To sum up July's quilting quickly:
1. I finished one UFO - Charm Quilt #1.
- I was out of town for 10 days
- I spent 4 days nursing my sore knee
- I read or listened to 13 books
- I did a lot of knitting and started crocheting again for the 1st time in decades
- It has been the windiest summer month I can remember!
My July Goals ended up looking like this:

I'm going to try again with my Thimbleberries Jacobs Ladder Quilt as my August finish for A Year of Lovely Finishes.
July flew by like the wind so I hope August lingers a bit. Our weather has been rather fall-like the last 10 days and that makes me a bit sad.

Glad the knee is starting to recover. Great work so far as every bit counts.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the knee problem you really did get a lot done in July. And reading some good books counts. I have also gotten some good reading done this month and NONE of it was for work. Yay!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! So glad that knee is feeling better! Sore knees affect everything we do :(
ReplyDeleteI love that scrappy quilt you've got going on your design wall - wow!!!
You have had a very productive July considering! And yes, it`s been an off July here too, so... what is a girl to do but go sew something - and I love you Jacob`s Ladder. Looks very snugly and warm although not as big as I would like it!! :-) Did you read the books or listen to them because I can listen to that many, but to sit and read them - hmmmmmm. There was a time when I definitely could have, but lately.......
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes, great plans for August and now, lets get them done!!
(As I am reading your list, I was creating my own - better get off the comp so I can make a good start on the month!!!)
thanks for the view into your world - it is a fun place to visit! Thanks for letting me in!!
great job this month. yes, it did fly by and I hope August will go by a little slower except maybe with some cooler weather. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's a great design wall. So big! Glad you are feeling better too
ReplyDeleteLove those teal blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilts. And I love your design walls as well. I'm hoping to get something in the way of a design wall up soon too. I can see where it would be very useful.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely work! I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous of your design wall: I haven't space for one (too many bookshelves in the way) and I wish for one every now and again.
ReplyDeleteI love your teal blocks! Hope your knee is completely better soon!
ReplyDeleteI love your design wall and those teal blocks! Awesome.
ReplyDeletepopping over from LYF....... good lucky with all that beautiful work
ReplyDeleteDarling little charm quilt - I love how you quilted it, so simple with the wavy lines.
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking your Arkansas Crossing blocks - nice pattern, and such happy colors.
I covet your design wall!
Wow, I achieve nothing when I am in pain, can't believe how much you managed in July - you must be a machine when not suffering! Your design wall looks brilliant, such a useful thing to have. One of my saddest things about moving house last year was losing the space for a design wall.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your knee, hope that you have continued to improve. Love the teal blocks, very clean and fresh looking.
