Wrapping up another month

This week's Moda Blockheads block is Lucky Charm by Stacy Iest Hsu.  It's block 22 so I think there are only 2 more remaining.  Maybe 3.  


Lucky Charm is a 9" block and I really love how this one looks.  There is a 4.5" bonus block because of course I couldn't just throw away the trimmings.  The little one could become the center of a mug rug.    

Nearly every day this week had things going on, including evenings.  Tonight we'll actually stay home and hand out candy to lots of Trick or Treaters.  We average about 80-85 each year, usually all between 5:30 and 7:30, so we hardly have time to sit down. 


The list of goals for October looked pretty overwhelming at first glance, but there were some very small or quick projects on the list.  Plus some items just required progress, not necessarily a finish.  There was no pressure as any forward progress is good, right?  And there isn't much red on the list so I'm very satisfied.

I like seeing all the bold blue in your goals list. We don't have trick or treaters anymore, our neighborhood is scattered out that any kids here go into town for it.

The newest block is so pretty! I love seeing all of you progress with the goals list!

The newest Blockhead block turned out beautifully. You had a good month on the goals front. Hopefully things calm down this weekend and you can get in lots of stitching time.
