To-Do Tuesday Linky #33 & Weekly Progress Update

Join us for the 33rd linky party post and the 153rd edition of the weekly to-do list.  Thanks to everyone who linked up with us last week.  “Contentment is a list with half of it crossed off,” wrote Gladys Taber.

Happy Birthday to our friend, Mary!  We hope you have a very special day filled with love and laughter.

Here’s the special cake I received from Mary!

To-Do for the week of March 17th through 23rd:

1. Ballet in downtown Chicago – √ done canceled
2. Something for the blog hop – √ done
3. Complete the Mayflower block – √ done

To-Do #1

Unfortunately, our great-niece, Sierra, was not able to come and perform for many of her peeps.  Sue and I were supposed to meet nine of our family and friends in downtown Chicago for a bite of lunch followed by the ballet.  It wasn’t meant to be this year, but here’s a picture I snagged of one of their last performances.

To-Do #2

Our day for the Qwazy Quilt Queens blog hop was yesterday and we did manage to eke out our project, just in the nick of time.  Having had ample time to be quite creative, the pandemic knocked all previous inspirations right out of me.  I was happy to have something to share and here’s our Quackers placemat!

To-Do #3

This block found itself finished several days ago . . . basically, before my sewing mojo took a hike.  I nearly sewed the sails backward – maybe my breeze was coming from the opposite direction?  I don’t know, but I caught it in time to match Melva’s Pieces From the Past instructions.

March OMG

Thank you to Patty’s at Elm Street Quilts and her linky party which opened on the first.  This project is complete – I’ll link up to Patty’s linkup as soon as it opens.  Here are Baaaddi and Quackers, the fun, friendly, colorful placemats for our littles.

To-Do for the week of March 24th through 30th:

1. T-shirts trimmed to size and interfacing cut
2. Layout the hexies for a baby quilt
3. The Russian Sunflower block is released on Thursday – pick out fabrics
