Jocose July

Welcome Jocose July! Joscose means: humorous or liking to play. Sounds like a very good plan for July. Keeping a sense of humor as it heats up in my work room is very necessary.

I chose to start with this picture of some of the HSTs I made for the Lupin Mystery quilt.
I ran in through the app Percolator.
And then combined that with the super dramatic and showy Passionflower in the app, SnapSeed.
 
Here is my 1sE video for the month, one second of every day of the month of June..

 Monthly I-Did List for June

  1. I started working on the Lupine Mystery quilt again with various sizes of HSTs in different color combinations and sizes. It was A Lot of HSTs all at once~300!
  2. I started working on the HRTs for the Lupine Mystery quilt and used a new ruler.
  3. I made five Community Giving blocks.
  4. I worked on binding a Community Giving quilt.
  5. I made my BAMQ BOM blocks just in time, Drunkard's Path and X+.
  6. I started on my yearly participation in ICAD.
  7. I set up and started using my new Oliso iron.
  8. I participated in three exhibits at once in June, BAMQ AT SMCF, BAMQ at the SM Library and SLV Quilters at the BC Library.
  9. I got out and started working on my Mini QCR Pumpkins project to finish for the BAMQ UFO Challenge.
  10. I finished quilting and then did the binding on my Six by Six quilt for the BAMQ UFO Challenge.
I found that I got plenty done this month, including going to both the Sew Day and meeting for BAMQ,  had a couple great visits with family, kept going to the gym (yay me!), did a whole lot of gardening (see the June  Flower Friday post), kept going on two weekly PT appointments for my right wrist as it is working and helping how I can keep using my right hand like I need to. The plan is to continue keeping up the forward momentum throughout July.
