Good Bye August

It is hard to believe that summer has pretty much come and gone. I have to admit, the promise of Fall is lovely. The leaves are starting to fall, the shadows are getting longer, there is a sweet breeze  and the days are shorter and cooler.

I have gotten two more UFO finishes in to complete the month.  

This Thangles sampler from about six years ago.

And the Dresden Pkate that I started in January when the RSC color was blue.

This is what I have accomplished this month....

*Brickroad mini quilt 

*65 mini Bow Tie blocks (my Leaders and Enders project) for a grand total of 178.

*3 Wonky Star blocks

*6 Postage Stamp Star blocks

*2 Lucy Boston blocks - fell behind on my goal of one per week 

*Giant 4-Patch QOV

*Hooked Spring Basket rug-lack finishing edges

*18 Dog beds

*5 Farm Girl Vintage blocks

*7 RSC Sampler blocks 

*Buttermilk Basin Small August Matt

*Donder and Blitzen wall hanging (UFO)

*Dresden Plate quilt (UFO)

*Thangles Sampler quilt (UFO)

*block

*1 Vintage Block

When I put it all down, it looks pretty significant, whereas, if I just think about it, I feel as if I didn't do much.

This month I would like to....

*Stitch closed the 45 dog beds we stuffed at See Crazies

*Stitch RSC Sampler blocks, Wonky Star and Postage Stamp Stars for September (the color is orange 

*Start the setting blocks for the RSC Sampler

*Knit something 

*Bind 2014 Country Threads BOM

*Make Vintage top

*Finish floral hooked runner

*Finish Spring Basket rug

*Make more Farm Girl Vintage blocks

*Start Jen Kingwell SAL....click on the button on the sidebar if you think you might like to join in.....no stress, no deadlines.

I know that this is an ambitious list and it is not written in stone. But it gives me some goals and a starting point. 

Hope you guys are ready for September, too!

Our dear Buddy was found with a deformed leg that had been broken and never set, chained at an abandoned house.  This has always been my philosophy....even more so now.

Take Care,

Jennie
