Quilty Goals – March, 2014

I only had two items on my list last month and I didn’t get it done.

1. my hand quilt –

and 2. quilting easy street

Easy Street Completed Quilt Top! with borders

The hand quilt needs a final quilt stitch along the final border and then all I need to do is bind it and a label :).  I think I just need another two to three hours of sitting in front of the TV to finish it. Easy Street is being machine quilted and that will take several hours quilting on my domestic.  These are the same items on my 1st Quarter FAL list and with only one month left I better get myself together to finish them.

I will keep these on my March goals but will add a few more.  Just like February, we continue to be knee deep in cheer competitions.  There is one next weekend in San Jose, then we’ve got cheer picture day the following weekend, and then another cheer competition in Anaheim that next weekend.  So I need to continue to keep my list short. However I have other things on my list:

  1. continue to stay on track with Tell It To The Stars, Moon Glow, and Hampton Ridge – I’m all caught up with these three BOMs so that is really cool and exciting!  I want to make sure to stay on schedule with them.
  2. A Rainbow Garden – I’m now on Block 4 (finally!).  I just finished block 3 yesterday so I need to get this one going from a-z.

The LONG LIST also called my WISH List

PRIORITIES –
Quilting Station – Easy Street
Piecing Station – The BOMs
Hand Station – Rainbow Garden

Get It Done – February, 2014

I realized that I haven’t done a Get It Done post since 12/1/2013.  I looked on Judy’s site and didn’t see that she did one for January either.  I do not know if she has decided not to do it anymore or forgot with the holidays and other stuff coming up on her blog.  But I really enjoyed doing them – it helped me to focus on what 4 things I really wanted to get done each month (along with some things I’d like to get done).  Some months I was able to get things done other months I didn’t but I always felt like I was moving in the right direction.  So whether Judy continues to do the “Get It Done” posts or not… I think I’ll continue to as I found it really helpful to stay on track.

So for February, I’m only listing two items this month.  The girl has 2 cheer competitions this month and 1 Saturday practice which means that I’m away from quilting for 3 Saturdays.  Then we’re off to Vegas the 4th Saturday to celebrate my hubby’s birthday!  It’s a big one but he doesn’t want to think about it yet.  So I’m keeping my list short this month!

  1. Continue with my hand quilt – This one is really almost done!  Really!
  2. Finish Quilting Easy Street
