July One Monthly Goal

July is here and half of 2018 is gone.  I LOVE July and especially this July because my son, who I have not seen for two years, is coming home.  He has been in Germany on a church mission.  His best friend just returned from his mission last night and I cried when I visited him.  It will be a grand reunion!

My One Monthly Goal is to piece and quilt a small one for a friend's Christmas present.  Yes, Christmas in July it will be.  I have not yet even cut a piece of fabric for it, but it will be a red, yellow, and blue version of this quilt.


I did finish my One Monthly goal for June but forgot to link up.  Oh well. 

I always have other goals as well.  I am going to list them, but I am not going to push super hard to really get them all done.  If I do, I do.  If I don't, I don't. It is more of a wish list because I want to spend some time with my son and do some house work.

1.  I want to paint both of my bathrooms.  The paint is beginning to peel and needs a refresh.

2.  I want to stain the bathroom cabinet in the back bathroom.  If I like it, I will do the main bathroom.  Now, I don't even like doing this kind of work, but I visited my sister last week and fell in love with what she had done to hers.  It inspired me.  I ordered the product just yesterday.  

3.  Complete my Sliced Quilt top.  I finished the last paper pieced house just days ago and began assembly.  I have now renamed it the "Snow Globe Sliced Quilt".  I know I can do this goal because it only needs four squares of fabric added to the four corners.




4.  Quilt and bind Sweet Cherry Orange.  This was a Stashbee Quilt.




5.  Complete my Chicks in the Garden quilt top.  I know it is wild and bright, but I like it.




6.  Quilt & bind Chicks in the Garden

7.  Cut the bees to go with the flowers I made last month




8.  Sew the trees and assemble my Bear Paw Quilt.



9.  Keep up with Block Lotto comments as I am hosting this month.  Here are the blocks we are making.  



10.  Keep up with my family round robin.  I just returned home with it yesterday.

11.  Add my June section to Pieceful Country
