June goals

Last month's goals were met plus I got fabric cut for the 365 challenge that jumped into my path and is waiting patiently for me. Ok. I'm ready for June! The next two months are going to be quiet months for me quilting-wise, so sewing friends beware. Leiya is coming in the middle of June and she and I will be going to California in the middle of July, so I don't see a lot of sewing being done (but you never know).

So June's goals will be simple and non-pressured.

1. Finish the applique border -- Hah! Fooled you! I'm done! I worked on it this morning and it is up on my piano! Nadine, I even made the label and IT IS SEWN ON!
2. Finish quilting the Wonky Word quilt. Hmm... That puts some pressure on but if the sewing machine isn't out this may be the only sewing I do for awhile.
3. Make a kimono apron. I've got Mrs. Ide's beautiful fabric and I really want to use up the left-over kimono fabric I have sitting on the table.
4. Quilt my four blocks on the Bazaar quilt.
5. Make the last feathered star block (before I forget how)

Here's Vel trying out my border while I was getting ready to sew the binding on. I love the way cats christen all quilts when they are being made.

And here is my piano border! Not bad, not bad. Kind of cheery. Not exactly what I'd been imagining. I'd been thinking of country when I started. The black piano (which no one plays) is a dark spot in my living room and I've always had a quilt or tablecloth on it to lighten it up a bit. It's always seemed a shame to me to have a quilt on it since most of the quilt can't be seen and the cats just layer it with fur. So... I made the border and tacked it onto an old tablecloth and Ta-da! A cheerful piano cover! Well! It's June first and my first goal is completed!

Now to clean up the sewing room. Maybe I should start posting housekeeping goals. It's the only way I seem to get anything done.
