For those who have read posts here for a while,
you are already aware that my "new year"
begins in August.
Early signs of season change
mixed with back to school sales
trigger my need to revisit existing plans
and plan out future projects.
This year is no different
in terms of the "annual triggers"
although I can honestly say
I have not done any "back to school"
stockpiling what with staying at home.
Here's a recap of the key plans.
ONE
The biggest decision I've made
with regard to existing project plans is
to to put my Kitchen Table Quilt project
on hold until April-May of next year.
I had planned to photograph each finished quilt
outdoors on our round patio table
during its month so there would be
seasonal context and a changing background.
That plan ended earlier this year
when COVID turned things upside down,
younger son decided to move home,
and the renovations began.
TWO
Speaking of renovations -
DH has completed the installation of the floor!
Next step is to clean up no longer needed tools, etc.
and then he'll start installing baseboards.
We're all seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
THREE
A while back I added a page on the blog
for some of the HST quilts I've made.
At the bottom of that page
there's a list of ten more HST quilts
that are currently underway.
Some are actually cut out and ready to sew
and one is almost a top ready to back.
I'll be sharing posts for those
later in the fall or early next year.

I've also been doing some planning
for next year's Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
For now, I've chosen three projects
that will use scraps,
fabrics from the resource boxes,
and occasional yardage.
(gotta use that stash)
SCRUMMY ("delectable, splendid")
will feature scrappy baskets,
something I've wanted to do for a long time.
(one 15" basket block per month for 12 months)
SPOT ON ("exactly correct, on-target")
will revisit Moments in Time from Quilty 365 v1.
(twenty 4" blocks per month for 10 months)
JOVIAL ("high spirited merriment")
inspired by the Scrap Snap Quiltalong shared by Kari V.
(eight 6" blocks per month for 10 months)
We'll see how things progress.
