I'm really excited for this week's goals. I have some fun things on my design wall right now, and hope to make a little progress on several things.
The Marigold Mystery blocks for October are all done, so I can set aside that project box until next month. On the 1st of October I made the 5 Shoo Fly blocks that finish at 4". And now I have the 5 Square-in-a-Square and 5 Uneven 9-Patch blocks that are also that size. From the sneak peek provided by Meadow Mist I think all the blocks we've made so far will be the middle of spool blocks.
A relatively easy goal is to sew the rows into a flimsy for the RSC Scrappy Stars. The 6 rows are pressed in alternate directions so they are ready to run through the machine.
Also for RSC this year I made Lori Holt's Honey Bee blocks - 2 of each color, for 8 of the months. My plan now is to make the Busy Beehive block, from Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage 2 book to go with them. In my stash was a fat quarter of each of these cute bee prints in a rich gold. I'm using the Circle of Nine book to choose a layout and put the hives in the middle with the colorful bees around it. And I plan to make 2 separate quilts.
Once a bobbin is wound with orange thread, I'll get a start blanket stitching the orange sections on this little gnome mini quilt. Changing thread colors is one of my least favorite things to do, which may explain another reason I never enjoyed my embroidery machine.

Your Marigold blocks are all fun. I'm still working on September's, so you are definitely staying on task with that one. Looking forward to seeing your bee quilts come together. You always have such fun projects in the works.
I just love seeing the projects using autumn fabrics. I want to get into my boxes of autumn fabrics so badly but other deadlines haunt me right now.
Love to see your progress on so many projects! I have used invisible thread from Sulky so I didn't have to change threads all the time for my applique-it works!
You do have a really fun week planned with these colorful projects!
Oh the little pumpkin is very cute!
You have a great week planned!! Enjoy!
Lots of fun going on in your sewing room, as it should be! Happy quilting!
You've been busy, Sara! Great projects you have going. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
