To do List 2024

   My to-do-list for 2024

It's been a slow month for completions.

The NBAQG QuiltFest took up most of my time.

Since that time, I have accomplished zero in September, and doubt there will be much more in October.

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.

Prairie Moon Challenge

 

I've not done much of anything, but I have to get organized to function.

I've been under lots of stress with my DH going through chemo, and then I have had numerous problems, including a fall.

Consequently, only a little is happening in the studio except for mess-making.

Prairie Moon has organizational challenges; I need to focus on this now.

Put Away Stray Fabric

Things have just been put into the basket.

It needs to be put away.

I'll spend 15 minutes a day until I get it done.

This challenge is coming at a fabulous time!
