To-Do-List Tuesday 10-15-24
What a week it’s been. I am sincerely glad it’s over. I lost a couple of important things, one of which I still haven’t found, and I got the dreaded call from the CPA to let me know how much I owe on my income tax. It was much more than I expected, which is never good news. I was able, though, to get some sewing done, and my list looks pretty good.

To-Do-List Tuesday 10-8-2024
This is an update to the list from a couple of weeks ago. I was on vacation after I made the list, and then we had the quilt show, which kept me from working on my usual stuff. I am pretty much back in the groove now, and this is where things ended up.
1) Quilt and bind the raffle quilt. Yes.
It’s done and out of the shop.I wish the Tim Holtz fabrics showed up better in my pictures. They are really nice.

Women of the Bible Quilt
I had a chance to think about how I want to do my WOTB quilt, and after much back and forth, I decided to use a pack of solids I got recently.
They are all half-yard cuts, and I have a couple yards of the border fabric (on the bottom of the picture). I think it needs more pink and orange and maybe a dark blue, so I will order some more colors, including lights to use in the backgrounds.
For reference, this is what the finished quilt should look like without the borders.
I am going to do two of each of the blocks, as it is a big quilt, and I can donate one of them to next year’s auction.
The first one is Eve.
I also finished Sarah and Rachel.
So far, it’s holding my interest, even though I would have rather done it a as BOM or a sew-along.
Interestingly enough, I have one in my shop to be quilted. It was done by a friend, and she used patriotic fabrics.
It’s so large, I couldn’t get a very good picture, but most of it shows.Wednesday, October 2, 2024
Victoria Quilt Show 2024 Part 3
There were others that got made that weren’t displayed. They are all pretty, and it’s interesting to see how individuals interpret the same pattern.
