My OMG goal for August is to quilt Hampton Ridge.
==> I pressed the top; cut and pressed the back. I still need to piece the back together and cut the batting. I’m hoping to spend some quality time with this this weekend.
#1 – Get 6 quilts done in 2016
Quilt #1 – Tell It To The Stars – finished 2/20/2016
Quilt #2 – Scrapitude,2015 – ==> finished 4/3/2016
Quilt #3 – Moon Glow – finished 7/30/2016
Quilt #4 – Hampton Ridge –
==> I pressed the top; cut and pressed the back. I still need to piece the back together and cut the batting. I’m hoping to spend some quality time with this this weekend.
Quilt #5 – Raining Cats and Dogs – top was finished on 4/9/2016. Now that I’m done with Moon Glow! 🙂 I plan to hand quilt a bit of this every day. I’m still working on the cream colored quilting thread.
Quilt #6 – Celtic Solstice – continue to piece bits as leaders/enders.
==> this is being worked on a bit at a time. Although I’m mixing in Missing Ivy’s borders in the leaders/enders to get them done.
Quilt #7 – Missing Ivy – finish step 14
==> working on these. I ran out of white on white so I got a bit more while at the LQS. I’ll need to cut again before I can get this step finished up.
Quilt #8 – LQS 2012 BOM “Provence” – Continue working on the alternative block.
==> haven’t touched this yet.
#2 – Continue to count my stash, with a true effort to not add fabric on a whim.
==> went to my guild sale and this went out the wayside. I haven’t counted it all but I’m sure I’m way in the red. I’ll need to get Hampton Ridge finished quickly to get back in the black.
#3 – Create a hobby budget a stick to it!
My budget for the year was $3,000 and I surpassed it. I’ve adjusted this goal to simply continue tracking how much I spend on my hobbies.
==> Current crafty spending for 2016 as of 7/30/2016 is $3735.08
#4 – Knit weekly
My goal for August is to get back to working on my purple socks each week. I really need to work on this more than one weekend each month if I want these done in any sort of time frame. I’ll change my goal so that I work on this once a week. I just realized that I still have to do the other sock. ;0
#5 – Cross Stitch weekly
Now that the Welcome Project is done, I’m solely working on Mama’s Bukid. I’m working on this a bit at a time and I’m happy with my progress so we’ll continue doing that.
#6 – Scrapbook
… I’m still the same on this… I want to do some scrapbooking but everything is so nicely put away I’m afraid to take anything out. I know that all I need is one box and that I’ll use whatever is in that box but … I’m not ready to move this into a place where I can actually work on it regularly.
Here’s a link to my original 2016 Goals.
Here’s to a great year!

What a beautiful quilt! That sawtooth border would probably do me in, but it really adds something to the quilt!
Thanks Wendy! 🙂
You have come a long way with finishes this year. The list you have going onward is so different from your first one!
Thanks Susan! I’m trying… it’s hard to resist those BOMs!
