Colorways by Vicki Welsh

My goals for September were:
– finish the Eclipse top – done!
– finish one wheelchair shawl and start another – done!
– finish the gray scarf – done!
– quilt some veterans quilts – done!
– make a veterans quilt top – 2 done!
– start planning Christmas postcards – did absolutely nothing

It’s football season and that means crochet season. I finished 3 scarves and a shawl this month. I have another shawl and a large blanket underway. All of my finished donation projects were also delivered this month.

I got 2 veterans quilts quilted. I could have done more but I didn’t have more. But I did make 2 veterans quilt tops of my own that I can get quilted in October.

Neither of these 2 projects are done, but I made great progress to get Eclipse to the completed top stage and I loaded my hand dyed houses quilt to quilt. The house quilt should be done in October.
