I finished the last local mini with a bang and got a lot of progress on several projects. Nothing was finished but progress was made.

This year I will not be attending a lot of the bigger, out of town retreats as I’m trying to be still right now. I’ve got travel dreams but nothing solidly planned yet.

Here’s my plans for the next retreat coming up.

#1 – Jane Austen’s quilt – I originally planned on bringing my larger machine to sew the interfacing to the fabric but I’ve finished that part of the first block so I don’t need to. I plan to start the second step at this retreat.

#2 – Monthly Door banner- cut 1 door banner kit – November.

#3 – 2023 Saturday Sampler from QP.

I’m at the “putting-the-inner-top-together” stage and next is step 3.

#4 – William Morris BOM – The next blocks to make are September, October, November, and December.

At the last retreat I prepped August and September and I finished the August block as part of my quilty time at home. As of writing this post, the September block is still in queue.

#5 – Tula Pink Butterfly 2.0 – Find out where I am next

#6 – Spooky Halloween – Row 2, block 3 – take a picture

I’ve started it and I’m needle turning the traditional method. I want to prep the next block as I work some in Block 3.

#7 – Tuella and Friends.

#8 – “Allietare” Bonnie Hunter’s mystery quilt from 2015 – My goal with putting this here is to start getting it into my queue. I don’t have time for it now but it’s on this list to start making its way from my head, to actually working on it.
