To Do Tuesday 1-17-23

RBD Block #2 Fanfare by Jill Finley

As I was preparing this post, it's a good thing I looked at the list I posted last week, because I had forgotten all about the block for the Riley Blake Challenge! I hurriedly finished it up so I could check it off my list - lol! I am linking today to Carol at Quilt Schmilt!

Here is RBD block #1  - The Cottage Garden by Beverly McCullough.

I have suffered from brain fog this past week. My husband and I are still recovering from our colds, with coughing and low energy. The Cross My Heart quilt was shuffled aside - onto my longarm table to be exact. It's a good place to store projects when I'm not quilting! I was unable to do anything on it this past week, but that's OK.

Jack was very helpful this past week. Here he is checking for loose threads on the SAHRR block.

Here were my goals last week:
✅1. Continue to work on SAHRR block - Done and posted about it here
✅2. Make RBD challenge block for this week - Done and pictured above
❌3. Try to finish Cross My Heart quilt

My playlist for the coming week:
1. RBD challenge block #3
2. Apply the SAHRR prompt for the week
3. Make Cross My Heart blocks

I am linking with Carol, who is our gracious To Do Tuesday host! Do take a few minutes to visit her blog and see what other bloggers are up to this week!

  1. Brain fog is no fun at all. I had a few days of it when I had Covid, but I'm pretty sure it was due to the Benadryl. Hopefully the fog has dissipated and you are back to normal operations. Looking forward to seeing your SAHRR come together. Happy stitching this week.

  2. I'm so sorry to hear you were sick and brain-fogged this week, Linda! That is no fun at all. Your Riley Blake blocks are just gorgeous - I love those colors. That's a lot of HSTs - I imagine it was a labor intensive block to put together!

  3. Your blocks are fabulous! I especially like the SAHRR center block! It’s going to be gorgeous! Just as your last 2 entries have been! I tried a couple of years ago and failed miserably! Maybe I’ll give it another try!

  5. I sure hope you are feeling better. The cough always seems to linger... Your RBD blocks are so pretty. I love the fussy cutting you did on number 2.

  7. Hope you will fully recover soon Linda, but take it slow. Love your Riley Blake blocks, I'm not doing it this year but still enjoy keeping an eye out for the blocks.

  8. Hi Linda. So sorry to hear you are left with brain fog. That’s an awful side effect. I hope it starting to clear. I’m impressed with what you managed while you are I’ll. Those blocks are all so pretty. Can’t wait to see what you do with your SAHRR block. Thank you for Linking with To Do Tuesday. Feel better and enjoy your sewing time. 😉 Carol

  9. I love the colors you are using for your Riley Blake, I am just using my scrap box and will see what I come up with. Probably a mess, but it's fun. I think I might use your SAHRR block for a monthly color block, after reducing the size.

  10. That is such a pretty block with the colorful center. Is it a dragonfly?

    1. It is actually part of a butterfly - my fussy cut was too big for the center! :D

  11. I like your RBD block. Fibro/Menieres also brings brain fog. It is no fun. When I get it (usually with extreme lovely Texas weather changes) I try to either watch a no brained show and do no brained things mostly hand work. It is no fun and takes away time from what we really want to do! Hope you and hubby feel better soon! Hugs

    1. I feel for you if that is a common thing with Meniere's - it is hard to concentrate on sewing for sure!

  12. I really love the fabrics in your RBD blocks. I am sorry that you have been filling under the weather.
