Hanging Sleeve and Done

I have been quiet lately probably because I haven't done all that much stitching.
Lots of projects but my get up and go has apparently gotten up and gone.
I finally finished the blue piece I intend to enter into a juried show. I just have to do the hanging sleeve and I'm done. No pics because I'm not sure I'm supposed to show it before jurying.
My next project is the POM challenge. I was initially not enamoured with the challenge -- something for the table related to family history. But then I started thinking -- they didn't say which table so I've decided to make a coffee table book. My first attempt at the book cover was not satisfactory. I'll give it another go, perhaps in different fabrics and colours. If I can get the cover done, then I'll be able to add pages when I have time so it may just turn into an ongoing project. I did want to do a family tree in fabric so I may incorporate that in it to, a fold-out book. Hmmm... That's due mid-February so I'm alternating work with another call for entry project due the end of February, also started but not happy with the result so far. I think I will scrap it and start over because I don't want to invest time in trying to "fix" something which I doubt can be fixed.
In other news, I have signed up for an online fabric portrait course through Quilt University. All I'm going to say is Mozart meets Abe...

Mozart meets Abe sounds very interesting. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
