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? Wendy |

Quilting Goals for 2007
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 ..

Quilting Goals for 2007
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.

Quilting Goals for 2007
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! Dannielle |

Quilting Goals for 2007
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.

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 Patti wrote: I'm more than delighted to say that this year I have virtually no specific goals.

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 Sunny |
