When I look back on the month of June I see mostly a repeat of May with a focus on veterans quilts. I've been talking for weeks about my lack of inspiration to start a new project. I think that this multi-year focus on winnowing the UFO list has become too much of an obsession. Now I don't want to add to the list! I also don't have any need for a new quilt. I've made quilts for most of my family and friends (the people that want one) so focusing on veterans quilts is a fine focus for now. But I think I'm going to pull out one of my drawers of hand dyed fabrics and pick a block and start making a tonal quilt. The blue drawer is pretty full and there are lots of red/orange/yellow fabrics too. I'm also considering something foundation pieced like one of Karen K Stone's patterns. But I'll also keep making veterans quilts. There are the 2 I finished in June. I have another top made and 2 more kits cut out. I also finished one crochet blanket, quilted a quilt for Mom and started 2 more crochet projects! The yellow/gray one will be done tomorrow.
Here are my stats for May: My May stats are: Starting UFO 12 (15 in 2018) Finished YTD 7 Started YTD 2 Ending UFO 5 Veterans quilts made - 6 Veterans quilts quilted - 14 Fabric Postcards - 18 Pet Beds 5 Garment Placemats - 12 Quilted for others - 3 Crochet projects - 7 COVID masks - approximately 180 Tea towels for WHEAT fundraiser - dozens! Of my goals I did everything excep planning a new quilt project and starting the Sprigraph floorcloths. Here are the stats for June: Starting UFO 12 (15 in 2018) Finished YTD 6 Started YTD 2 Ending UFO 5 Veterans quilts made - 6 Veterans quilts quilted - 24 Fabric Postcards - 18 Pet Beds 5 Garment Placemats - 12 Quilted for others - 4 Crochet projects -8 COVID masks - approximately 180 Tea towels for WHEAT fundraiser - dozens!

Snap, I'm just starting a quilt inspired by Karen Stone. After spending a week or more casting about for a new project and being VERY cranky, cause this has never happened to me before, I'm back on track. Well almost back on track, a few clients brought quilts to be quilted but I've pulled fabrics and dyeing the background, so happy, happy here. All my book wins were Connelly so no new recs for you. 7/1/2020 02:52:52 pm
Remember, a new project is therapy and you wouldn't want to skip your therapy session.

You sure made a dent in quilting veteran quilts! I feel the same, that is hard to start a new quilt when you really don't need anymore. 7/9/2020 08:59:33 am
