I think I choose the realistic option (let's face it, this month will not be longer than any other, not more than a day anyway).
I decided I will finish the MOD Winter piece that I made for The Crafted Applique Bloghop.
The finish was stalled a couple month's ago because I wasn't happy with my layout, perspectively, and couldn't work out my quilting plan the way I'd intended.
hmm, maybe a big pillow instead?
Hopefully, this will get me revved up for all the Christmas in July events. Sarah, at Confessions of a Fabric Addict, has a quick Christmas Quilt Along planned as part of the Twelve Days of Christmas in July, a fun bloghop she is hosting.
All this inspiration is sure to kick my butt into gift-making mode!
The best part is, it all coincides with:
Ho, Ho, Ho, and on We Sew!
I'll be hosting the July linkup on the 18th!
If you are working on Christmas projects, I hope you will share them here!

That is such a cute project. I think a Christmas pillow would be great. Thanks for the linky party!
ReplyDeleteI love your piece. I know it didn't do what you originally wanted, but I don't have that picture in my head, and it's simply wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove those cute little reindeer! I'm also working on a holiday project that's been taking up my entire design wall. Hoping to make some progress on it this month as well.
ReplyDeleteLove the background fabric. Definitely a cushion in the making.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out, Heidi! I'll definitely be back on the 18th!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that! Good luck on your goal.
ReplyDeleteYour goal is really cute. I am new to the linky party and to your blog too but I am sure I'll be back!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love the red deer with the green trees, makes a great focal point. Good luck with your goal. Thank you for hosing OMG, it's been a very useful challenge.
ReplyDeleteLove those deer--very cute! Good luck with your goal--it's going to be adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! Time to finish that up! It's adorable. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think a cushion is a great idea. Then there will be enough time left over to start something new.

Your Mod deer would make a great pillow. I love the retro vibe of your design Heidi! In fact I think a fabric designer should make it into a fabric line! Thanks for boosting my book!
ReplyDeleteCute deer, can't wait to see it quilted!
ReplyDeleteI think your quilt looks great, Heidi. I hope it all works out to one you love! Thanks for hosting OMG. I appreciate it.
