Quilting Goals for 2007

Each year, I try to post a thread on quilting goals. Once I figured out
to put "goals" plus the year in the subject, finding the old posts was
much easier! I find it fun to go back and look at past goals, to see how
the year compared to them.

This thread is intended for quilty-type goals.

Apparently, last year's goal was to make 9-patches. Huh. Not a very
lofty goal, and yet... I didn't do it!

Ok, this year's goals:

-Get sewing room set up and finished (painted, design wall hung, stash
storage in same room, cutting table drawers fixed)

-Work on exercises/journal/mini-quilts, whatever you want to call them.
Just little pieces to get the creative juices flowing, and get back into
the groove of making.

-Teach a class or workshop.

There's mine. Where's yours?

I'm more than delighted to say that this year I have virtually no
specific goals. I'm just going to take things as they come. I'll be
working on four or five things - but with few, if any, deadlines (though
I will have to check the proofs promptly - but that's all!)
Sounds like a sabbatical, doesn't it? g

Here are mine:

Finish my Women of the Bible Quilt (top at least)

Work on my other sampler quilts: Civil War Diary Quilt, Sylvia's Bridal
Sampler, Dear Jane

Finish at least one UFO per month.

Make all my cards.

Give hand-made gifts only (as much as possible)

Finish all BOMs I started in 2006 (I am currently debating if I allow
myself to start the new Debbie Mumm BOM).

I have cut out everything for butterfly stars, so goal one is to create that
beastie. I have also cut out everything for a quilt for my daughter, so
that is goal two. That one is easy though, so good for mindless, "I'm
avoiding papers" type of day lol. Its just a bunch of quares sewn
together. Goal three is to at least plan something for that asian stuff I
collected... and that christmas stuff lol. And if I find wayyy to many
many papers to avoid, I would love to make a srcappy star type quilt, maybe
out of the flannel plain (or is it brushed cotton) type of fabric for my
sister.

Carissa (avoiding papers as we speak lol)

Ok, I'll bite! My goals for 2007 a

1. Put the binding on the purple and green star swap quilt for my
daughter.
2. Finish the black/white/red swap quilt top for my son, possibly have
it quilted.
3. Finish the black/white/red tumbling block quilt for my niece or
nephew to be.
4. Quilt the penguin wallhanging for my mother.
5. Finish the blocks for the 2006-2007 BOM.
6. Finish the batik star top by finding just the right sashing,
backing and border fabrics.
7. Get the first quilt top I ever made quilted!
8. Do the Turning Twenty quilt top that I have the fabrics and pattern
for.
9. Figure out how to start a quilting class and teach it! (I'll take
help on this one!)

Ok, that's a lot of stuff already. And it doesn't even include all of
the charity quilts I'll be making with my ladies group, and the art
quilt I really want to make for my MIL.

Now that I have committed it to "paper" I guess I have a reason to
actually do it all!

Here are my goals for this year:
1. Finsh Granddaughter's quilt
2. Finish Grandson's quilt
3. Make daughter & son-in-laws wall hanging
4. Finish my Welcome wallhanging - including the snowman part that can be
buttoned on
5. Finish 3 Spanish Crosses wallhanging - crosses are done in redwork -
that part is finished, just needs border, sashing, etc.

The first 2 I hope to have done within the next month. They are cheater
panels, but they have turned out to be major problems. Of course the fact
that I am tired of fooling with them has nothing to do with it. Right now,
I just want them finished.

My goal for 2007 is to complete the quilt for my bed. So far I've finished
the blocks, now I must put it together and to hand quilt it this year!!! If
I get all this done, everything else is just gravy ;-)

So, Pat, your goals are to enjoy the
HOBBY of quilting, relax, and to rest on
your well earned laurels? Sounds like a
good plan to me! PAT

Ok here goes:
1. Finish my son's fleece quilt
2. Make a gift for my son's school counselor -- who has gone so many
extra miles for my ungrateful kid that she deserves more than just a
quilt
3. Make one "Something" that I can enter in my guild's fall quilt show
without embarrassment
