To-Do for the week of July 17th 2023:
- Finish my camping quilt top.
- Piece the back of my camping quilt.
- Enjoy being retired!
To-Do #1
I did get my camping quilt top finished this past week, and I’m very pleased with how it looks. It just makes happy looking at it!
The fabric I used for the corner squares and the outer borders is called Smoke Rust Stone in Grey. I purchased it from the Etsy shop Pink Chihuahua Fabric. The Etsy shop HunnieQuilt had a half yard in Soot earlier today but I snatched it up. I did take a screen shot of the fabric image, so some of the words that relate to the outdoors can be more easily read.
To-Do #2
I also got the back of my camping quilt pieced this past week. The outer border of parks is from a panel I purchased from Quilting Mayhem on my trip in June. I purchased the poster panel from the Etsy shop Cute Little Fabric Shop.
To-Do #3
I am continuing to enjoy my retirement. Below is a pic of a baseball game on my iPad that I was enjoying while binding my Mid Century Modern quilt.
To-Do for the week of July 24th 2023:
- Make some blocks for a beach quilt.
- Take photos of my finished Mid Century Modern quilt and write a post about the finish.
- Continue to enjoy my retirement!
Linking up to Quilt Schmilt: To-Do Tuesday.
It makes ME happy looking at your camping quilt too! It’s glorious, I love that back almost as much as the front. Great job! Will you do the quilting?

Retirement becomes you! Honestly, it is the best phase of life. Having a plan for the day helps you to not waste the day away in front of the computer. I absolutely love your camping quilt, front and back. The fabric with the words is fantastic. I have a “collection” of fabrics that are travel related, because it is my 1st love!

Love that you are enjoying retirement, stitching on binding while enjoying a game – so fun! Nice choices on fabric, too! You best snatch up those fabrics you like, I suspect you’re going to fly through fabrics now!
