I'm definitely not setting any personal records this year, but with how busy I am, I will celebrate every single finish I get!
I finished another scooter quilt. This was was originally going to be raffled off in Chicago later this year, but that rally already has three separate raffles going on. We may hang it on our vendor booth as an attention getter, but it won't be getting raffled off there. At this point the fate of this quilt is yet to be determined. That's OK, at least it's finished. This quilt uses more different scooter fabrics than any other quilt I've made. It's got scooter fabrics from Italy, Great Britain, and Japan. It's got scooter fabrics I bought from Spoonflower at a premium $$$. I probably google scooter fabric once a week. For a very short period of time, they were easy to find. Right now, I don't know of any current fabric lines that have scooters. Spoonflower is about the only way I've been able to add to my scooter fabric stash lately. International sellers on ebay and Etsy are also an option.
DH decided to host a rally this year as well, though it will be a road rally and not a big local affair. I don't have to make rally bags and such for it, and I won't be cooking for it either. In fact, I won't even be attending! When he started talking about it, I told him I'd rather stay home and sew, since he won't really need me to be there. His rally will be late October, so maybe I can get some of the king sized quilts assembled by then if it cools off, then I could set up the big basting tables in the living room and have a basting spree while he's gone. That would be a fantastic use of a few days alone!
