Goals for the Year

 I am at an age that I need to set some goals I think, no more just blindly going along, if I document it here I have to be accountable.

Sewing Goals

Bind and quilt 1 quilt a month-I have enough of them and more coming.

Do some garment sewing- at least 1 every 2 months.

Sew at least 30 minutes a day.

Join in with So Scrappy for the monthly Rainbow scrap challenge, making at least 2 blocks a month.

Do some hand stitching weekly.

Life Goals

I have copied this from Janice 

Read a book a month and review it here.

Listen to a book a month as well.

Try a new recipe a month.

Have a fun day out. I like this idea, I'm thinking like a holiday in our backyard.

I spent the morning drawing circles for my grandbabies I spy quilt, then I went through the cupboard and I have a few sewing things that I will take to Scrub Stitchin to pass on to someone who might want them, a few old kits and patterns that were started about 25 years ago, I have too much stuff.

Happy New Year 2026

 Well I have made my first trip to Bunnings and Spotlight for the year! I am trying No Buy January so I think I need to go on American time and cancel today. I got fabric for backings at Spotty so that doesn't really count, 15 metres @$4 per metre.

I got 7 metres in an aqua spot and 8 metres in a cute bright animal print. Also .5 metre drill to mend Daves work pants so that surely doesn't count as it is necessary.

Thanks to Deana for organising this again. This year I am going to finish some things no new starts on my list, that doesn't mean I won't start something new just my list needs to be finished

1/ Blue Baskets, I started doing needleturn but now I am going to do it my machine or it will never get finished.

2/Farmers wife, I think I have about 20 blocks done maybe more, all done FPP.

3/Frivols Quilt , I have 1 block done and need 3 more.

 

4/ Dwell Quilt, all the blocks are done they just need to be assmbled into a flimsy.

5/ Swoon Quilt, All the blocks are done I need to decide if I want sashing or not.

6/ Message in a bottle, this was a BOM from several years ago.

7/ Blue Triangle Quilt. this was given to me to finish, I had it laid out on the bed and was deciding what to do next and we had visitors so it had to get folded up.

8/ Anni Downs Christmas tree, from Memory it is a wall hanging.

9/ Dresden Block quilt, all the dresdens are made backing and sahing need to be cut.
