I've done well this year getting things checked off my 2022 "To Do" List but not so great at finishing things on the "UFO" List. I have three donation quilts along with the backings and bindings made and ready to be finished. One is from last year, so it needs to be done first.

Was February even shorter than usual this year? I think it was. It went by really fast! Even so it was a good month, quilting-wise.

So much has happened this past year with the pandemic and the year before was very busy for me with graduate school. Now that school is over I am hopeful I'll be getting back on track in 2021.
