Looking back at October

October was a great month for sewing even though most everything I did was small.

• 3 brown RSC14 blocks - DONE
• 5 Heartstrings blocks - no 
• complete Sept. Saturday Sampler tasks - DONE
• month #2 blocks for House Warming Party BOM - DONE
• mitten theme table topper (UFO) - DONE & given away
• Halloween table topper (UFO) - DONE
• complete another 1/4 of the hand quilting on Cats - yes!
• bind another UFO - no
• traveling pillows with pockets for the grand-kids (and other kids) for Christmas gifts - 9 are DONE

One of the highlights of October has been receiving the Halloween swap blocks from the swap host Denise.  I sent in 9 blocks (3 sets of 3) and received 9 back.  So, including my own blocks, I now have 12 blocks to make a fun Halloween quilt for next year.  

I also mailed 7 pillowcases to a great donation project in North Carolina.  I still have more to donate somewhere, and lots of stash to keep making them.
