May Accomplishments and June Goals

Another month has passed where things didn't go as planned. I'm never disappointed by that. It just means that I found some higher priorities and the list can roll over to another month. This month I've also been dealing with some major tendonitis in my left hand so much of the work I wanted to do just couldn't be done. Doing crochet has come to a virtual halt. But it's getting better. I feel an end in sight.

Here were my goals for May:

1. I'll continue working on the green Club Noir quilt during quilt club sewing days and will probably finish the top at home once the blocks are done. It would be great to get that top finished this month. (I got all the blocks done and I'll finish working on this quilt in my home sewing room and will use my quilt club sewing days for veterans quilt tops.)
2. Get the border added to the vulture quilt. This is really my primary goal for the month (I didn't get this done. All I accomplished was getting the binding off.

3. Finish all the serger projects (pillowcases for the boys, walker caddies, and a dog bed) 

4. Make new postcards for upcoming birthdays (done!)

5.  Finish cutting out all of the veterans/donation quilt kits that I have planned, including doing something with the leftover safari fabric (I still have a couple more to cut out and then I'll be done)
6.  Quilt more veterans quilts, I'm way behind (This is my major goal for the month! I got 8 more quilts quilted.)

All in all, for a 3 week month, I'm very happy with my progress.
