November To-Do

 

Here's how my design wall looks on the first day of  November. The finished Old Town Mystery quilt top is folded over but still taking up the majority of the space. And behind it but no longer quite visible is the Jane Sassaman class project, Sour Grace still pinned up there waiting for the next step.  In the foreground is the scrap box I've been working from to make the weekly Patchwork Palooza blocks. Those blocks are arranged over on the left. And pinned over everything on the right is my recently returned from being shown quilt, “Our Mistake.”

I'm continuing on with using the not-so-very-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'm keeping the Design and Finished section going forward. 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 finishing at the beginning of the year.

I'm still leaving this category here so I don't forget to use it next time

Well, given my physical absence from my workspace, not a lot of finishing happened during this past month. But, I advanced a few of projects while working on a lot of these to-do’s. It was good to touch base with them and reacquaint myself. I'm hoping that I'll be able to settle back into a groove during this new month.
