July in the rear view mirror

Summer always goes by way too fast, and July flashed by like always.  My July goals were very ambitious - but I did pretty well - considering!!  The first half of the month I hardly worked any hours at all meaning I had lots of sewing time, but the second half my work hours mushroomed dramatically.  I just keep reminding myself that working part time brings me money to spend on my hobbies. LOL



  • 2 Saturday Sampler blocks - DONE
    • begin sewing sections for Saturday Sampler quilt - didn't happen!
  • cut sashing for Patriotic Stars quilt -- DONE & at quilter 
  • finish binding Oh My Stars (UFO) - DONE
  • quilt at least 1 of the 60 degree runners I made in June - DONE
  • make 1 of the Quick Strippee quilt tops (kits put together in June) - didn't happen!
  • make last 3 blocks for the Lori Holt sew-along - didn't happen!
  • Pick a PIG - Simple Whatnots project called Potting Shed - applique in progress
  • put together the bright Ritzy Cracker blocks into a child size quilt (forgotten UFO) 
    • - sewing blocks into pairs is in progress
  • Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks - bright blue
    • Ohio Star -  - DONE
    • Diamond Tile - didn't happen!
    • Twinkle Star - didn't happen!
    • String block - didn't happen!
    • Gingham - - DONE
    • teal/aqua Gingham block from previous month (1) - DONE

And then there were things that didn't appear on my goal list that required sewing.  Like masks for my grandchildren to wear to school. And masks for a friend's kids. And masks for family.  Lots and lots of masks, and then more masks.
