To Do Tuesday #41

 How is it possible that the week flew by but the year seem so long.  We all seem to be in a strange place this year, where would we be without our sewing therapy. Each week several of us have been setting goals for ourselves, sometimes we achieve them and sometimes we get thrown off the path. Let's see how I did with that.

Last week I had these goals.

1. Knit more on the sock.✅

My evenings this week consisted of knitting time.  I knit over half of the sock this week!  The pink stripes yarn was given to me by a friend, there was only one skein so I mixed in a heather dark gray.  I thought it wouldn't be a pretty sock, but I love it.  I only have to kitchner the toe.  Now to get one that looks like it's mate might be tricky.  If it doesn't match exactly I am okay with that, it's only a sock afterall.

2. Work on a UFO or two ✅

This quilt was started sometime in 2019, I just can't remember when exactly.  I used this HRT tutorial from Bonjour Quilts which I have used a few times before for table runners.  The prints were from a Sundrops jolly bar. I added the green with white polka dots as the contrast along with yellow, gray and coral solids for the center of each diamond.  All of the HRT's were made and paired up when I put it away in 2019. So it came a long way last week!  Now it is back in the closet until I decide on the borders. I have a pretty coral polka dot that ties in, but I think I need a gray for a small border first.  One would think I would have a gray in my stash, but none seem to be the right color. 

This flimsy just needed off my design wall and all it needed was to have the rows joined. So that was pretty quick.  It is more of a WIP since it never got put away, LOL.  Although these were also HRT's, I made them using the Creative Grids HRT ruler that I purchased this summer after seeing Jayne's quilts she made using them.  I love using the ruler, everything matched up nicely.  This flimsy will make a great donation quilt someday. 

3. Most likely a few more table runners will need to be whipped up ✅

Yes indeed these needed to be replaced in the shop. Why only make one at a time when you can do two!  When cutting it sometimes is just about as quick to cut for two of the same because you have the fabric out. So that is what I did.  It also makes sense for when I do the applique since I have the machine threaded for that color thread.

That's it for my week.  What to accomplish this week... I need more Gnome runners, and I want to make myself and my DIL some Christmas/winter masks.  Also leaving space open for any more runners I might need to make. 

Let's join in the cheerleading parade for our goals at To Do Tuesday.  I am wishing you all a very productive week.
