July Stitching Goals Wrap Up

Another month has come to an end and we are now two thirds of the way through winter, with the days getting a little bit longer, which is nice.

Therefore, it is time to check in with what I have been working on throughout the month.  You can check back here to see what my goals were for July.

Let's see how I went:


1.    ONE MONTHLY GOAL

Yes, I have the top of my Jocelyn Proust quilt completed.  It is still with my quilting fairy, so no bonus finish.

2.    WOOFA CHALLENGE

I did complete the little baby quilt using my sample Swoon block, but I didn't get around to putting the snaps on the bibs.  It is such a big job....... it would probably take...... minutes....... It will happen, as will making the other eight bibs......  Pop over to Cheryll's to see what everyone else achieved.

3.    ONE PROJECT A MONTH

Yes!  I have a few - the Swoon baby quilt, some pillow cases, two face mask, the crochet scarf and the quilt in a day baby quilt.  I'm happy enough with that.

4.    CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE

Yes, I made one block.

5.    FRIDAY NIGHT WITH FRIENDS

Yes, and I was very productive.

6.    CROCHET

Yes, I made a crochet infinity scarf.

7.    OTHER BONUS PROJECTS

Ah, nope..... I haven't  made any more pencil cases and the Laundry Baskets Mystery Quilt blocks are still sitting patiently to be put together into a quilt top.  I'm actually quite happy for them to sit there for a little while, but I do want to get a wriggle on and get those pencil cases made sooner rather than later.

However, I did make a few other bonus projects - some pillow cases to update from our current threadbare ones, a couple of face masks (but I need to make more) and a baby quilt in a day.  

You can read about all of these projects here and here.

July is usually a fairly productive month for me, as it is good weather to stay inside in the sewing room.  Now I have to have a think about what goals to set for next month.

Incredibly productive as always.
Which pattern do you use for your masks? I feel the need to make a couple of new masks for Tony and I. Nothing wrong with my pattern, just might have a change. LOL

July was a productive month for you with some cute finishes in the Swoon away quilt and the one day finish…..
I’m sure you’ll have a great August list to do too !
