To-Do Tuesday, January 31, 2023

The last day of January, can you believe it!?

We are back into a cold snap here in NE Indiana. 11 degrees when I got up this morning. It will stay below freezing most of this week according to the weather channel. For me, that means a space heater running to keep bathroom pipes from freezing.

It will be nice to stay cozy inside and do hand stitching.

Here’s my progress for the past week -

To-Do Tuesday, January 24, 2023

  1. Homage to Grandmother’s Flower Garden! ✔️
  2. Pick a machine sewing project.  ✔️

1. Homage is coming along -

Week 44 stitched

And attached.

Week 45 stitched, part of top edge of quilt!

And attached!

Week 46!

And this is what the back of the hexies look like when attaching week 46 to the quilt. I honestly didn’t realize I had completed so much on Homage this past week until I looked back at last week’s post.

2. New quilt projects, two Squirrels!

Moda had a weekend charm pack challenge earlier this month with a free pattern. I pulled fabric to make two from my charm pack stash. Ha ha! I sewed up one this week. Made with a Kona Solid charm pack by Robert Kaufman- oops not Moda! –  and Moda Zen Chic fabric for back ground.  I added a border with HST in corners to enlarge a bit. 39 1/2 ” square.

Then Wendy Sheppard of Ivory Spring hosted a Crockpot SAL that also used charm packs. She had links to crockpot recipes so ppl could make easy meals and sew all weekend. I didn’t use the recipes but I did grab the free pattern.

I used a bright Moda Poems from Pebbles charm pack for this one. HST made and trimmed. Sewing is under way but no photos yet.

    I love your hexie quilt. That addition of the dotted fabric around each white block is the perfect touch.

    I can’t believe how close you are to being done with your Grandmothers Garden. It is beautiful. So are your bright happy Squirrel projects. Great job on last week’s list. Stay warm and have fun sewing this week. Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday.

    It’s been awhile since I looked at your homage pieces – I’m still in love with them. I love that Moda block! I was going to participate in the weekend crockpot thing, but I was too tired from babysitting the day before – lol! But I do have the pattern and have my HSTs ready to go. Enjoy the rest of your week!

    Your Moda challenge project is lovely – love those pops of yellow!
    I love the idea of a Crockpot SAL! I may have to have a crockpot weekend!
