15 Minutes and To Do Tuesday

I finally got my percentage up to 80 percent.  Going a couple of months without sewing really set me back.

15 Minutes Report:


To Do Tuesday Report

Last week:

1. Make a Celestial Star
2. Make scissor blocks for Crazy Quilty Ladies 

3. Finish the $ Building Blocks BOM for this month ✅

I am making 4 of these quilts.  You can tell by the different color ways.  As for this block, it is cute but oh was it not fun to make.  I would have made it different from the designer.

Below you can see block 1 and 2 months side by side on all 4 quilts.



4. Bind my Tulip Winnings Quilt.  It is just returned from the quilter and WOW, she did an amazing job on a very simple quilt. 
5. Make Week 5 of the Spring Mystery BOM - half way done
6. Cut out Tula Pink's Pineapple Quilt 
7. Eat healthy 

8. Exercise daily - not every day 

Look at the gorgeous quilting my lady did on the tulip quilt!  I won these blocks at a retreat and wasn't completely in love with them.  I am now!  Quilting can make such a difference!








This week I hope to just enjoy time with my grand sons. We will be camping without electricity. It will be hand work for me.  I plan to take my hexies for the mystery and maybe some applique for the last week's instructions if I can get it ready.

We took a Sunday drive to visit my son and his wife.  They live in a beautiful place!  Our son took us for a little tour of the ranch and we saw some red rock sights.  





The two photos below are taken right from his front porch.  I think I could take in this view every day and be a happy woman.

Celestial Star Progress and more...

 I completed two more Celestial Star blocks this week. I am honestly surprised at how much time they take.  I still plan to outline embroider the elephants to help them stand out.




I also completed another exchange block. 


Not having been truly happy with my border on Tulip Winnings,  I took them off and added a white border before the red one.  I like it much better.

Before



After. You can see the backing fabric I chose.  It is all about friendship which was the quilt retreat theme where I won the blocks.  I love it!


Been enjoying the grands again this week...
