This is the last to-do list for November. It has been busy, and of course, that will continue through Christmas. I am grateful for the busyness as it keeps me from being too sad or lonely. The flip side of that is that I have to be mindful of not over-scheduling myself and getting completely overwhelmed. I had a lot of activities this past week, but I only had put three things on my to-do list, so it wasn't too bad.
1) Continue working on Women of the Bible quilt. Yes. I am continuing to enjoy doing these blocks, although the Hannah block was a little tedious.
Hannah
Jephthah's Daughter
I had actually forgotten about the story of Jephthah's daughter, so it was good to go back and read the scriptures about her.
2) Make some hearts for Gloria. I'm not finished, but the got the remainder cut out of the clothing and fused to interfacing. I hope to have them done by Friday.
3) Quilt as many customer quilts as I can. My goal is 3-4. Yes. I got three done. I posted one on November 22nd. Here are the other two.
This one still needs to be trimmed. Probably later today.

I am looking at my planner, and the next three weeks are nuts. I have appointments, church stuff, and the kids have school performances. But, this continues to be a hard time of year for me, and busy is best. Here's a list of things I'd like to get done.
1) Women of the bible quilt progress.
3) Start wrapping gifts.
4) Finish sewing those hearts for Gloria.
5) Start on some mug rugs.
Not a very long list, but it will do. I need to keep working on customer quilts too. I don't want anything carrying over from 2024 to 2025. I started 2024 with some lingering projects that needed to be finished, and I didn't like that. I think I have 9 or 10 on the intake rack right now, but I think a couple of more are getting delivered this week.
I am linking this post to Quilt Schmilt. I hope you have a great week and a great Thanksgiving if you celebrate it!
I hope you are able to strike just the right balance between busy and not-busy, but I know that this is a hard time for you, and I'm sorry. I'll be thinking about you!
