A Lovely Year of Finishes–March Goal Setting

March 2, 2013 by persimondreams 4 Comments

I’ve really been enjoying these last few months with having goals set.  I’m definitely accomplishing things I probably wouldn’t have without the goals.  I tend to be a bit scattered so I think this is helping me focus on things I really should finish.  So…here it goes for this month.

Goal 1:  Project QUILTING, Challenge 5

The next challenge goes up on Sunday, March 3rd.

Goal 2: Prepare Quilts for the Prairie Heritage Quilt Show and Competition.

I entered multiple quilts into the Prairie Heritage Quilt Show and Competition in Sun Prairie.  The show is next month and the quilts have to be dropped off on April 5th.  I still have to add hanging sleeves and labels to the quilts.  Not hard but I just can’t forget to do it – and it’s one of those things that will probably have to happen when Pip isn’t around.

What quilts did I enter?

Category D. Bed Size Quilts, pieced, machine quilted

Goal 3:  Baby Quilts

This is a project that I also have to finish in March.  I have a baby shower at the end of the month and I need to make the baby quilt that my mom and I will be giving.

I’m going to making up my own design using the panels from this fabric – Critter Community from Suzy Ultman for Robert Kaufmann.  I found it my stash (I honestly can’t remember where I got it from…maybe fabric.com?) and instantly knew I had to fussy cut the panels out to use for the baby quilt.  I cut out enough panels for two quilts.  If it’s cool, I’ll try to keep notes for the pattern as I work through it.  It’s pretty neat looking in my mind right now…but we’ll have to see what happens.

Goal 4:  Bind my 1930’s Repro Sampler Quilt

Remember my quilt from the January Party that I needed to finish piecing?  Well – it arrived at my house beautifully quilted by the lovely Marcia Wachuta of Marcia’s Crafty Sewing & Quilting.  Quilts 2013 Feb 28 009 (Medium)

Here’s just a taste of what the final quilt looks like (thanks for the picture’s Marcia!).  I managed to get the binding on while our dinner was cooking and now I just need to finish hand stitching the rest.  I hope to get it done before my local quilt guild meeting on Monday, March 4th so I can show it off before I give it to my friend!  I’ll share more about this quilt in a post next week!

Goal 5: Project QUILTING, Challenge 6

The sixth and final Project QUILTING Challenge will go up on Sunday, March 17th.

 

I actually have more things I would like to get done but I should probably stop at that for now.  Anything else that I accomplish can just be a bonus then!
