I was able to get the first part of my binding done for 45 & Life to go. I still have to hand stitch the binding to the back but that will be my evening stitching goals. Since I’m on a deadline with this one, it fast tracks to the top of the homework list.

#1 – Jane Austen’s quilt – Hampshire Blocks

I didn’t bother touching this this weekend as the step I’m on is to sew these pieces together and that’s an at home project.

#2 – Monthly Door banner from 2024 – cut the final door banner kit – November.

—- This is on my homework to do list.

#3 – 2023 Saturday Sampler from QP.

I am at the “putting-the-inner-top-together” stage and next is step 5.

Here is step 4

At the retreat, I pulled this project out to do step 5 and discovered I messed up step 3.

This is what it looked like:

I spent a full day fixing these. Here’s what they finally became…

And then I was able to finish step 5…

There are several points where the rows meet that I struggled getting them right. I had to go through each one to decide whether it was worth fixing or just keeping it as is. I accepted a few of them but fixed a few. I love them now and can’t wait to get to step 6 at the next retreat.

#4 – William Morris BOM – I finished the January block! I still need to do the hexies for the October block and the February final 13th block. Then I can start the finishing for this. I’m almost getting to the finish line.

#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.
