To-Do Tuesday April 19th

Mug Rugs! Minky! EPP! And T-Shirt quilts filled my sewing time this past week.

Here’s what I planned on doing, and what I did accomplish -

To-Do Tuesday April 12th

  1. Mug rug for an April birthday ✔️
  2. EPP Homage to Grandmother’s Flower Garden ✔️
  3. Charity quilt – I’m going to see if I can sandwich and quilt a baby blanket using printed fabric and Shannon/Minky fabric. I’ve never used the fuzzy stuff but hear babies love the soft fabric. If it works I plan on using it for a back of a pieced baby quilt. ✔️
  4. More circle quilting on the Geo Zoo panel. ✗

1. Mug Rugs!

The Mug Rug on the left is for a friend whose birthday is in January. She and her hubby are snow birds spending the winter in Arizona. I’ll see her this Saturday to give her a belated birthday gift. Her favorite color is blue. I hope she likes this little 8 1/2″ square quilt.

The Mug Rug on the right is for a friend who just celebrated her birthday last week. Her favorite colors are blue and yellow. For both bitty quilts I used Bitty Barn Block patterns by This & That, there is a block for each month of the year. I thought they would work as little gifties for my quilting friends.

2. EPP Homage to Grandmother’s Flower Garden is moving along.

Here’s Week 8

And here are Weeks 1 – 8 all attached.

These rosettes are the beginning of Week 9.

3. Charity quilt

I used Minky fabric for my first time and it went well!

Now that I’ve experimented with Minky, I’ll use it on the back of a baby quilt I’m making for my new grand niece.

✗ 4. Geo Zoo Panel – I didn’t add any more quilting to this charity quilt this past week. Hope to finish it soon!

That brings us to what I hope to accomplish this coming week.

To-Do Tuesday April 19th

  1. Finish Week 9 of EPP Homage to Grandmother’s Flower Garden – the quilt-a-long is on Week 16. I started late, but I hope to eventually catch up.
  2. Sandwich baby quilt with Minky fabric and start quilting.
  3. Prepping clothing for 4 quilts for grieving family.
New this week is making 4 quilts for a family who recently and unexpectedly lost their mother. I’ve volunteered along with another quilting friend to turn clothing into 4 quilts for the adult children. We started cutting apart the clothing yesterday. Knits will need to be fused with fusible web. My friend hopes to come over this Friday and we will continue to work on prepping & cutting clothing into 6 1/2″ squares.
I hope you are all having a successful week of sewing on your projects. Take a look at To-Do Tuesday’s Link up to see what other quilters are currently working on through out the week.

    The clothing quilts sound very interesting, and how neat that you will work with others to accomplish that. Your barn block mug rugs are adorable and Grandmother’s Flower Garden is so, so pretty! Looking forward to seeing your Minky backing on your grand niece’s quilt.
    Thank you for sharing on To Do Tuesday!

    You are making amazing progress on all of your projects. I love the Homage to Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt. I am recreating the one my actual Grandma made for me in the traditional double diamond format. The mug rugs look very detailed and are fabulous! Good luck this week!
