September Sallies Forth

So here we are as September sallies forth onto the monthly stage. I'm going to be traveling again this month to Spokane, and maybe to Copenhagen if my passport renewal comes back in time. I'm also starting a new class with Jane Dunnewold on Gelli Plate printing this week. A whole lot to look forward to and hopefully some time in there to get some quilting work done too. The monthly marker photo was edited in kaleidacam and snapseed.

It started with this photo of a vintage post office box in the lobby of the fancy old hotel I got to stay in while I was in Spokane.

Here's the 1sE video for last month, all thirty-three seconds of it.

Monthly I-Did List ~ August

1. I finished piecing all of the blocks for the Old Town Mystery quilt. I worked on assembling the blocks and the pieced sashing into the center of the quilt top. I put together the three borders, two of which are pieced that will surround the center of the quilt top.
2. I helped piece a Community Giving quilt top at Sew Day.
3. I started catching up on making the weekly blocks for Patchwork Palooza. I also started making the in-between blocks for this quilt too.

August was certainly...a month,  I got to travel to Spokane to be included in a medical study. Traveling on my own was a new experience for me, and took some recovery time. I'm a little underwhelmed with my productivity this month, but I guess it's to be expected. Everyone takes August off right? But then I look at my design wall and see the Old Town quilt top center and the Patchwork Palooza blocks and am pretty happy with what I actually did get done this month.  I was quite active on social media, posted on BlueSky 31 times, on Flashes 9 times, on Instagram 7 times.  I attended the BAMQ SewDay, went hiking with family, swam in my mom's new community's pool and got my yearly flu shot . That was a whole lot! On to September...
