The big thing that wasn't on my to do list for last week was to watch the eclipse. We ventured down to Texas so we could see totality. My Guy had the special filters and such for his camera, I didn't get that motivated. Even so, I did get a cool photo during totality.
We'd had mostly cloudy skies all morning, but we got lucky and the sun was in a clear patch for almost all of totality. This photo was taken with my cell phone with no filters. My Guy had his DSLR set up with a tripod and special filters. He's not looked at his photos yet, but I'll post a few sometime this week once he's had a chance to sort through them. I'm sure the got a few cool ones.
Since we did travel for the eclipse, I didn't get as much done on my to do list as I had hoped.
To Do List for 4/2/2024
1. 2023 SAHRR: Fabric requirements, start assembly - progress
2. Rhododendron: Work on last 2 borders ✔
3. Wild and Goosey: Work on purple blocks ✔
4. Indigo Way: Continue as leaders and enders ✔
Even though I didn't get as much done as I wanted, three check marks and progress on the fourth is still a good week.
The plan for this week will need to take some travel time into consideration. But I'll still have sewing room time after we get home to move a few things forward.
To Do List for 4/9/2024
1. Butterfly Medallion: Continue to embroider while on the road.
I've made some good headway on the next butterfly. There should be a bit more progress before we get home.
2. 2023 SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Cut fabric, assemble backing
I worked out the fabric requirements and cutting measurements, but didn't get any farther. I doubt this gets sent out before I have surgery. I've got a number of things that have to be done before I'm out of commission for a few weeks, so sewing room time is likely to be limited.
3. Rhododendron (Bonnie Hunter): Finish last border
The next to last border is attached and I'm working on sewing together the strips for the last border.
4. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making purple blocks
I won't get as many made this month as last month, but any progress will cut down on what has to be made to finish this up next year.
5. Indigo Way (Bonnie Hunter): Continue as leaders and enders
Still working on making the component for the remaining blocks.
I'm to to the point that whatever I can get done before surgery gets done. What doesn't will have to wait till I'm mobile again. Fingers crossed that doesn't take too long to happen.
Linking up with The Quilt Schmilt: For the Love of Fabric for To Do Tuesday.
