Default July finishes and YTD total

July started off with a bang, even if we could only watch it on TV.

Congratulations!

Practicing first, as suggested by Pat Sloan, really helped. None of the swirls has eyelashes, which mine have had in the past.
Conchelea, your family babies are keeping you busy ☺️

Rob, kudos to you for acting on “Done is better than perfect”. If we just finish them instead of looking at the mistakes, resolving to take them apart and fix them, then getting down about the time required to fix them and letting them lie in a pile in a closet, we would all have fewer UFOs.

115 through June, 119 through today. As always, PM me if I missed anything.

Most importantly, a big congratulations to NZ quilter. 🤱
