Away we go!

off to a running start with a new challenge from my Zoom peeps....

already in with corinne et cecile's sew along but this challenge is a bit different....choose 10 projects to work on, start, move forward etc.  pretty sure i can come up with 10 (jan-oct) that fit the criteria.  

1.  Tame the wild scrap basket.....

2.  make something out of the solids drawer....have various precut sizes and they have reached jam packed stage, so it's time

3.  finish up the selvedge strips.  little container half full (or half empty) and won't take much time to use up the rest sewing up squares for potholders

4.  clear out the 2" strip shoebox by making more of bonnie hunter's scrap 4 blocks.   there should be enough for a flimsy when done

5.  start a new wall quilt 'blue plate special'....was gifted several blue scraps and a plan is formulated

6.  finish prepping circles for my dutch chintz tree of life wall quilt...this project needs to move forward as much as it can

7.  prep/baste appliques for my penn dutch wall quilt; it's a 2024 UFO and doubt it will get done this year, but would like to move this project along

8.  make 2 more project bags (see below); vinyl, zippers, fabric and batting all on hand

9.  dargate baskets applique...don't think i can get them all done this year, but needs to move forward

10.  tidy the stash shelves...a one-day project that will go a long way to assessing what's on hand and corral wanderers

the challenge requires me to post my progress for accountability and will be transparent.  have tried to choose do-able things that won't interfere with my C&C blocks or my UFO progress.  now that my health situation is pretty much maintenance mode, frees up more time for sewing fun.  i feel blessed to have such a hobby that is so enriching and enjoyable and a community of like-minded sewists.
