These scraps are a new project
Last month, I had a number of starts to work on the embroidery software class. Each time, I was distracted. I made no progress. My updated plan is to make progress in October! 

Miss K visited; but, we didn't quilt. She came with her younger sister and we completed a few art classes instead. I'll document those this month too! I've decided that I'll finish quilting her quilt so that she can enjoy it.

All in all, I had a great month.

My October goals are:
1. Cut the fabrics for the 2024 temperature quilt. Piece blocks if possible.
2. Embroider the legend of Rita's temperature quilt.
3. Embrace PT for my left knee--joint replacement surgery is October 1. . .today! 
4. Begin a mini handwork project using scraps.
5. Document the making of the back of the guild challenge quilt.
Creating through an online art class
6. Document the latest sourdough recipes.
7. Catch up with the August bonus lesson and the September and October embroidery software lessons.
8. Document the art classes I did through the 2024 Sketchbook Revival online course.
9. Document the art classes I did with my school age granddaughters.
10. Document the last few days of play with my youngest granddaughter.
11. Select fabrics for the Rainbow Scrap challenge. The color is brown.
