First, I want to tell you that I appreciate all the comments you leave. I'm behind on answering, but hope to catch up soon.
It's time to once again share my PHD progress.

In September I completed one project from my UFO list, the Pink Grapefruit in Blue quilt. All stats on this quilt are two posts back.
I quilted my Forever Neverland quilt from the new starts list and completed the binding as well. This quilt measures 52.25" x 67". I quilted it with the Interstellar Lite design.
I made a small amount of progress on the race car quilt, prepping the last half of the pieced blocks for sewing.
I have all the little paper pieces trimmed for Nancy's quilt. Or so I thought. I realized as I was pressing them that I was four sets (eight papers) short. 🤦🏻♀️ This quilt requires that you make matching pairs for the paper pieced parts, so I had to sort through what I had left and try to shuffle things to make pairs. The pieces are now sewn. I have 10 blocks laid out on my design boards. Once I get those 10 sewn, I'll move on to the second group of 10.
I am ready to custom quilt my navy and white quilt once I have some free time with my long arm.
No further progress has been made on any of the remaining items in my UFO and 2025 starts lists, but I did accomplish a tough (for me) technology task. I am proud of myself for bumbling through and setting up external STMP service for both my blog and my business websites this month, so hopefully all my emails will get delivered now.
I finished making the muslin top I talked about last week. It fits, but not well. Same old fitting problems as usual--too tight on the back, something weird in the sleeves, hiking up in the back (due to my very round back), plus this one needs to have length added. Some day I'll figure this all out. Between my Cashmerette class and my Gina Renee fitting book, I think I see some things to try. But it all takes time and a lot of muslin fabric. Plus it's hard to see what is going on on your back, you know?
I caught a cold from my son, so I haven't gotten much work done. I figured people wouldn't want me spreading my germs all over their quilts.
I finished Keetah's quilt before the cold fully hit. This one is really big (114" x 114") and took me three days to quilt Bubble Glitter on.
Join me tomorrow for the October One Monthly Goal link up.
