I need to find a balance in November between sewing something new and fresh, and finishing up a couple of things from the UFO/WIP lists. Balance is good right? And this week I need a balance between work and play, because work has taken over this week as I was assigned something with a deadline, and have been working a full-time schedule since early Monday morning. I'm actually writing this post during my morning break because I totally forgot. LOL
The number drawn for November's UFO Challenge was #9, and I have already finished 2 of the 3 items on my list for that number. Yay!! That last project is actually kitted up, plus it's a child sized quilt, so it could satisfy both my need to sew something new AND work on a UFO.
The Giddy-Up Quick Strippee is one of the kits I put together early in 2023 for some quick projects. This one has a focus fabric with light green background with pink and blue horses. It should make a very cute baby quilt.
On a side note - college basketball begins this week, so you know what we'll be doing for the next 4 months or so. We'll be leaving about 3:30 to make the drive to watch a Jackrabbit doubleheader. Gotta make good use of our season tickets! Go Jacks!! I may take some binding with me to do in the car.
As for November goals, there are plenty to choose from:
- Saturday Sampler block from October
- Saturday Sampler block from November
- 3 final Autumn Wonder blocks - both colorways
- Giddy-Up baby quilt
- Pillowcases for grandkids (5)
- Binding
- Christmas hexie table topper
- Quilt of Valor
- 4 Christmas hexie mug rugs
- Quilting (on my own machine)
- Sea Otter wall hanging
- Christmas bench pillow
Sorry your week is so busy, definitely not a fun way to kick off November. Progress is progress, so that counts even if you don't completely check off your goals this month.
