Happy Canada Day!
I love this picture! It is so cliched (is that even a word?) However, since a baby beaver was rescued by the local wildlife society this week, just a mile from my home, I have a maple tree in my front yard and I get teased for adding eh? to my sentences there is some truth to it!
Barbara is the author of one of the blogs I follow regularly, Cat Patches., She has been listing her goals on the first of each month, and provides a progress report. I like that ideas since I have lots to do and keeping a running list in my head doesn't seem to be working.
In July, I would like to (in order):
In July, I would like to (in order):
1. Finish Konner's quilt and get it to him.
2. Clean and oil my new-to-me handcrank so I can start teaching Zoey how to sew.
3. Join the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RBC) and make string blocks for future projects. This month's "colour" is Watermelon - hot pink with a little green for accents. I think I'll stick to one colour - pink it is!
4. As I have fallen behind on both the 365 Block Challenge and the Splendid Sampler, my goal this month is to ensure I have downloaded all of the blocks.
5. Spend 15 minutes a day in my sewing room doing something - even if all I do is fondle fabric!
No pictures today - I got a new table for the sewing room, so it is in turmoil!
Next month, I post my progress (with photos) and make new goals. My reward, if I complete them
all, is to buy the fabric for this splendid Halloween quilt from Flying Parrots Quilt:
(Although I will confess, I bought some black on white spiders yesterday!)
Those are great goals. It's a long month, so have fun with all those plans. Love that Halloween quilt. That's a new one on me.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara! I stumbled across that Halloween quilt just this week, and now I can't stop thinking about it!
