To-Do Tuesday #95

Good morning!  I'm checking in with Chris and friends at Chrisknits to share my to-do list for the week. 

I have finally finished the quilting on Rainbow Strings!    


The binding is made and ready to be sewn on, which will be this afternoon's job, and I'll do the final hand-stitching during the evenings this week.  I'm so ready for this quilt to be finished!


That will be my main goal for the week.  

Other things on last week's list included continuing to work on the plus blocks for the Positivity QAL and working on finishing some small embroideries.  I did make progress on both of those,  which you can read about HERE!

Sometime this week, Angela will announce the July color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, so at that point I'll get to work on some blocks for my RSC projects. 

*Realizing that it was time to do something about the Feedburner/Email followers issue, I joined follow.it and have added a new "follow by email" widget at the top of the right-hand column.  I haven't figured out how to move those of you who already follow by email over to the new system yet, so you might want to re-sign up!  Also, you can follow me on Bloglovin or Feedly.*

    Great plans for the week. Thanks for the follow.it tip. I think I'll look into that myself. I know my sister misses her email notifications.

    Congrats on all the progress last week. It always feels so good to get close to a finish. I looked at Follow It this weekend, but stalled at actually getting it set up. I guess I need to do that soon. Thanks for the reminder. Happy stitching this week.

    Congratulations on getting your string quilt quilted! You are a rock star! I’m anxious for a new RSC color too! Any guesses?

    It's looking great and you're on the home stretch! That little "woo-hoo" penguin in the pic is adorable!! Maybe you've mentioned this before on your blog but I'm assuming that you have a huge love of penguins and thus the blog name? Any more to that story? (call me Nosey!)

    Another finish on the horizon. You're knocking them out of the park. I started a list today of which blogs have moved to Follow.it, which to Bloglovin' (which I confess, I don't understand how it works), and which haven't done anything (so I know who I'm missing and need to look up. What a bother.

    Hi Diann, are you using a service for your Follow By Email? If so, would you share it? I have looked at various "free" services but am afraid some of them invite spam for the subscribers - ugh.
