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.






A Lovely Year of Finishes
