No changes to the PHD report. It's not all bad, at least there aren't any new starts. That will change in October. I will be starting two new projects. Those were planned for at the beginning of the year, so no surprise there.
Even though the PHD report shows no changes, there was some decent progress on some of my works in progress.
There's been some good progress on Kate's Choice the last couple of months.
Back in July, all but one row of blocks was quilted. Since then I completed quilting all the blocks and moved on to assembling the first row back in August. There wasn't any progress on this in September. I had to switch my priority to the 2025 Guild BOM blocks. I hope to get back to this project before the end of the year.
There was some good progress on my long running travel embroidery project.
I hadn't worked on this project since last December. It's over half finished now, with just one corner of blocks left to stitch. I won't finish it this year. Maybe next year?
Progress on Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter) has been sporadic the last couple of months.
I haven't put all the blocks up on the wall since December of last year. A lot more is done than I expected. The upper half, minus one 3.5" blue block, is completed. A finish for next year? Maybe. I've still got lots of the cool colored blocks to make.
The Old Town (Bonnie Hunter) blocks see a lot of progress during my late night/open sew time at the quilt shop.
I was hoping to have this to the finished quilt top stage before the next mystery came out. Just 7 blocks left to make. I've started cutting the pieces for the pieced sashing strips. I'm still doubtful it will be a finished quilt top, but it will be close.
After my panic in September when I realized the guild meeting was the next day and I hadn't started the block for October. I decided it would be wise to finish off all the 2025 Guild BOM blocks.
The blocks for January through September are up on the design wall, minus some of the sawtooth stars as they wouldn't fit. This is not my final layout, I'll decide that once all the blocks are done. I have November's block finished and have started piecing December's. I'm hoping to start assembly on this quilt in October. I also need to make a start on the blocks for 2026. I'm definitely going to work ahead for next year's BOM.
It's not really a quilt project, but I've been making donation blocks for the guild.
So far I've turned in 20 blocks, but I only have pictures of one set. The donation blocks are the Bonnie Hunter leaders and enders project she suggested in July. It's been a nice way to use up some scrap yardage that's just been sitting in the stash.
Just as there's been no changes in my PHD tracker, the same holds for my project tracking graphic.
I'm really hoping to move some projects closer to finished before the end of year. Getting backings made would be a good place to start. Kate's Choice is the closest to being completed. Once I get to a comfortable place with the Guild BOM projects, I'll focus on getting that done. Maybe it will happen this year?

Happy Thursday, Kate. All of your projects are looking fabulous. Any progress is good progress in my eyes. You have had a very busy year which has sometimes taken you out of the sewing room, but I think you have made the best of it all. Enjoy your day. Hugs
