May was very longarm focused and, even with a week of vacation, I got a lot done. My goals were:
- Quilt at least 6 more veterans quilts
- Finish one veterans quilt of my own
- Make postcards for Mother’s Day and birthdays
- Put the Monty scraps quilt together (brown and green scraps – this quilt needs a name)
- Quilt one of the 4 other quilts that I have in the closet.
Starting with the quilts that I finished. I finished on veterans quilt of my own and one scrap quilt that will be donated to the local women’s shelter.
Then I just quilted as many veterans quilts as I could get done. Eight in all!
I got a few other things done as well. 5 each of 2 postcard designs and some shirts for Cora using the Cricut.
I’m making slow progress on crochet projects but it’s not really crochet season because I’m not watching anything on TV. I work on it a little each week.
I also got the Trailside quilt top pieced and it’s on the longarm today. My goal is to get it done by Thursday. My big even for June is “craft camp” with Ella. We need to get busy planning her projects.
