A challenge to myself

A sort and prioritize in my projects brought forward this one, Butterfly Garden, with 2 blocks lacking a small square, and 2 blocks less finished than what you see now.

I am not counting projects - no, no, no ;-)

But - I am challenging myself to work on what I have already started, starting today and ending 31. October.

I can start something new if it is for charity, like strip quilts, fast and fun.

Taking inventory, setting priorities

This week I have been busy with taking fever / pain killers, drinking a lot and not move very much - pfffft on summer flu!
I have cleaned my hands and am coughing in another direction, so I hope you are not catching the virus too.
I am surfacing again - slowly, but still it is good progress compared to the other day.

Thursday afternoon, nearly like an early start on the weekend, adding good will :-)

Anyway, I need to pick some priority projects to work on. If not, I tend to do a thread here and a thread there, with no real progress, and with a wandering mind, wanting to start new projects all the time.

I have picked these 4 projects to work on through next weekend:
  1. Leanne's House BOM - can I finish block # 5 and get a good start on block # 6 ?
  2. Nearly Insane block - you are in the sunshine again my friends - time to get some more blocks done.
  3. My Sewing Angel stitchery - a gift from a dear friend when I was so sick this winter. I could not wrap my mind around even sorting the threads then, but kept it on my desk to look at. I will make this into a tote when it is done. How much can I do through next week ?
  4. My mouse stitchery - using crayons with the stitcheries, for class purposes. My plan is to make a little drawstring purse from this one.

My plan for the autumn is to work on no more than 4 projects at a time and to go back to fairly strict fabric diet.
I want to shrink my fabric collection - so far so good this year!

I am not one for resolutions but I can do my best !
Autumn / school start is as good a time to set priorities as New Year, maybe even better, as it does not give me a feeling of having left anything behind - just new chances and good feelings :-)
