To Do List for the Week of 04/15/2025 from Life In Pieces

It's the halfway point in April. Already? My progress this month is a bit of mixed bag. I'm doing well on some things and no so hot on others. The progress on the to do list is a bit spotty for last week.

1. 2025 SAHRR: Prep quilt for quilting - progress

2. On Ringo Lake: Finish borders ✔

3. Kate's Choice: Learn to use the walking foot on my machine ✔

4. 2025 Guild BOM: Cut pieces for June blocks - no progress

5. Wild and Goosey: Finish blue and make red blocks ...

To Do List for the Week of 04/08/2025 from Life In Pieces

I saw a meme on Instagram stating that someone should pour out Mother Nature's beer while she's doing all 4 seasons in 24 hours cause she's drunk enough. I'm sure there are a lot in the US that agree with that sentiment. Hopefully we'll actually see some spring weather this week (without tornadoes and floods would be nice).

It was a good week to hang out in the sewing room and work on last week's to do list.

March 2025 PHD report from Life In Pieces

We are a few days into April so it's time to look back at what got done last month and post a March PHD report and join the linky party over at Ms P Designs USA. I appreciate these monthly look backs, especially when I have no finishes. It helps me remember that I did actually do stuff even though there are no updates to my PHD tracking sheet.

No new starts either, so I'm at least not adding to my UFO list yet. There was some good progress on several projects this month.

An oldie, but goodie ...

March was a pretty productive month, fingers crossed April is as well. I did pretty well with my last to do list for March.

To Do List for 03/25/2025

4. Wild and Goosey: Making blue blocks ✔

2025 SAHRR: A Finished Quilt Top from Life In Pieces

It seems my modus operandi these days is to take my projects with deadlines down to the wire. The quilt parade link up for the 2025 SAHRR kicks off today over at Quilting Gail. I finished the last borders on my version yesterday just before lunch.

This has become one of my favorite quilt alongs. Coming up with a block to meet the prompt and making it fit in the dimensions for that border is part of the challenge and the fun. It's also improved my piecing skills on small blocks.

This is my third year participating in the ...

My creative week with a finished challenge piece and a finished top for another challenge from Not Afraid of Color

For this week, I'll start with my entry into the Project Quilting prompt to "button it up"

I pulled out the button box for inspiration and the yellow scrap box. I knew I wanted to make a sculpture of sorts, a 3-D box maybe....

starting with this small piece that looks painted

Three pieces of peltex stabilizer cut 3" X 5" and placed them with a small space for folding.

glued the fabric over edges

For lining, I put a slightly smaller strip then pulled the yellow fabric over to cover the raw edges and quilted it.

folded it ...

To Do List for the Week of 03/18/2025 from Life In Pieces

Even with lots of stitching time, I'm finding it hard to get to every item on my to do list. Mostly because I still have a couple of projects with deadlines, the SAHRR and the guild BOM. I probably should have stuck to a shorter list for last week.

To Do List for 3/11/2025

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Finish April Blocks ✔

2. SAHRR: Start on finial borders ✔

3. Chocolate Marshmallows: Make backing - no progress

4. On Ringo Lake: Cut pieces for last block - no progress

5. Wild and Goosey: Continue making blue blocks ✔

To Do List for the Week of 03/11/2025 from Life In Pieces

There was a good bit of sewing to deadlines this last week. I try hard to avoid that as my stitching time is supposed to be relaxing and meditative. Of course it was my own fault, I had plenty of time to work on my projects, I just got sidelined with the new and shiny. At any rate, it all paid off and last week's to do list has lots of check marks.

Border 6 for the SAHRR from Life In Pieces

Last week it seemed like we had more winter than spring. This week is looks like we'll have more spring than winter. I'm ready for that, but not the severe weather part of spring. Cleaning out the tornado shelter is on my housekeeping list for this week. Hopefully we won't need it this season, but we usually use it at least once in the spring. Just part of life when you live in Oklahoma.

I spent most of Saturday in the recliner with a sinus headache, but it abated enough on Sunday for me to spent the ...

February 2025 PHD Report from Life In Pieces

No surprise that February went fast. I just wasn't ready for how fast it went. Now that we've moved into March, it's time to post a February PHD report and join the linky party over at P Designs USA.

There's been no change in my PHD tracking sheet.

No finishes, but no new starts either. So not good, but not bad either. Though I've not had any finishes, there has been progress on several projects.

To get finishes, backings are needed. I didn't get very far with my plan to move Chocolate Marshmallows (Seabreeze ...

My creative week spent sewing on my round robin quilt from Not Afraid of Color

I spent my creative time this week in my wee studio, adding to my Stay at home Round Robin quilt

the prompt was Kite blocks... I started with a search online to see them, and for my whimsical house piece decided to make them look like kites, and used blue sky scraps (Thanks, RSC!) plus scrap triangles from feedsack fabrics

I did them improvisationally. cut a rectangle from a blue scrap, then cut that in half on an angle both directions. Now to add a triangle that meets on the tips after sewing

did that on all four corners ...

The 2025 SAHRR: Borders 5 and 6 from Life In Pieces

I spent a lot of time in the sewing room this weekend playing catch up with the 2025 Stay At Home Round Robin (Quilting Gail).

Last time I posted about this project only two sides of border #4 were finished and attached. I did finish all the log cabin blocks for border #5.

I must admit, I stole the log cabin corner idea from several other bloggers. I don't remember everyone that used that approach, but thank you for sharing that idea. I decided to use the prompt for border #6 to fill in the the rest of the ...

To Do List for the Week of 02/25/2025 from Life In Pieces

The drive home from Texas was mostly uneventful. But it's a long time to be in the car, it's a 9 hour drive. The worst part was the heavy fog from College Station to Waco, thankfully there wasn't much traffic. But I was pretty tired when I pulled into the driveway. I ended up in bed a good hour before my normal bedtime last night, but feel much better this morning.

I got in several solid days of stitching time last week, but because I was so behind on my priority projects (projects with deadlines), I didn ...

my creative week -- SAHRR, PQ and RSC (acronyms week) from Not Afraid of Color

Welcome to this week's creativity round-up! I have four projects to share this week so on with the show!

Starting with project quilting's prompt, "inspired by your birthstone color" For me it's

"emerald"

I started with collecting inspiration photos online, and printing them onto one sheet of paper.

see the images printed out there on the table?

if I had more than one week for this (and didn't start 4 days in! lol) I might have done the emerald city, or a palm frond. I cut out 3 paper hearts, taped them together, and cut the ...
