15 Min to Stitch and To Do Tuesday

It has been a pretty good week.  I got to meet my grandson for the first time and hold him -yay!  He came home on oxygen but is doing well.  He is so little!



I managed to sew every day (Mon-Sat) this past week, and my YTD percent has bumped up a notch.

Here is my 15 Minutes report:






1. More Quilting ✔
2.  5 more center paper pieced units in Feathered Goose 





Paper Piecing is Messy!




3.  Make a few Trail Mix blocks and cut more pieces.  I did add some pieces this week.  fail
4.  Select and sew one row in the Garden Party Row Along 

I cannot show you what I am doing for real, but I can show a teaser.  I am pretty sure this does not give anything away.



5.  Move rocks back after having to cover the garden to save it from a freezing night 
6.  Weed the garden 


7. Clean up the areas where my husband sprayed to kill weeds around the rock steps.  

I planted potted flowers.  It was super fun!








8.  Pick out my whale block and flip it around.  


Whale is resurrected!


9.  Piece a back for this quilt from leftovers. 

This week's goals:

1.  Sew and roll binding for Alaska
2.  Sew 5 more Feathered Goose center blocks
3.  Cut Trail Mix pieces and sew at least 5 blocks
4.  Make one more row for the Garden Party

  2. Beautiful baby boy in grandma's arms, how precious. You have been busy and accomplished much. You are a Wonder Whirlwind Woman! It's amazing how much you get done. Those checklists help keep things sorted. I like the antique pullman's step with the planted pail on top. Blessings.

  9. Fantastic you have finally met your grandson and that he is home. It is a lovely photo of you both. Paper piecing is messy but the blocks are stunning. The whale looks happy now 😁. Your planters look wonderful, great to have the splashes of colour.

  11. It’s such a sweet photo of the newest little one. That “smallness “ will disappear quickly. It’ll be fun to have them both home. Hope mommy is getting some well needed rest.

    That Feathered Geese is just gorgeous. Paper piecing is messy, but I love the accuracy. Maybe the whale wanted to swim upside down. 😂

  12. What a little cutie! So glad he was able to come home and get to know the rest of the family. Congrats on all the stitching time, with all the other stuff going on that your stats are pretty impressive.

  13. I was having trouble seeing your Feathered Goose blocks as being the same as Judy's pattern. After studying some other quilts made from the pattern, it clicked with me. I have to say that your fabric choice in style in color is the best I have seen.
