Prairie Moon Challenge update

Prairie Moon Organization Challenges 

I don't know what the November challenge is, but here is my original post for the October challenge and the November challenge.

Clear off your main work surface

My pressing station has my red scrap bin on it, so I need to get that put away.

My cutting station is a Christmas mess right now.

As soon as DD wakes up and decides what needs to be given to an angel tree gift, I will put the rest away.

To Do List 2024

    My to-do-list for 2024

I made some new starts, but I've not finished many UFOs recently.

1. Donna's memory quilt or two, depending on how it goes together.

I have the second box and have started deconstructing it.

I think I have decided on at least one of the patterns.

3. I'd like to make some memory teddy bears from Rob, Lillian, and Donna's leftovers.

Lillian's bears are cut.

I need to mix the two fabrics to mix and match the bears.

They will give me one more shirt next month to make the 10th bear.

I mixed up the fabrics and started one bear, but have not finished anything.

4. Wedding quilt

(This one may be delayed for a bit)

I have 5 of the one block done.

I need to make 4 of the second block to ensure this will work.

I don't know how big it will become.

5. Ashley's High School Graduation Quilt

All the T-shirts are deconstructed.

9. At least one of the Stashbuster UFO numbers each month (12/24 in the year)

Finished 8/22 (36%)

The year has not been as expected with all the health issues, so having completed anything is a bonus.

March #2 5-Pocket Pouches

I'm using these as leaders/enders to prepare all the pockets, and then I'll put them all together at once.

March #53 Christmas Trees

This will have more mug rugs made.

It really isn't Christmas trees. 

I won't remove it from the list until I've used all the paper-pieced printouts.

April #19 is Bench Pillows/Door decorations/swatter sweaters

May #11 Ashley's HS Organization/Miscellaneous T-shirt Quilt

June #3 A Heritage Quilt

 I'll take it with me on vacation and finish cutting.

Had a problem, so it still needs to be cut out.

August #6 America's Pride

This is an applique project.

The applique is traced on the fusible.

There will be hand stitching after everything is fused.

August #34 Butterfly Bliss Panel

It's going in time out.

September #1, 2019 Shop Hop

It's not even going to be looked at.

September #27 Bow Ties

Again, it's not even going to be looked at.

October #12 Ashley T-shirt Quilt

I would love to do this one for Christmas.

October #66 Dear Jane

I doubt that I'll even look at this one.

November #8 Arrowhead

This is one that I want to finish.

It is named Arrowheads, but I used Christmas fabrics.

November #17 Bears - Lillian (10)

I have one almost together, and I want them done for Christmas, so I hope to finish the 10.

December #9 Artic Wolf

December #82 Fish Quilt

This one is already completed

10. Complete 80% (9-10) of the All People Quilt Challenge projects.

Trip to Lake Palestine

DD and I took a girl's trip to Lake Palestine, Flint, TX 

We took sewing along.

It was a rest and sew weekend.

I did more resting than sewing.

I used up leftover blocks and made a table runner

This is for a pattern called 16-patch.

I have 8 for of this block to make and then on to the other two blocks.

I also worked on 16-Patch Delight.

I need 8 more of these and then two more block sets.

When I got home, I had a sewing day with a friend.

Made microwave bowl cozies.

These are fabric closet safes. 

They are for when you travel and want to stash some valuables.

Hanging in your closet, they appear to be part of your clothing.

I need to load some things on the long arm and quilt them.

I've not long armed since the end of July.

Design wall Monday

     Design Wall Monday

Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

My design walls are bare.

I can't show you one of the design walls because it is a test quilt.

The other is bare.

I did finish the petal pop pillow.

Hope everyone has a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving.
