January To-Do

Here's how my design wall is looking at the very beginning of the month (and year). The only real change is that most of the mini "trunk show" is now down and the Patchwork Palooza sashing is now taking up a lot of space.

Note: the use of 🥏👽  by a project name indicates that it's on the 2026 UFO Finishes challenge list of six projects that I committed to finishing at the beginning of the year (more on that list later).

Once again, no actual finishing happened during this past month. But, I noticed that I got to change out the pictures for five out of eighteen of these to-do. I'm counting it as good to keep progressing on many fronts all at once. Continuing to keeping on keeping on....
