To-Do Tuesday, May 10, 2022

Allergy Season! I’m feeling it today.

Here’s what happened this past week in my sewing room.

To-Do Tuesday, May 3 – 10, 2022

  1. EPP attach Week 10 to the quilt, prep Week 11. ✔️
  2. Baby quilt  ✔️
  3. I’ve been given my Dad’s shirts to make memory items for family. Pillows? Aprons? I want to make two each to send to my siblings and then they can see if their adult children would like either. That’s the plan for now. I hope to have these four completed and mailed for Father’s Day.  ✗

1. English Paper Piecing

Weeks one through ten of Homage To Grandmother’s Flower Garden. I’m using 1/2″ paper hexies. The flowers are left over Fossil Fern fabrics from a quilt I made for the grand daughter.

Week 11 is almost ready to attach to the rest of the quilt.

2. Baby quilt for my new great niece.

I’m currently stitching-in-the-ditch. I’m using a textured Shannon Minky fabric on the back.

The quilting is going surprising well with using a walking foot. I’m thinking about quilting a flower in the center of the four blocks.

3. I’ve not gotten in to the bag of Dad’s shirts yet. At least I’m thinking of the possibilities. One little step at a time.

What will be on my to-do list for this week?

To-Do Tuesday, May 10, 2022

  1. Keep plugging along on the EPP.
  2. Finish the Minky backed baby quilt.
  3. Meeting with my quilting group Friday – two of us will work on memory clothing quilts for a mutual friend’s family. But first we are meeting at a newly relocated quilt shop. I hear it is bigger and better. Quilts n Gifts in Bluffton, IN.
I’m dropping working on Dad’s shirts this week. But will keep ideas percolating on the back burner.

Has anyone use Terial Magic on fabric for their quilts, or on clothing for quilts? I’d like to hear about anyone’s experience with it. Here is a link.

Happy Stitching and Piecing this week!

    Hi,
    Your EPP is really pretty, love those colors. And your grandmothers flower garden is looking good. Have a great day!

    1/2″ hexies – eeeek! I like the apron idea for a memory item. That is a cute baby quilt. Have fun at the quilt shop! I recently purchased Mary’s Best Press for the first time. If I had heard of Terial Magic first, I would have bought it instead, based on the reviews I’ve read.
    Thanks for sharing with To Do Tuesday!
