I had a few projects on my to-do list for this month and I’m pleased to share with you that I did get quite a bit done. In addition to these projects, I worked several days at the Fabric Cafe Booth at the Pennsylvania Quilt Extravaganza. Not quilting, but a great deal of “Fabric Fondling” and meeting a lot of quilters!
Here is a summary of the projects on my September To Do List..
- UFO Project #7 – Finished! One project on my To-Do List for September was to work on Project #7 – A quilt for a family member. As this is a surprise, I cannot say anything more. But my goal is to complete the top (flimsy) and hopefully even piece the backing & hand it off to be quilted. Flimsy & backing completed and sent to the Long-Arm Quilter. Plus a standard Pillowcase & Travel Pillowcase were made and the Binding prepared.

Some matching pillowcases.
- September One Monthly Goal – Finished! Another item is the OMG. This goal is to complete the flimsy and maybe the backing. I may quilt this myself – but that’s yet to be determined. Flimsy & backing completed and sent to the Long-Arm Quilter. Standard & Travel Size pillowcases made.

This is such a fun Mystery Quilt Challenge, and it supports a wonderful cause! I’m enjoying this so much, I decided I will make 2 quilts. Here’s my 2nd set of blocks.
