June Goal Follow-up

Hello Blogland!  How did your quilt progress go for June?  I did ok.  As usual I didn't quite meet the mark on all of my goals, but I am pleased with what I did accomplish.  I usually set the bar high and get more done as a result even if it is not everything on the list.  Over the past three years I have gone from about 15 UFO's to 6.  That is pretty good progress.  Of those UFOs a few are quilted but many are just tops done.  I don't feel bad about that though because I have been quilting other people's quilts more than my own.

Well here is the run down on June:
GOAL #1:  I am linking this to Patchwork Times June draw.  It is also on my 17 for 2017 list.

Complete my #7 draw from Patchwork Times monthly goal draw.  It is to complete the little missing corner of this long time UFO sliced quilt challenge.  I won't get a complete finish on it, however, because I found the most adorable paper pieced winter neighborhood pattern online.  It won't be released until the end of the year so I'll have to wait.  I plan to piece the neighborhood and put a row at the top and a row at the bottom.

DONE!

The photo below shows how I connected the tree branches in the three slices with thread painting.  As a review,  this was a sliced quilt challenge and a different person made each slice independent of seeing the other slices.

GOAL #2 Hand stitch these babies down and wash out the glue basting.

I also hope to get the sashing on them pieced and attached.

I AM PLEASED WITH MY PROGRESS ON THIS QUILT!

I only got one more block completely stitched down but I did make a lot of progress on the others.  I also assembled the two blocks that are done with the sashing and got all the final diamond pieces cut and ready to sew.

GOAL #3

My "One Monthly Goal" for June is to quilt this gorgeous star quilt for my sister Felicity.  It has been basted for two months now and is so ready for my attention.  

DONE AND DELIVERED!
This was also on my 17 for 2017 list.

GOAL #4

Finish blanket stitching, borders, quilt, and bind this baby quilt for my other daughter who is getting a baby in July.

DONE AND DELIVERED!

GOAL #5

Get borders on these two quilts to prepare them for quilting and baste them! (Jodi's Lattice - on my 17 for 2017 list)  and Mom's Quilter's Garden.

I MADE PROGRESS BUT DIDN'T FULLY ACHIEVE!

I did get the borders on both quilts and have one of them half basted.

GOAL #6
Finish piecing Christmas Log Cabin.  

NOT COMPLETED BUT VERY CLOSE!

I got all of the blocks made.  I need to assembly the newly finished blocks and add borders to complete it.  This is also on my 17 for 2017 list.

GOAL #7

Crochet around the edges of two receiving blankets.
DONE!

GOAL #8

I also hope to quilt and bind my Star Crazy quilt.  It is basted and ready for some machine time.

I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THIS ONE!

On a side note,  I was browsing blogs and found the cutest quilt blocks ever called Shop Hop!  Those blocks are a MUST HAVE for me!  You should check them out up close.

Deana: May goal recap...

Hello Blogland!  How did you do on your goals for May?  I did what I could for a busy month, and I made some progress but not as much as I had hoped!  

Here are the goals I set for May and their progress:

 I hope to complete my Snowman Embroidery Quilt - quilting, binding and all.  

DONE - YAY!

I hope to piece/applique'/quilt/bind a baby quilt for my daughter.  Here are the fabric colors she wants (I had not even purchased them as of the first of May).

It is not finished, but this is how far it got.  I am still blanket stitching the pieces down.

Put a final border on Mom's Quilter's Garden...
DIDN'T TOUCH!

Put a final border on Jodi's Lattice...
DIDN'T TOUCH!

Quilt Felicity's blue/green quilt...
DIDN'T TOUCH!

Prep two Diamond Hill blocks for applique'.  

I FINISHED PREPPING THIS ONE AND GOT MOST OF IT STITCHED DOWN.

I ALSO PREPPED THESE TWO.  THEY ARE ALL DONE BUT ONE FLOWER.

Cut out more blocks for my Christmas Log Cabin
DIDN'T TOUCH!

Make two receiving blankets - one for Margo and one for Lethi.  

I made two for Lethi and got a start on one for Margo.  Here are Lethi's finished ones...

Deana: One Monthly Goal and other goals

Trying to decide which "One Monthly Goal" to pick is a little hard.  I am unclear as to whether it has to be completely finished (bound and quilted) or not, so I think I 'll go with one I think I can do that with.  I am also counting this goal as my OPAM.  See my sidebar for a link.  With OPAM you have to have a complete finish.

I am also posting these goals as part of my participation in March Madness.  At theme ta stitch for March we are to work on as many different projects as possible, and I am certain I will (ha ha).

My One Monthly goal is to quilt and bind my Star Crazy quilt.  It is all basted and ready to go.  Check out everyone else's goals here.

The last time I quilted one of these patterns I did some pretty introcate quilting.  I hope I have time for this one since it is my quilt.  The last one was my sister-in-law's quilt.  That one is below.

In addition to my One Monthly Goal, I always have a whole pile of goals.  Here they are:

Baste Joann's Sunbonnet Sue

Quilt this fundraiser quilt for my church.  (I did not make this quilt.  I am only quilting it.)

Make, quilt, and bind a cowboy baby quilt for my daughter's baby shower the end of the month.  I have not even started it yet.  I want to do a rendition of this cowboy quilt, but it won't be exactly the same pattern.

Here are my fabrics for the cowboy baby quilt.  Mine will be blue and brown.

Quilt Mom's Medallion.  Most of the outlining is already done.

Make receiving blankets for my daughters' combined shower (two daughters each getting a baby).  Here are some of the fabric that was available for a picture:  a yellow flannel back or the pink/purple flowered one that I plan to crochet around the edge; orange flannel back for an orange and green squares one I will piece and then crochet around the edge; another flannel blanket that these are sitting on (it's almost done).  I also have some others started that are not shown.

Finish piecing my Christmas log cabin quilt.  This is the number 9 projecct number that was drawn for the month of March over at Patchwork Times.

I am also linking up with Needle and Thread Thursday.
