I have a challenge that has to be finished by end of year -- we were given a yard of fabric and must use all of it. I have opted to do several small projects and one larger one. I just finished a big project (a tote for my Viking 6430 so I can take it with me to classes and UFO). In October we have a lock-in. It starts at 3:00 p.m. Friday and ends at 7:00 a.m. Saturday (16 hours of uninterrupted sewing) except for potluck and door prize drawings. Have lots of cutting prep to accomplish in the next four weeks.
