Bee Done

My Bee Quilt is done.  I didn't want to quilt over the embroidery and since I was using warm and natural that can be quilted 10" apart I just did a stitch in the ditch around each block. 
And I'm getting pretty good at machine binding so I finished it all up. 
My dozen items I wanted to get done by October, grew to a bakers dozen (13), became 14 (with an additional Charity quilt) is now 15 with the addition of a lap quilt for my first Mother in law.   With that being said.  I have 6 of the 15 done.  If I would have stayed with my original dozen I'd be half way.  :) 
I also got the Minecraft quilt cleaned up and the binding on, here's a picture of it.  
My One Monthly Goal is making progress too.  I worked on this Friday at the cottage and got the green vine and part of the red flowers done.  
This next week we have 2 days at the cottage, so hopefully I will get it done.  I still need to back and bind it after the stitches are done so I better pick up the pace.  :).
Haven't totally made up my mind on what I will do today.  I think I want to make up some more backs and get a couple more quilts pin basted.  The quilts that are getting stitch in the ditch are going quick and I want to make sure I have quilts ready to quilt if I have time while our grandson is here.  I'm working hard to stay focused and get ufo's done.  I have 5 quilt size embroidery projects and a wall hanging started. I told myself I had to finish at least 3 of them before I could start my next one.  :)  I'm getting close.
* Bee Quilt - Done (pictured above)
* Bag Ladies - Waiting to be quilted and bound.
* Frog Works - 1 1/2  blocks to go.  The blocks are made I just need to finish assembling the borders - then quilt and bind.
Those are the 3 - however I would like to at least finish the embroidery on the next one before I start a new one.  
* Daisy Days - 1 1/2 blocks to embroider then assemble blocks then quilt and bind. 
* Berry Picking - barely started.  
* All Began with Family (Wall Hanging) barely started. 
I have 1 kit and a couple of patterns I want to start, but I'm being good.   By getting all this stuff done - finish 4 or 5, start one, eventually my ufo pile should go down right?  LOL.... 
Well if you made it thru this far in my mind wandering and planning thank you.  
I need to do a few things here in the house then off to the sewing room I go. 
Have a Blessed Day!
