June To-Do

 

Here's the beginning of the new month design wall picture. It shows that I'm indeed working on one of my UFO projects, making the backing for the City Sampler, the big print of the snake in the garden will be the main part of the backing and I've done the math for augmenting it to be the right size. You can see the City Sampler top folded up in front of it, along with the fabrics I'll be using for the backing and the binding. You can also see that I am still not working at all on Sour Grace. That one is still pinned up on the right hand side just as it was at the end of the Jane Sassaman class in February. 

I'm continuing to use the not-so-new configuration of my to-do list below, as it more closely follows the database categories that I use to keep track of all my work-in-progress. I've added a Design section this month. Note: the use of 🥏👽  by a project name indicates that it's on the 2025 UFO Finishes challenge list of six projects that I committed to at the beginning of the year.
