Challenge Chaos

May 20, 2015 by persimondreams 3 Comments

I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in the matter I’m about to discuss with you all but please, feel free to let me know if I am.  I may take on too many projects all at the same time.  Does this ever happen to you?  Don’t get me wrong – I love it … but sometimes I need to sit back and take a look at what needs to happen and what deadlines I’m looking at. With that being said – this post is mostly for me.  I think  I need a post to help keep track of where I’m at, where I’m heading and when I need to be finished.

Project:  Semi Secret, using Jen Kingwell’s new fabric line ‘Gardenvale’

semi secret project Due Date: sometime at the end of May
Project Status: 16 of the 24 blocks completed.

Project:  Focus Through the Prism Project QUILTING Challenge

IMG_9217 Due Date: May 31st, June 30th, July 31st, August 31st, September 30th, October 31st, November 30th
Project Status: May challenge, Monkey Wrench, is complete, just need to photograph and blog

Project:  Riley Blake Modern Quilt Guild

Project Status: 3 and 3/4’s blocks complete.  Not 100% sure on where to go next.

Project:  Hoffman Fabric Challenge

IMG_9221 Due Date: Friday, July 17th
Project Status: I have the fabric I need.

Project:  Charms and Cherrywood Challenge

IMG_9226 Due Date: November 1st
Project Status: I have the fabrics and the templates required for the challenge.  Now I need to figure out the rest.

Project:  Be Creative! Quilt Challenge

IMG_9231 Due Date: November 1st, 2015
Project Status: I have my fabrics

Project:  The Bale Identity for Mill House Quilts

IMG_9236 Due Date: August 15th
Project Status: I have my bale purchased and I’m signed up for the challenge.  That is all. So … as you can see … I have a bit of work to do in the next few months.  But – I love a challenge and I love what inspiration comes out of me from these challenges!  I’ll keep you posted on how things go!

    Wow! That's a lot of challenges, but if anyone can do it, you can! And are you still doing the Aurifil mini each month too? I'd never be able to do what you are doing, but I sure enjoy reading your posts about your work, and seeing the delightful results!

    You are not alone. Last month, I blogged about being Challenged by Challenges. There are so many great challenge ideas out there, I am surprised that I am ever able to say no. Luckily for me, some of the deadlines for my challenges have been pushed and it looks like I might be able to get it all done (she typed ever so optimistically.)
