Carol accepting To Do Tuesday hosting responsibilities from me
Today is my final post as host for To Do Tuesday. I will continue to participate as Carol from Quilt Schmilt - For The Love of Fabric signs on as new host starting next Tuesday!
Roseanne from Home Sewn By Us and Sharon from Five Shadows - Sew. Stitch. Smile. were kind enough to give me some background on the history of To Do Tuesday. This weekly linkup was first hosted by Christine at Stitch All The Things. Sharon recalled that Christine previously had some kind of "sewing room tools" linkup prior to the To Do Tuesday weekly party. In 2019 Roseanne assumed TDT hosting until 2021 when Chris of Chris Knits volunteered. We thank them both for their weekly inspiration and fun posts! I started hosting in 2021, and now lovely Carol will become a part of TDT history!
I want to thank each of you for your kindness to me, your patience with my occasional tardiness, and the enthusiasm with which you post each week! I have loved "meeting" all of you, and getting to read your blog posts each week has been an honor as well as an inspiration (or I should say "squirrel-spiration"). I will continue to participate in as many weekly linkups as possible - it's just fun, right?
Christmas Eve dinner with our daughter!
Some of my RSC blocks destined to be a wildly scrap-patchy quilt
Now on to the business of the day! Last week my simple goals were:
✅1. Give the RBD quilt to my great-niece to take to my nephew at Christmas, and write a post about it. - Done and posted here - I handed it off to Kari who took it to Oklahoma on Christmas Day. My nephew texted me that he literally gasped when he saw it - that just made my day!
✅2. Enjoy a great Christmas with my husband and daughter. - YES! We ate at a restaurant on Christmas Eve and enjoyed a quiet, wonderful Christmas day together.
✅3. Play in my sewing room - maybe work on the Christmas quilt - lol! - I spent yesterday in my room - pulled out some of my RSC blocks to try to make into a quilt.
This week my playlist is:
1. Make my block for the 2023 SAHRR!
2. Pick out fabrics for the 2023 RBD Block Challenge.
3. Work on UFOs
Bonnie asked me about the Riley Blake Designs Block Challenge for 2023, and you can find details right here or just click on the logo in my sidebar.
I hope you will join us by linking up your post - just click below and share with us! And don't forget to check in with Carol next Tuesday - you can find her website right here!
Happy New Year!
You have been a perfect hostess and I thank you from taking it from my shoulders when things were rocky for me. Now to see if I can stay awake to post my link tonight! It was a long night with Squish last night. But such a fun day too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda for hosting in 2021, you did the job really well. Your RBD 2021 quilt is wonderful, have just been reading the post. That deer is perfect in the centre and the colours just so suit it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I forgot to say Happy New Year to you and yours. May 2023 be filled with lots of family and fun times, good health and much prosperity. 🤗
ReplyDeleteLooks like you went to a cute place for dinner! Your RSC blocks are so fun together - I think you should go for it! So glad you get to see the littles this coming weekend - I bet you're excited for that. Thanks again for hosting To-Do Tuesday all this time. It's a big commitment, and you did great!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, wow your wildly scrap-patchy quilt looks great, Love all the scrappness. All the blocks look so happy together.
ReplyDeleteAgain, Thank You so much for hosting To Do Tuesday since 2021.
Linda thank you for being the hostess for To Do Tuesday. Running a linky party does take a lot of work. I love your scrappy quilt that you have in the works. Very colorful. Have a very happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI think I had first found you through the link up - I had not heard of Carol's blog so will check her next week
ReplyDeleteI have nothing to link today, but want to thank you for hosting. Happy New Year!

Thank you so much Michelle! It has been pleasure, especially since I get to meet nice folks like you!
DeleteI'm sorry I missed To-Do-List Tuesday! Time got away from me, and I forgot to write a blog post. I really appreciate you hosting the Link-ups for the past year. I have thoroughly enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteLinda! Thank you for hosting TDT! It's been great getting to know you through this linky party. And it's fun to see what is on everyone's play list! How great that Carol is stepping in to the TDT host shoes! I plan to be there next Tuesday. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Linda!
ReplyDeleteIt must be hard on your daughter to have Christmas without her kids. Sigh. But it looks like you three had a great, no stress dinner on Christmas Eve. Are you the computer graphics pro to add little things to your photos? They are cute but beyond me! Hope you can get some sewing time this week.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Linda! Hope you enjoy your belated celebration with the littles. We are hoping to do the same thing - just waiting for everyone to (finally) be healthy at the same time. Take care. :-)
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your goals for last week, and I’m glad that you were able to accomplish all of them. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and I wish you the best for 2023! Pattie @ Olla-Podrida
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Thank you again, for the linky party fun. It's been a blast and you've been a wonderful and gracious hostess. With the mostess, of course. I will miss the weekly catch up here, but you'd better keep on sharing your progress. Hearing that your nephew GASPED when he saw the quilt!! Isn't that just the BEST THING EVER?!!?! I'm so thrilled for you and not one bit surprised. It IS a gorgeous quilt. I have been in love with those fabrics since you first shared them. The picture with you and DH and DD is priceless. What a great way to spend Christmas Eve. I like not cooking now and then, don't you?!! {{Hugs}} a bunch. I'd say Happy New Year now, but I expect to wish that closer to the day. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Linda! Thank you so much for being an awesome To-do Tuesday hostess. You are always so positive and inspiring. We do the split thing with the grandkids too. This year I we had the week before Christmas until noon. Luckily if there is a special occasion, the parents are flexible because they are all about the kids. It looks like you had a great Christmas Eve and a successful week. Look forward to seeing more!
ReplyDeleteThank you Peggy! Yes, as parents and grandparents we do become more flexible, right? Wishing you a happy 2023!
DeleteThank you for hosting and keeping all the quilters moving on their lists. Looks like a lovely time with your daughter. My son was with us, and that is always a gift. Good luck with your week....chuckling at the need to make a block for SAHRR! I have a little one, and am thinking I might use that but also a larger one; need to see what the stash has that will be fun with them.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to comment but my comments seem to go off somewhere in cyber space. I’m going to try again! I want you to know how much I have appreciated you hosting To-do-list Tuesday. You’ve been the greatest host ever, and anything that keeps us all accountable is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet Carolyn! Thank you, and I appreciate you and all the other faithful bloggers. :)
