January Goals

In December, I hoped to...
1.  Keep up with scraps: trimming and Bits and Bobs.  Done!

2. Get the binding on TTS.  Done!  I also finished the white border.

3.  Keep on working on the rose appliqué. Done!

4.  Cut the pieces for my "Garden Party" quilt.  Done!  I even sewed all the chain blocks!

5. Finish the Assistant's quilt. Done!

6.  Get the pink, purple, and green orphan blocks to a top.  This is a collaboration with Spunky.  Very "liberated."  Done!  I totally finished it.

If it works... the placemat and stocking.  I'm going to be induced December 14, so there's not much time!  Placemat done, stocking pattern ordered.

I also finished a new flimsy, Spelling Bee, to use up yellow, black, white, and grey orphan blocks and scraps.

In January, I hope to...
1.  Sew up some new scrappy projects and keep up with old: trim scraps, Bits and Bobs, 5 Garden Party blocks, 20 mini 9s, 20 hourglass blocks, and four Barn Dance blocks.  The color for the month is purple.  I have one lonely orphan strip in purple, so rather than create more blocks, I hope to find a small project to use up the strip.

2. UFO hand quilting: quilt blocks 9 and 10.

3.  Finish "Spelling Bee."

Time permitting, I may work on pillow cases, DH's stocking, or the rose appliqué.

Nice finishes last December for you!! I have set myself some goals--but will be working slowly on them--I am not good with deadlines--had too many when I was a working gal...looking forward to seeing your projects come to life Happy New Year to you and yours, Julierose

You had a great December! Congrats on all the progress, along with the new little one. Good luck with your January goals.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
