The first week of a Month about me ;-)

I think this might be a good idea!! Maybe I will have to incorporate this *Month of Me* every year!!! 

I am having too much fun with no stress. The first day I had  QOV zoom meeting, and it was one with no questions - they were just detailing some of the things we need to know and introducing us to the new Director. Did you know there is a QOV backlog?

Sunset after smoke from the the fires are moved out a bit

There are a few states that have more requests than Quilts. So QOV is asking us to share any extras - so!! If you are one that has wanted to make a Quilt of Valor - you can email them on the website (QOVF.org) - they have places for it to go.

 My Dog Trainer came!!! I have decided I am not equipped to make these dogs love each other - and I am missing something. So She came over!! Yes!!  a traveling Dog trainer - I love it. We learned that Daisy needs more personal space than Bella does, so she gave me a lot of things to work on.

I know they are *This Close* to loving each other. I just don't know the next proper steps. 

So Daisy (left) is less trained that we thought - so we are going back to basics with her... but she does have a lot of basics. 

She also has the desire to run like the wind and ignore you... not so good when she finds a bunny!!!

Saturday - we competed on our Horses again - and lawsy mercy people!! We must have walked 7 miles, getting to and from the competition rings. My feet hurt, and on the last walk - My horse Vapor locked haha. It was 100 degrees and no shade.  We park our trailers at angles to make shade for them. 

She got to a part of the hill and just stopped. She was done! we convinced her - but man was she happy when we took the saddle off and pulled out the hay and cool water.

I got a little bit of quilting in. There was a tag on this quilt with the year it was made ( and I don't think I made it)  - But lets just say - it was TIME!!!! I will show you it when I finally have the binding on..... Fun to quilt one of them in my *to be done someday * pile.

I got to see sunrises from the ground. Lately we have been horseback when the sun comes up - so this was a nice little change to see... and the smoke from the three fires to the east of us sure adds color.

I have a lot of other things on my To do list now - I wrote them all down. That is sometimes good and sometimes bad . Often I write them down - then consider them done and start new things.... oops

This time... man I am going to give it a try!! I think I am off to a good start!

June's Blue Lightning Streak Quilt is DONE!!! and!! Finished ( or not) Friday!!

I actually got this done on the 31st - pretty late at night... so I did get it under the wire... but !! I have no proof - so you'll just have to trust me !!

Ta da!!!! It has a wide variety of blues in it - anything that was in my 5 inch square box was fair game. And of course I like white with Blue - its so crisp and clean.  I quilted it up with wavy things ( I need to remember to write down the pantos I use, but its too much work)

I bound it with Light Blue - it kind of looks like a denim ..

And this is the backing I used - Isn't it fun? Its all stripey and Blue and White and Crisp.

I am so happy to have it done. Its my own pressure, and my own goals - but I am glad when I get to meet one haha!!  Now onto the Teal/Aqua one  - lets hope it gets done before Sept!!

This month is going to be a bit different for me! I am taking a little Customer Quilting Sabbatical. All my customers are taken care of, ( well except the two that I will get done) but this month is  going to be:

I have a PILE of tops that I have made, and a few that I have purchased, and some wedding quilts I want to get done ----- So K and I decided that August looked like a good month for me to make it all about me!! PLUS its my Birthday month - so that fits - right???

I can't guarantee I'll be blogging more ( your happy about that aren't you?? ) but I am going to give it my best shot to get MORE done.

  Now it is YOUR TURN!!! BRAG away - what's up this week?
