I finished up my latest batch of cards before I stopped for lunch. When lunch was over I lined up patterns for my next set of cards. This being the first of the month my reminders for cards due in June popped up – there are five or six next month but one of them might get just an electronic greeting.

My May UFO Challenge was announced today. I’ll be working on my Paris Through the Window quilt. It has been sandwiched and I’m quilting it with straight lines so I hope it will be a finish by the end of the month.

I’m way behind on my Guild sewing. I downloaded the instructions for three Blocks of the Month; I’ll pull fabrics for them later today but I probably won’t start working on them until tomorrow.

The Guild Challenge and the Mystery Quilt are both due in June so I must get at them. I don’t have the Guild Challenge sandwiched yet; I’ll wait for the backing I ordered to arrive and sandwich a couple of things when I get a calm day. I have started on the Mystery Quilt but there is still a lot of quilting left. I saw the first photo of a completed quilt today and the quilting absolutely makes the quilt. The quilting on mine won’t be spectacular so the quilt had better be ready to stand on its own.

I’m ready and I’m almost set. I just need to get going now!
