Sun, Sand, and Sea BOM Block 9
"Bathing Beauty" was completed! The blog post is here.
This is a lovely design, but I may set it aside until after the holidays to finish. The classes take some time.
Other October Accomplishments:
This fabric postcard was created for a swap. It was yet another finish, as the cross-stitched pumpkin has been sitting in a drawer for about a year. The blog post is here.
This small zipper pouch coin purse was added to my Hand Stitched Treasure Etsy Shop. The blog post is here and the Etsy shop is here.

November Goals:
2. Add a label and a hanging sleeve to this "Sealed with a Kiss" quilt. This is a smaller version of the pattern in the book Hearts Aplenty by Lynda Milligan and Nancy Smith.
4. Finish "Beach Boy Freddie", the September block of the Sun, Sand, and Sea BOM at Sew Incredibly Crazy and Friends.
5. Finish the October Sun, Sand, and Sea BOM from Sew Incredibly Crazy and Friends. (Due to Internet issues, it has not yet been shared on Amy's blog, but there is a sneak peek at Moosestash Quilting.)
6. Sew the second border on my "Hearts Askew" quilt and stitch around the appliqued hearts. The pattern is from the book Hearts Aplenty by Lynda Milligan and Nancy Smith.
I found the fabric and finished the first border in October. (#3 on my APQ 2017 UFO Challenge List - selected in October.)
7. Finish my Kit and Clowder October Pencil Class. So far, I have printed the stamp onto paper. The Special Edition Snowman and Penguins digital stamp was designed by Crissy Armstrong specifically for this class and is only available a limited time at Whimsy Stamps, so this link goes to their digital stamp collection - not directly to this stamp. It is incredibly cute!
8. Finish Christmas gifts to share on the 1 X-Mas Item a Month Blog. In October, I made progress on two mug rugs featuring the "Snowman" digital stamp from The Paper Shelter.

Congrats on your successful goals in October and I wish you tons of luck in November on your new goals. My mom would love that adorable Snoopy postcard. How adorable.
Just look at all you accomplished in October! Good for you! It's going to be fun to see how well you do with your goals for November.
You managed a lot in October, and will be even busier in November it seems. It was nice to see Santa and the Mouse again!
Those look amazing! Love the snoopy one. :)
Renee Dear I honestly admire your monthly goals and I believe they help you be so productive and accomplish so many amazing projects. Time seems to be flying by so very fast...November already...Yikes! <3
You accomplished a lot of goals in October. I can hardly believe this year is almost finished. While there were a few moments when it seemed as if it would go on forever, most of it has sped by at warp speed. Good luck on finishing the Christmas stocking. It will be needed shortly!
It's scary to read there is such a short time until 2018 but you have achieved so much through the year and October was no exception.
Great work Renee, and all lovely to see.
