June 2024 PHD Report

Hard to believe that we've already passed the half way mark on the year.  June was busy with lots of non sewing stuff, so though I managed to keep up with my stitching time, there's no progress in my PHD Report. 

No new starts, so that's a positive.  But no new finishes. Even so there was good progress towards making that happen in July.  

My second oldest UFO was moved along and underwent a name change as well.  What started as the Grandmother's Choice quilt along with Barbara Brackman is now Kate's Choice as I've been picking the blocks for this sampler. 

Almost two more rows of blocks have been added since the end of May.  Just two more rows of blocks left to make.  The plan for this quilt is to finish it as a quilt as you go.  I'm hoping to get to the quilting part before the end of third quarter.  We'll see how that goes.  

We went to Texas for a conference and some kitty sitting, so the travel project also saw a bit of progress. 

Since we have family time planned for the 4th of July holiday, it will see some additional progress in July. 

Work on the Wild and Goosey blocks (Bonnie Hunter) continued with the addition of a few new blue blocks.

I've been making these blocks in the RSC colors (So Scrappy).  July's color is teal.  Hopefully I can make some good progress on those.  

My one hope for a finish was the 2023 SAHRR (Quilting Gail).  But the USPS delivered my check for the quilter to the wrong address, so that delayed the shipping back to me.  

I did get the binding made and attached to the front, but there wasn't enough left of the month for me to finish the hand stitching to the back.  There will definitely be a finish for July.  

Indigo Way (Bonnie Hunter) inched along in June as well.  

The last 4 setting triangles are not quilt assembled, but I'm getting close.  I discovered as I was putting these blocks up on the wall, I've been laying out the rows incorrectly.  I'll need to stay on top of that when I get to assembly. 

The 2024 SAHRR was given a good press and de-threaded last weekend.

It was packaged and shipped out yesterday. So hopefully it will be quilted and back before the end of July.  It would be nice to have another finish before the next PHD report. 

I didn't quite get the Guild BOM caught up for June. 

July's block will be one of the 12" blocks, so it should go a bit faster than June's did. 

The June progress tracker shows one more bar almost all the way across the chart.  

Not much movement on the rest of the chart, but not all progress shows up well in a chart.  Next month there should be some more obvious changes in this chart (fingers crossed).
