Catching up is the perfect title for this post. Lately, it’s been a bit busy here at Pieceful Thoughts. Much of the activity revolved around moving our son and daughter out of our house over the weekend. They are not going far away, and the four of us are excited for them. Our other family member, however, is not so excited. Poor Wilbs is just plain confused, wondering where two of his favorite humans have gone.
The room mostly empty, Wilbs sits and waits, wondering when our son is coming back. If that wasn’t bad enough, we also sent our loveseat with them, and the big space on the floor of the living room is perplexing, too. He does have moments of perking up and tearing through the house, though, so we’re confident he’ll adjust as the days go by. Meanwhile, we’re giving him lots of love and attention.
To Do Tuesday 59
The last TDT post I wrote was back in April. I hadn’t realized it was that long. I just needed a break from the post writing, I think. During that time, I’ve revamped my to do list a bit, so it works better for me. Let’s see what’s up for me this week.
Start
- Improv Tiles (4) – this is a small project I’m working on for my church
- Hole in the Day – an art quilt BigJ has requested, due at end of month
- Pieces of the Santa Fe Trail block for September
- Monthly Color Challenge Block for September
Continue
- Wonky Star Runner
- Two and Four QAL – hosted by Katy Quilts and Wedding Dress Blue
I am making a Wonky Star runner for a classroom at my church. Here are the stars I’ve made.
I’m having some fun with these stars. The background fabric and the white fabric glow in the dark, so I keep taking them into a dark room to see! That slows the progress just a little 
The Two and Four QAL is a scrappy quilt, so I pulled out some of my Kim Diehl/Jo Morton/reproduction fabrics for this one. There was a lot of cutting involved, but I’m caught up and ready for the next step.
Finish
- Llama Mini Quilt – I need to sandwich this and get some quick quilting done.
- QIS Challenge Quilt – this quilt needs to be quilted. The monochrome challenge has been an interesting one, and the quilt definitely turned out completely different than I had planned!
- Playtime Plus – all that’s left is the binding
Finish
- Red/Tan Quilt – prep for long arm
- Choose backings for star quilt and Coreopsis quilt
Plan
- Challenge Quilt – due November 1st
So that’s my current list for the week. I’ll be working on catching up on these projects, and see if I can cross a few off before next week.
I’ll be linking up with the To Do Tuesday crew over at Texas Quilt Gal today.
How about you? What are you catching up on this week?
