The front knee brace and our front porch have some dry rot issues. Since we have the proceeds from selling the Prineville house, we decided it was finally time to deal with some lingering issues with this house. Unfortunately, our skills are not up to dealing with these projects so I have been looking around for a contractor who could help us.
For the porch, I was hoping we could just replace wood in the affected areas, but nobody wants to touch it because of the age and likelihood of lead paint. It turns out it's easier to find someone to rip it out and replace the whole thing than it is to just repair it.

Unbeweavable Lap Quilt |
Since I got started on the WOOFA UFO challenge late in 2020 and didn't have twelve months to finish my projects, I think I'll try and get started sooner this year. I'm going to also add some new, not-started projects to my list that I feel like working on. This list is somewhat in order by priority, but I am likely to take projects out of order as I'm in the mood to do them.

Quilt As You Go Lap Quilt |
I joined Cheryll, et al. again for the first Friday Night With Friends of 2021. I got started early and worked through Friday night and then continued Saturday morning until I finished assembling the 64 blocks for the center portion of the Snake River Log Cabin quilt.
Now that I've finished assembling them all, it's ready for the border. That is another 32 blocks I'll need to make.I have finished 48 blocks of the center portion of the Snake River quilt.
I think I am going to add another virtual sew-in to my calendar, at least until this pandemic has passed and we can escape our houses. This time, One Monthly Goal at Elm Street Quilts.
I would very much like to make 64 blocks for the Snake River Quilt.
I think I can do it. I've already finished 15 of them, so I believe I can finish another 49 before the end of the month.I spent another couple of days working on the Snake River Log Cabin Quilt. I ended up changing the process again so I would have less repetition from block to block. I went through and cut strips from all of the Morris fabrics and sliced them up into pieces of the appropriate length for the strips. That took most of the day yesterday.
Instead, now I'm building strip sets of the cream-rust-cream portions and slicing them up then adding the Morris prints for each set of blocks as I make them. From here, the pace of construction should pick up.
