Weekly goals for To Do Tuesday and OMG for July

Another week, a little more progress.  For the last week I had three goals listed, the first one was certainly a fun one...

  • Make a rope bowl with a friend who wanted to learn how to make them. ✅ My friend made the tall one, she used a thicker rope and made it into a basket for mittens. I started the oval one and couldn't decide if I wanted it taller so I stopped for now. Because I wanted it to have a fall look to it, I wrapped it with fall color fabrics in one section. Next I started the yellow one, it is a poly rope and doesn't hold it's shape as well as cotton rope does. You'll see the finish below.


  • The second goal was to put borders on my OMG quilt. ✅  Yes!  I just squeezed it in two days before the linky party was closed!  You can see the result in THIS post.
  • The third goal was to see which table runners needed to be made. ✅  I needed to remake this sunflower one.  Look closely at my props to see the finished yellow rope bowl.  The yellow and gray poly rope needed a little more gray added for interest. So I wrapped a section in gray fabric.  To end the rope nicely I swirled it, added a button in the center of it and then hot glued it to the bowl to cover where I started wrapping the gray fabric. 

That was the end of my goal list for the week. However, I did work on a few other things. Got the binding on the small lap quilt(which I can't show you for a couple weeks).  The other thing I did was pull out my fall panel supply and found this one I started and got stalled on.  Some unsewing occurred and now I need figure out where to go with it next.  This is my July OMG project. 

Only two goals this week:  
  • Quilt and bind two lap quilts.

  2. You are smart to think ahead to autumn runners already for your shop. I have a fall runner kit I bought last summer that has been tempting me. Maybe after I finish binding this next quilt.

  3. Great rope bowls, Vicki! I love the different colors. Do you wrap some sections and not others in the same bowl? They're so fun!

  5. Those bowls turned out great. I really like the gray fabric you added to the one...and the button, of course.

  6. I saw these rope bowls and they were stiff! They said half Elmer's glue and water in a tub, soak and dry...

  8. Your rope bowls look fantastic. I have always wanted to try to make one myself. That sunflower table runner is also really pretty.
