| Goal number 1 |
✔1. Make progress on my guild challenge project--I'm considering adding words and/or graphics. . .
UPDATE: I took the project to one of my small group meetings. I explained the challenge rules. I talked about my inspiration behind the challenge and the symbolism in my project. When I talked about adding graphics and words, the hands down response was "Stop." "Layer, baste and quilt it!" I took their advice as I tend to over work an idea! It is ready to be quilted!
✔2. Finish Good Fortune.
✔3. Determine the quilting for "Read," the project for the book, "The Last Bookshop in London."
✔4. Determine the quilting and the backing as well as layer and glue baste the sashiko project.
✔5. Finish my small group challenge project.
✔6. Publish a post of my sourdough bread
recipe tries.

✔7. Make string blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. This month the color is pastel.
✔8. Make progress on my rug weaving project. I spent a few days at the end of the month making progress. I think I might be getting the hang of the process!
UPDATE: I spent four days this month weaving. The photo in this post is progress after using one of the flannel pillow cases. The rug measures 15 inches in diameter!
✔9. Begin string piecing bits from the bags that over time I've gathered 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 inch segments. The bag is over full. The time has come!
✔10. Process the leftovers of the backings and battings from Good Fortune, Dash and Beyond the Surface.
✔11. Determine which Bonnie Hunter project to work on next. Will it be a leader/ender or a started project?

My July goals are:
1. Make progress on Triple Treat. I cut more blocks to piece at my in person Maven sew day.
2. Piece the string blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. This month the color is aqua. I've pulled my scraps which aren't many!
3. Spend a few sewing sessions piecing string blocks. The 4 1/2 inch and 6 1/2 inch string bags need emptying!
4. Layer and baste butterfly quilt number four. It was on my annual list last year.

I love what your group said - lol they don't hold back do they? :D I tend to overthink too, so you aren't alone. Your weaving is fascinating and looking great. I'm glad you mentioned the RSC color - I hadn't gone searching for it yet! I like your aqua scraps, one of my fave colors! Hope you have a great week.
You had an amazing June, Terry. Well done on accomplishing your goals. I have no doubt July will be equally successful.
You have lots of good checkmarks this month, Terry! I'm fascinated by your weaving project, and also looking forward to seeing how the guild challenge turns out. It's so nice to have friends that you can run your ideas by and get good advice from! Looks like you have some pretty aqua scraps to play with in July, too.
Your rug is looking wonderful, Terry. Rug making is a good stash buster too. The princess fabrics are darling for aprons. You have a wonderful goal list for the month. I look forward to seeing your butterfly quilt. Hugs
I'm tired just reading your list, though I have a similar one in my head. I don't dare write it down. It would intimidate me. I like your weaving.
Oh gosh Terry. Your list of to-dos nearly wears me out! Though I don't doubt you touch every single project on your list, I also admire you for creating that list. Like CathieJ above, I simply can't do that, as I then feel too totally overwhelmed, guilty and intimidated about my WIPs. I'm delighted for you that this method works though. Of course, I especially enjoy seeing the progress on your braided rug. It's looking wonderful! And it looks round. Yay you! Enjoy the process of whittling down your to-dos!
