July Goal DONE!

Woo HOO! It's been a few months since I "finished" something and with good reason but this month I did it! I finished the Patriotic Rag Quilt that I promised for a fundraiser with plenty of time to spare. Here it is!

It will be sold via silent auction at the Liz Lykowski Memorial Scholarship Fundraiser on Saturday, July 27th in Toledo, Ohio.  Liz was my sister-in-law (husband's sister) who passed away at 21 years old from a undiagnosed heart defect while attending Indiana Tech. She was a defensive specialist on the Tech volleyball team and had been a part of the team for since it's inception 3 years prior to her death.  Monies raised at this fundraiser will fund the memorial scholarships in her name at Whiteford High and Indiana Tech for college bound and/or collegiate volleyball players.  

June Goal Fail, July Goal Hope

So I didn't finish my June Goal :(  It was also my goal for April and May.  There was so much going on with planning the Birthday party, the move and my mom's visit that I didn't finish.  I sat up the night before the party wondering if I should work though the night to finish and decided against it as I needed all the energy I could muster to deal with 13 kids under 6 and parents.  I was heart broken that I couldn't give my son his rocket quilt but all in all, I am the only one who cared.  Ironically, it's still not finished!  I got it quilted and it needs to be trimmed and bound but I have to put it aside for the month of July to do a quilt I promised for the end of the month.

That brings me to my July goal... A patriotic rag quilt for auction that will benefit my late sister-in-law's scholarship fund, Elizabeth A. Lykowski Memorial Scholarship, at Indiana Tech.  The fundraiser is July 27th and I have to figure in mailing time from CA to MI so I need to make quick work of this project.  Honestly, I think my husband will shoot me if I don't finish it because he wants the supplies to fall on this years tax deductions.
