August in review

August was a productive month plus we had a bit of a vacation, so I'm happy in spite of all the red Failures on that list below.  I was definitely over estimating what was even possible.  But - in several categories I just wanted to get 1 thing done from the list and that mostly happened.

I didn't do well on bag making this month, but there is always next month to finish the one started.  That would be the Chubby Charmer which is partially assembled.  I have a couple of other bags kitted up as well.  

The best accomplishment is keeping up the the BOM programs.  This block is part of the paper-pieced BOM from Carol Doak on Facebook.  It's called Circle of Friends.  She is posting the September block sometime on Friday, as she wants people to have time to sew over Labor Day weekend.  I'm looking forward to it. 

  • Personal goals
    • Walk at least 1 mile at least 5 days a week - weather permitting! - FAIL
    • Continue decluttering (tackle basement bedroom closet) - FAIL
    • Play more golf - CHECK!
  • Binding & other hand stitching
    • Ohio Star - CHECK!
    • Shibori Blues - HALFWAY
    • work on hand quilting projects (either Seasonal Cats or Vintage Stars) - FAIL
  • Block of the Month piecing
    • Saturday Sampler - month #5 blocks - CHECK!

  • RSC quilt top assembly - at least 1 of these
    • Kitty blocks - not yet
    • Dutchman's Puzzle - not yet
    • 16-patch Churn Dash - CHECK!

    • quilt Bright Happy Blocks - FAIL
    • Quick Strippee baby quilt - FAIL
    • small zipper bag (tan color with Hexies) - CHECK!
  • PIG (new projects) at least 1 of these
    • Chubby Charmer bag - FAIL
    • Hemingway Pouch - FAIL
    • Yellow/black travel pillow - CHECK!
  • Whatever else I want to play with!!

The travel pillow is checked off the list as a finish, but I do still need to buy a 14" pillow form to put inside.  This will be a gift.

    You did well with all your lists. Even if you didn't get to everything, you had a lot of progress.

    I like how you color coded it - when you look at it - there is a LOT of blue - so success!! and more golf - totally more important than the mile a day!!!

    I don’t about Fail, more like pending and look at all that you achieved. A pat on the back is definitely deserved.
