May Accomplishments and June Goals

May was definitely the month of placemats. I made 18 of them and they were well received at this year's beach gifts. It was my primary goal for the month and I met it. I want to make one more set for my other brother so that will be on the June list.

My other goals for May were:
- quilt Mom's baby quilt - done
- quilt and finish the firefighter quilt - quilted, not yet bound
- start the Goldfinch quilt - started pulling fabrics
- Mother's Day and birthday postcards - done

I also made a ton of soap. It will be ready sometime in late June.
​

In between I worked on some crochet projects but only finished 5 hats for donation. I used up 5 balls of yarn this month. that's not a lot but it's enough. I've been really good about no adding to my stash so any amount out is a positive.

My YTD stats:
Veterans quilts made - 8
​Donation lap quilts - 12
Veterans quilts quilted - 19
Fabric Postcards - 11
​​Quilted for others - 3
​Crochet blankets - 3
​​Crochet shawls - 1
​​Crochet/loom knit hats and scarves - 24
Doll outfits - 2
Placemats - 24
​​Other Donated items - 74
​​Garments (sewn and cochet) - 1
​Balls of yarn used - 32
​Other items - 3

My goals for June are pretty ambitious but, at a minimum, I want to stick to this list of projects:
- another set of birthday postcards
- make pet beds with all the batting scraps I've accumulated
- quilt 6 veterans quilts
- finish quilting Mom's floral quilt
- bind and label the firefighter quilt
- get the Goldfinch quilt top made
