ALYofF July Quilty Goals

June was a crazy, wierd month.
But July is upon us and for me, that means a break from teaching and some well deserved R&R. (whew!) My early mornings will be spent leisurely as I take my daily 2-3 mile walks, eat breakfast late, and tend to the lawn and garden chores. (I just love tinkering outside.) My afternoons will find me busy sewing and  keeping cool right here:
Yes, with my buddy Jackson keeping me company.

I plan to complete the following list of goals before we go on a mini vacation with our kids to the mountains at the end of the month(which means Grammy time for me!):


  1. My ALYofF July Goal will be to make a quilt out of my Lucy's Crab Shack Layer pack (Can anyone recommend a quick pattern?) done! See it here.
  2. Quilt for Project Linus done! See it here
  3. Create some cute thank you notes for school out of fabric scraps. done! See them here.
  4. Oh! And finish my June ALYofF Dog Quilt....LOL! (I'm quilting it this week) done! See it here.

And of course, a habit I come by honestly from my dad, a daily 3:00 ice cream break is always in order and heck, maybe a good book read in-between all the quilting. Our days here in Eastern Oregon (USA) are long right now. It's dawn at 5:00am and dusk at 10:00pm!!! Crazy right! And well, never being one to sit still well, I'm convinced that:
I'm not as rigid in routine as it sounds. If I don't feeling like doing something one day, I don't. But more or less, this is what my summer days look like. So thanks for stopping by and letting me exclaim my July goals to the blogging universe.
With genuine smiles and appreciation,
Val:)

  12. Pink Lemonade (available for free at Fat Quarter Shop) is a great pattern for a layer cake. And it almost sews itself together!
