As of this morning I had more than 20 reminders on my task list – that can’t be right. Sadly it is; all of my April card reminders appeared on the list and then I had to add my UFO challenges for March. Then the UFO challenges I didn’t finish in February had to be added back into the list for some day when I have nothing else to do – LOL. I managed to clear off a couple of easy computer tasks but I failed to get all of my decluttering tasks done for the day. I’m not sure how that will affect the days following but, as far as I know, there is no limit to the number of tasks I can have on my list – just how many I can get done.

I had to go digging to find my UFO projects. My quilting project is a fun one – my Farmhouse quilt. I purchased backing for it awhile ago but then found some fabric I like better and I just may have enough for a backing. I’ll have to wait for a nice day to do the spray basting because most of my pins are already in use in projects waiting for me to quilt. The weekend is when I get a good stretch of time for quilting so it will wait because I have something else I want to quilt before I tackle that one.

My piecing UFO is also one I’m happy to get back to – That Fairy Tale Quilt. I had problems with one of the blocks and I can’t remember if I fixed it or if I just took it out in order to start over. I dug into the bin but there were no notes so I’ll have to study the pattern before I see where I need to start.

My scrappy UFO isn’t one I was really looking forward to but it is certainly one that I have enough scraps for – in fact I have bags and bags of strings. I wasn’t sure I would even remember how to make the string blocks so I put one together this afternoon. I’m going to need 42 of them and even by doing one every day I’m not going to be finished by the end of the month. When it is finished it will be a donation quilt.

Pat went out this morning and came home with two rhubarb plants. He saw someone selling them online. I’ve not had much luck with my rhubarb but I’m willing to try again. We will plant them on the deck where it is nice and sunny. He also put in an order for a bunch of strawberry plants which we will also put out on the deck. I said no to the raspberry canes – I have enough scratches from the blackberries I try to keep under control.

I have a couple of cards ready to have the binding stitched on so I’ll do that before supper. I’m in charge tonight – good thing it is Shrove Tuesday because I can handle pancakes!
