I've started round 17 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026 in size 20 Lizbeth #649 Baby Blue. I didn't get very far, but I'm pleased with what I did complete.
Today, I focused on finishing the blue bound quilt blocks, and they are now done! I plan on laying out the blocks tomorrow and pinning them together. I'm eager to see how this pot holder quilt method works for me. I already have ideas on how to improve my technique for my next project. I just need to decide what that project will be!
I am so pleased that I was able to finish round 16 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026 today. This round was done in size 20 Lizbeth #646 Purple Iris Lt. I've already chosen my color for round 17, which I hope to start tomorrow.
I was also able to finish two more quilt blocks. I only have three more to bind and then I can start putting the blocks together!
I knew that I would not have much time for tatting today, but I did have about an hour this morning to make a little progress.
Mom needed a couple of things returned, and after that I headed to daughter Carol's house so that we could attend a bridal shower for her step-son's fiancé. We had a wonderful time!
After that, I headed to a memorial gathering for my friend Mary Lou's mother. Phyllis was a wonderful lady who lived to be 102 years old. I know Mary Lou will miss her mother, but it's nice to know that we have great memories of her to share with each other.
So much activity in one day was a clear indicator that I would not be in the mood for cooking dinner. I picked up some carry-out. The bonus was an easy after dinner clean up!
Lily practiced sewing straight lines one paper. She helped clean this machine yesterday, and was ready to give it a test run. Daron and James also took turns sewing along a line.
Next week, we hope to put together a prom dress made out of paper seed sacks, an FFA challenge. The official contest deadline has passed, but we figure that this is a trial run so that the students can enter the contest next year.
Two more quilt blocks are finished. I'm really looking forward to laying out these blocks and then sewing them together for a lap quilt.
I almost made it to the 3/4 mark on round 16 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. I'm not sure that I'll reach my goal of finishing this round by Saturday, but I should be able to finish it before the weekend is over.
Tomorrow will be a busy day, but also a fun one!
I spent some extra time at school helping kids learn about sewing machines today, so I didn't have much time to craft. However, I did manage to pass the halfway mark of round 16 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026.
I also finished one quilt block. I'll be spending extra time at school tomorrow as well, so I probably won't get too much done. Oh, well. I'm still having fun!
I almost hit the halfway mark of round 16 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. Maybe that means I can finish by Saturday.
Two more quilt blocks are finished. I hope to have them all finished by the end of next week. After that I will be able to lay out the blocks and start sewing them together. This should be fun!
I"m a little more than 1/4 of the way around round 16 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. I wonder if there's any chance of me finishing this round by Saturday?
