Deana: July Goal Recap

July goal assessment...

1.  Piece my new QAL.  

THE FABRIC DID NOT ARRIVE SO ONE WILL BE PUSHED BACK SEVERAL MONTHS.

2.  Quilt Mom's Gold and Yellow Medallion.  The outline quilting is done so now it is time for all the fun filler stuff.

AFTER - FINISHED JULY 7th

3.  Make a Stashbee block.

FINISHED JULY 6th

I made three birds.  We were asked to name them.

Spooky Louie Chickadee

Yellow Bellied Toad Swallow

Black Bottom Fluff Jay

4.  Participate in the Block Lotto.  This month it is 9" blocks of house pets.  I have some fun dog patterns that I want to make up.

6.  Sew up a sample for my family round robin.  I can't show it to you, but I will say that it is a little like a New York Beauty.

FINISHED JULY 3rd

7.  Blanket Stitch around Mom's horse and do all the silhouettes.Mom does not like to do machine blanket stitch.  She also does not like unfinished projects.  My Dorinda Quilt is not quite hand quilted.  She is finishing up the hand quilting for me while I do the blanket stitch on the horse quilt for her.

No silhouettes ready yet.

8.  Plan, purchase fabric for, and cut out Brielle's Braid.

FINISHED July 24th - got a ton of sewing done on it too!
