June - Project List and Goals

Got several things finished up this month, and made progress on others.   I'll be house & critter sitting for about 6 weeks starting the end of June, and my plans at this point including getting at least 4 quilts quilted and bound, and hopefully several of the tops that I've made to sell as well.

Commissions -

1. 16" pillow from bodice of wedding dress for KA- Sleeves have been removed and trying to figure out the best way to clean the discolored lace on the bodice now
2. 4 or 5 10" ring bearer pillows from wedding dress for KA
3. Christmas stockings for J and J for RG, due no later than July 2019- I know the style she wants now, just need to piece at least one more "blank" and might do two so that the fabrics in them are the same.

Quilts to Sell - 

Realistically go through my quilts and think about whether I really want them or have a place to use them and sell the ones that I don't.

Think about trying to sell my longarm.......

Gratitudes:

1. for the cane that helps stabilize me when the knee hurts

2. for being able to pay the bills even when pay checks are weeks behind..........
