off another top with sashing.. I shall see.

To Do Tuesday #49 Christmas in the Wings.

Last weeks plans.

• Finish quilting the Magnolia quilt and maybe machine sew on the binding to the front ready for hand sewing the back.  I finished the quilting but still need to machine sew on the binding.  
• Make pillowslip #3 and the final one I want to make.. I did make the final one but somehow it just didn’t turn out right. Will need to make another.
• Continue making the Chilhowie – Bonnie Hunter blocks and make a start on the Sewcialites block #8 when it comes out.  I finished up clue #3 and this week it’s #4. As I am making the quilt 3/4 the size of the actual one I have to make 12 sets of 8 half square triangles and 4 quarter square triangles to go with each. 3 sets done.  
• I also made the Sewcialites 2 # 8 block. Was quite challenging to make. I decided to simplify this week and didn’t do the 3 1/2″ version.  Designed by Shereece Nicole and named Interwoven.

I also went to beach with one of my sisters to try to photograph a couple of quilts for my yearly calendar I like to make but… it was extremely windy. So not very successful and we now have had so much wet weather can’t photograph outside yet. Will have to wait.

Edyta Sitar Pattern that I did, Mystery Quilt ’20 I think.

And my Riley Blake Challenge ’22 quilt. Really need to improve on this photo! Although the beach is pleasant!

Week of 20th December.

• make the third and final pillowslip. Has to be done!!
• Continue with Chilhowie clue #4 of Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt.
• Sew binding on Magnolia quilt.

And possibles if works out but could be a bit busier than usual!

• Make next Sewcialites 2 block.

To Due Tuesday #48 Butterflies and Pillowslips

Linking up with Texas Quilt Gal

Plans for the week were…

• Keep on quilting the Magnolia quilt.  I got most of it done and just have a little more to go.
• Make a second pillowslip. Done. Again followed SewVeryEasy You Tube tutorial to do it. I didn’t really have enough fabric as it was directional, so I hope after I wash it that it still fits the pillow.

• Continue to piece Clue 2 of Chilhowie, take a look at Clue 3 when it comes out.  In progress. I finished clue 2 and am working on clue three, half way through.
• Possibly some  Sewcialites blocks.  I loved Pat Sloan’s block for the Sewcialites #7 block and completed all three blocks in the fabrics I am using. Two six inch blocks and one three inch block.  

The Week from the 13th of December

• Finish quilting the Magnolia quilt and maybe machine sew on the binding to the front ready for hand sewing the back.
• Make pillowslip #3 and the final one I want to make.
• Continue making the Chilhowie – Bonnie Hunter blocks and make a start on the Sewcialites block #8 when it comes out.

To Do Tuesday #47. Keeping the Projects Going.

Linking up with Texas Quilt Gal

Plan for Week of 29th Nov into December were…

• Continue with the quilting of the Magnolia quilt. I continued, its going to take me almost to the end of the month I think as I chose a design that is taking time and not being executed that straight either! 
• Make a Sewcialite 2 block 6 I think. Done. Block 6 designed by Camille Roskelley. Called Always Star. Here it is in the 6 inch in one of the fabrics I am making. Still have another 6 inch to do and a 3 inch.
• 
• Try to figure how to make a pillowslip  with Christmas fabric. I want to make it with a flap but am bamboozled by the variety of tutorials on You Tube but aim to try and combine two that just may help me.  Done. I eventually followed SewVeryEasy You Tube tutorial to do it. It fits a pillow so it will do! 
• Make some Chilhowie blocks here and there! Clue 1 and 2 are out. I am doing 3/4 the size of the quilt so 3/4 of the number of blocks. Clue 1 is done and Clue 2 is in progress.
• I also made up the Block 12 in A Quilting Life BOM.   12 inch size. 

So Plans for week of December 6th.

• Keep on quilting the Magnolia quilt.
• Make a second pillowslip.
• Continue to piece Clue 2 of Chilhowie, take a look at Clue 3 when it comes out.
• Possibly some  Sewcialites blocks.
