Reviewing September

Today's post is really just an accountability thing for my own purposes.  You all know I'm a list maker, and just need to see things checked off.  LOL  And today I'm finally getting back to some actual sewing at home.  


Friday was the Quilt of Valor sew day, which was a big success.  More about the sew day can be shared next week.  Friday evening we made a quick trip to Sioux Falls to watch both granddaughters in a swim meet.  Saturday we headed to Yankton for a family wedding.  Lots of fun, but no stitching time.

There has been plenty of successful sewing during the month of September.  I've kept up with all of the Block of the Month projects, and I'm quite satisfied with where I'm at with various other projects.

You did pretty well with your list in September. It's hard when you have so many family things it's hard to maintain momentum.
