I’ve not been able to do much day to day. Work and family duties have overtaken my life. I’ve also been attacked by the case of melancholia. So when I do have some time I choose not to do anything but lay around and contemplate all the things I have to do.
#1 – Quilt something
Last month I got all my backs prepped and this month my goal is to get all the batting prepped.
Update – I’ve not done anything
#2. Alaska – I posted about this project here and here and here and here and here. This month my plan is to start putting the top together.
– I actually have gotten a lot done and posted about all the blocks I’ve finished then last few months. I’m very close to a finished top on this one.
#3- Door banners – I have another banner finished (not quilted) and posted about it previously.
I’m waiting on the next kit. There’s a bit of a delay for that one but I’ve got 2 kits that I can do if I have a mind to do them.
—————- everything below this line has basically not been worked on for awhile and I keep this on the list so I don’t forget. But it’s not something I pull out on a daily. I’m thinking of doing something a little different going forward because I want these monthly goals to be relevant. Otherwise I tend not to look at them. Hopefully I figure something out soon…
3 – Mountain Mist – continue working on this
Still working on block 2
#4 – Ornaments – all of these have been blanket stitched and are ready for the next step…
The next step is to embroider decorative stitches around. I need to go through my book of stitches and pull out some fancy thread and play with the various ones. Then pick what I like. This takes thought and having all my options with me so it feels a bit more involved than what I’m able to do right now.
#5-Raining Cats and Dogs- this is an old hand quilting project that I set aside. I am adding this on this list to remember it and figure out how to get this done. Ideally It’s one of those projects I spend a little time on each day but I have a lot of those now and so need to think about my game plan.
#6- sashiko… I have all those sashiko things I bought last year and I want to play with these one day.
#7-Kimberbell – machine embroidery. I picked this up again as I was trying to make space to walk in my sewing room.
Happy quilting!
