UFO Challenge & April goals

The UFO number drawn (All People Quilt UFO Challenge) was #11. And my #11 is counted cross stitch.  I'm not very confident this one will even be worked on this month due to my eye situation.

My first cataract was removed on March 30 and the second one will be done April 10. And I must admit that I'm still struggling with seeing well enough for close up work. I expected that however so it's OK because I know it's temporary.  I've tried 2 different pair of drugstore "reading" glasses, and have finally gone back to using my old glasses just when I need to see something close up - like the spreadsheets I use for work. Officially - I've become the goofy old lady with her glasses on a chain around her neck. But it works for now.

Since I'm not likely to be doing any counted cross stitch or any tiny blocks, I've set some very modest goals for April.

• Bind the Spotlight II panel quilt  (a UFO not on my original list)
• complete 1st step for new Saturday Sampler
• put together my 6" Farm Girl Vintage quilt top
