The biggest challenge this month was to try to get everything done. Last month I finished two of the "Blocks of the Month", Material girls, and Down the Rabbit Hole. These two were what I promised to complete for the "A Lovely Year of Finishes" (see to the side). Although I promised to complete these two quilts (sandwich, quilt, bind, the whole thing), I still have a large list of things to do. The bold items are the ones that I am behind in. My main goal is to keep up with the BOMs but the appliques are just not happening (the sycamore rose block is 4 months behind now.
I can honestly say that I am disappointed with myself this month. I understand why I am behind but still, I should of enjoyed relaxing more with the quilting, and July is almost a write off because I'm away travelling. So that will be the perfect time to do some of the applique for the sycamore rose quilt blocks. I really need to catch up on those.
- Material Girl's Layer Cake finishing off the quilt (put the borders on it) and quilt the entire things. Finish it off. - put it all together, got borders, and have started quilting but it will take me ages...

Had a bad month this month. I was on strike which meant that I was busy on the strike picketing line, and nervous about what was happening. I was so exhausted because I stress that I hardly sewed. But my main goals were to complete those two quilts (first two listed), and when doing that I had enough left over material from the "Down the Rabbit Hole" that I made a third one. Two for the price of one.
