Judy at patchworktimes has posted the ufo number for March and it is #4. But I did number 4 last month instead of #10 so I should do that one this month. I wanted something that did not take much time since I was working on lots of other things including 6 snow days with little children. It has been nearly 25 years since I had to deal with little children and snow days. But I survived and so did they.
For my Feb ufo I hand appliqued the last few bits onto this Antique Wedding Sampler block. I finally found the missing blue leaves and flowers among the stuff as I was looking for something else.
The Shipshewana Quilt Retreat is fast approaching next month and I am starting to prepare my project boxes. I am hard pressed to not just start working on some of blocks but I am writing and anticipate having the first draft of my new book before I take the 7 hour drive to Northern Indiana. That has not stopped me from putting blocks up on the wall and dreaming. But then I get so distracted looking at the design wall and trying to figure out how I would put the thing together or quilt it so I have taken everything off all 3 design walls. It looks so bare and boring but I need to focus on my writing.
Number 10 on my list is the Stack-N-Whack Butterflies. The focus fabric has very fine body lines in different colours. I could just add these with a pen. And I can make the antennae with a black pen. Easy peasy. I worked so hard to get all those points to come together. It would be a pity to cover them all up with a thick appliqued body.
I have seen so many new quilt-a-longs that I would have liked to join, but I determined not to start a new project this year. Two months down and only 10 more to go.
Blessings,
Chris

Nice that you have been able to focus on your book despite the changes in plans. Know you must look forward to retreat!
