PHD in 2023: August

Eighth 2023 check-in with QuiltingGail to work on my list of Projects Half Done (PHD).

There were 46 projects already started before January 1, 2023. The below screenshot of my projects from the spreadsheet provided (and a little expanded) by QuiltingGail is my 'official' list with reference numbers that I will use throughout the year.

As of August 31st, 3 UFO's are complete (Blue Highlight); none were completed this month (Green Highlight on completion Date). Two other UFO's progressed (Pink Highlight) this month. UFO 47 was forgotten until this month when Lazy Girl Designs published YouTube videos and I found the pattern and supplies in my stash.

Out of the 49 starts in 2023, 39 have been completed (Blue Highlight). Two of the other ten projects have been progressed (Pink Highlight). The BOM that started in January 2023 has each month added as a separate entry.

August Projects Completed:

He asked for the zipper pocket be larger than the original and to also have the quilted pocket instead of the vinyl. 2023 Project number 42 completed in 6-hours and 16-minutes.
