June was . . .

Not as productive as May. I only finished one quilt, which is the goal so I did okay, but compared to May I feel like I was slacking. In my defense (who am I defending myself against?  . . . right) I was super busy in June going to Idaho twice and Moab once and managing to run 100 miles. I did cut out and sew most of a patriotic table runner. I actually finished it in July, but most of the work was done in June.
I used the same pattern as the quilt I was working on in May
and just changed the colors for the holiday.
I was going to make a patriotic quilt. I really was. I bought all the fabric, found a design in liked, but I just couldn't fine the motivation. This was as good as it was going to get for this year. I realized I have a quilt to finish for my friend Katie before she moves next month. Guess I should try and find some motivation for that.

I'd post pictures of the quilt I finished in June, but it's a gift for a friend and she might look at this and I don't want to ruin the surprise so it will have to wait until after the baby shower in August. Believe me though, it's cute. 
Here's to hoping July will be more productive that June, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.
