Don't you just love fresh starts? A new year is like a Mulligan for another, well, another new year! I always feel disappointed when I ask someone if they have made any resolutions. They too often reply with a no.
I often do not meet my goals either but find it great motivation to list them and shoot for achievement. So listed are a few goals I have for my efforts with needle and thread.
These are my Top Fab Four goals for the first quarter in 2025. Reasonable goals I think that can surely be met. And I like narrowing these down to yearly quarters. I find it keeps me focused.
1. Hidden Log Cabin. This was a sew along with the online Stashbusters io group. This took place during the week between Christmas (Dec 25th) and New Years (Jan 1). The pattern was presented by Moonkin Stitchery on YouTube and is made using random strips, a jelly roll, or layer cake. I am presently working on this to get it to a flimsey stage so it is ready for my long-arm quilter. I am just a few hours (and seams) away!
2. T-Shirt Quilt. Oh yes, this is numero uno as it is for my darling grand daughter who is graduating in May. I must have this top completed at least by March so it can go to my long-arm quilter and be done Done by May. ♥ Yep, they are still in the bin but not for long! I have an idea in my head and anxious to get started.
3. Strip it Earth. Love this Garlic Knot type pattern all done in earth-tone solids. I am adding a few solids of my own to expand this quilt into a queen size top.
4. Jay Bird BOM with Olive Grace. I enjoy working on this in the evenings as it is hand embroidery. Once I catch up on that It will move up into getting pieced and quilted. Stay tuned. This one is a beauty!!
I "sew" miss the Finish-Alongs with SewCanShe. They were popular back in the early 2010s. And such great motivators and sources of inspiration! I think Linky parties have replaced them today. Am I wrong? Please let me know if you are aware of any.
Happy stitching!
