Charming Girls Quilt Club Goals

Because of the fall injuring both of my knees, my goals for the

Charming Girls Quilt Club went a bit askew, but I am determined to stay on track now. I am ordering the rest of my supplies for the circle quilt and romantic Victorian journal that I am doing about Joe and me. I will get the journal done for sure this month, and hopefully all the supplies will arrive soon for the circle quilt, which I will then begin to work on.

Then, I have joined The Gracie Jane Project. I am going to make a really small quilt which will be given to a baby who is in a neonatal intensive care unit in hospitals in Ontario. You can see the pattern for the quilt when you click on the link. It is a neat pattern, and I have to find some modern, cheerful fabrics. I will be checking The Fat Quarter Shop for the fabric I can use, and you know that you can find anything at the Fat Quarter Shop. My goal is to finish that as soon as possible, and then get the circle quilt started after that. I will be hand sewing all the circles instead of doing raw edge applique, so I doubt I will be get it done in October, but we shall see.
I also have my F-R-I-E-N-D-S Swap due in the third week of October, which is being hosted by Khris of Sew Prim Khris. I have a big package to send out to Mary in Australia. I have already figured out what I will send her for each letter of the word Friends,but I can't spoil the surprise, so mum is the word. Thus, I will be gathering all the supplies for the swap this month and then get it mailed out in October.

In the meantime, I am still concentrating on my knees...doing the therapy and excercises that I need and still waiting for the Pilates to arrive at QVC UK. I know I need this period of rest and recuperation, but I also need to get involved in some things to get my mind off of all that has happened. These projects will be neat for me and also very good for me, as this year has been a year I will never forget. So for September/October, I will be doing a lot of therapy and excercising for both my bad knees....and most definitely beyond that.

Yes, I will continue walking.Joe and I take our three mile walk in the morning, and then the same one in the afternoon. We go feed Coco the horse carrots and apples, and then we now have a border collie pup who comes down to visit us when we feed the horse, and boy is she cute. I am bringing bones for her, and she stays for a while to visit with us, and then the mommy border collie comes and calls her back with some strong barks. It is so cute! The walks have been essential for me, as I don't want to get stiff in my legs in addition to having the injuries...I don't need that!

So these are my goals! As I don't plan on falling again, I hope that I will accomplish all of them!
