✔14. Share the photos from the guild participants' Indigo Way.
✔15. Sew with a granddaughter should she be available.
This was a huge list, especially considering I worked a four day. I was also down with COVID for a full week followed by two weeks of serious fatigue and coughing.
Gertie, my inner squirrel, helped me with the quilting filler for "Play."

July 31, I had an eye check with an ophthalmologist to ensure all was well. Next week, I'll have one more eye check before being released to my optometrist.
I don't have much to report on the progress of my knee other than I've decided to take care of the Achilles tendonitis that happened after I tore my quadriceps muscle. The heel pain keeps me walking "wonky" so my knee and quadriceps healing isn't progressing. J've made an appointment with a podiatrist.

As I pulled the fabric I had planned for the backing of the 2022-2023 Temperature Quilt, I found I didn't have near enough. I also remembered that I wanted to make a legend. I picked out four batik fat quarters that sort of coordinate with the main backing fabric. I made the legend and with the addition of couple other fabrics constructed the back. In August, I'll document the process.

9. Work on Rita's temperature quilt. Now that I've figured out how to end the rows, it's time to make the top.
I'll be the teaching participants how to teach the Red Cross Water Safety programs this month and helping other participants complete their American Heart Basic Life Support skills tests so I'll have to be diligent with studio time!

Oh, My, Sizzling Bacon!!! The pressing of all those little blocks is making me tired. I move my ironing board outside or in front of the TV when I'm stuck with a big task like that. How do you do it? A few rows at a time? Good luck with your goals for August. Love your temperature quilt. Enjoy! ;^)
I love seeing the back of your temperature quilt with all of your tidy hand stitching, Terry! And how wonderful to have a sewing day with your granddaughter.
That is a lot of checkmarks, considering the other things you've been dealing with lately, Terry! I'm so glad your second cataract surgery went smoothly. Mike is ready to get his done this week, too. Your latest temperature quilt is looking wonderful! I think it's the rows of colorful flying geese that are really catching my attention. That's a neat design!
Yay for getting lots done in July! What was your granddaughter sewing?
Your to-do list has my head spinning, Terry! Great to hear your second cataract surgery went so well. Miss K looks like her usual enthusiastic, ardent self!!!
I always enjoy seeing your goal list Terry. I am amazed how much you get completed as well. I was thinking about you the other day and wondering if you had baked more bread. I am so happy that all went well with the cataract surgery. I know you are glad that is over with. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
Yeah for the completed list! I love how you write your goals, it's a fun list to read, and clever to make one for a month instead of a week 😉
How wonderful to have your granddaughter sewing with you!
