July Goals

The topic this month for the Charming Girls and Guys is self care.  Have to admit, I'm not very good at that!  I decided that my goal for the month would be to spend some time in my sewing room.  With getting the house fixed up and on the market, I hadn't visited it, except to pile stuff on the tables.  I got it so clean that I couldn't wait to go up and work.  I finished my 9 patch blocks and my Schnibbles quilt this weekend, so that goal was accomplished. That brings me to my quilting goals, which we're also supposed to be setting!  So, here are mine...

1. Take these 9 patches, which Miley is helping me organize, and turn them into a quilt.  Last month I joined the 9 patch challenge at  Waterwheelhouse House Quilt Shop in Londonderry, VT. They'll be having a luncheon for all those who participated in late August, so I'll be driving up to visit Andrew and have lunch.


2.  My second goal is to quilt and finish my Schnibbles quilt.  I'm up to date on the quilt along now and my top is finished.  If I have time, once I finish my customer quilts, this little quilt will go on the machine.


I'd also like to get in a little knitting time, but that's not a huge priority.  Of course my biggest goal will be to sell our house...I can't wait for that to happen!  Keep your fingers crossed...

Good luck with all of your goals. I think spending more time in your sewing room sounds like a great one - that is something I have trouble with - especially once I get on the computer and start blog hopping!! :)

I just made this same Schnibbles quilt for my mom for her birthday. And then I have made a big version - all in blues. I got the big version loaded on the long arm today in hopes of getting it quilted this week. Can't wait to try another Schnibble! You can check them out on my blog.

Good luck with your July goals!
