Wow, it is March already. Where did February go?? Let’s get down to business, and plan out the rest of the month….lots to do on this end. I am happy with the progress I have made over the last two months….though not necessarily in all aspects (ie. the book is still moving but slowly). Some of the highlights include:
- Business: Complete Teaching Plan and submitted to LQS + Classes are scheduled for Q1 + Q2, Supply lists sent
- Book: Finished Project Plan
- Book: Finished Border 2 for Art Deco Medallion
- Deadline: Send finish quilt and pattern for magazine
- Deadline: Wrote and sent article for MQG
- Deadline: Sent quilt to Quiltcon
- Deadline: Finish #mqgswap item
- Attended QuiltCon
So, the latter 1/2 of this month I would like to focus on my book. Here are some of the key activities I would like or must accomplish.
