July To-Do

Here's how the design wall is looking on the first day of July. As usual it's pretty full with a whole lot going on.There are several projects in stasis, sort of hibernating right out in plain sight on the left (Patchwork Palooza and Kawandii0,. In the middle what I'm working on, the Mosaic table runner and the QCR Mini Pumpklins. On the right side there is Ocean Effect, waiting for me to cut a piece of wood to size and wire it up to hang.

 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). Note, this is not the same list as the UFO Challenge for BAMQ, that UFO will have this next to it on the list:🌀🌐
