July is nearly done

How did I do on my goals for the month of July? I did much better at my quilting goals than my personal goals.  Guess I need to work harder on exercise and decluttering.


One finish that was not on the goal list for July - the strawberry bed runner.  I love the quilting that Carol did on this for me.  It's the same design as we used on a table topper recently.



The bed runner is 18" x 72", and looks great on the bed.  One strawberry on each end hangs down the sides of the bed.  And the pink/white striped binding works so well. 

  • Personal goals
    • Walk at least 1 mile at least 5 days a week - weather permitting!  The mosquitoes won the walking battle a lot of days, but I am starting again.
    • Continue decluttering  - no new progress
    • Some summer fun activities like Arts in the Park - CHECK!!
  • Binding (hand stitching)

    The humidity has won over my walking:( You did really good in the sewing department this month.

    Your strawberry bed runner is so pretty! What a fun summer accessory for the bedroom. Summer exercise can be hard. It's too hot to walk here right now. I've been trying to get myself to do more chair yoga and do more indoor walking exercises. Not having much success there, yet. You nailed all your stitching goals. Congrats on all the progress.

    Love the strawberry bed runner! Great job on your goals. The mosquitoes have been terrible here this year, too.
