November To-Do

 Here's how my design wall is looking on the first day of November. Similar to last month with big changes to the Lupine Mystery quilt top which is almost done.Patchwork Palooza and my finished Kawandii are still pinned up on there on the left. The rows of the Lupine Mystery quilt still dominate the majority of the space and I really want to just get it done and off of there!

 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:🌀🌐

Body Pillow-knit cotton pillowcase - 🌀🌐  Yay! It's awesome and cozy and I'm so glad it's done. 

California State Park Centennial Quilt block. Not even on the list last month as a to-do but it should have been.

Continuing on with the seventh month in a row with some actual finishing happening. 

Once again, the finishes are fairly small projects, relative to the others remaining on the UFO lists, but that they actually got done is still the main thing. 

I'm definitely taking that ongoing finishing energy with me into November.
