I find I get more done when I make a list. Last year I determined I wanted to finish 4 quilts I had been working on the last couple years. Finished 3 out of 4. This year I plan to finish the 4th quilt and make 2 more quilts. I also try to make at least 2 charity quilts a month for the group I belong too. For me, planning is the name of the game!!

I am working on goals as well. I am almost done with all of my scraps to make log cabin lap quilts for a retirement home. I have 2 completed - (boy, quilting them is hard on my machine.) 3 more to to quilt. I have an appliqued' spring table runner to and a Hunter's Star table topper to finish, and an oriental bedspread (that I started a few years ago) to work on. THEN, it is to make those quilts that are on my TO DO list. We all have several of those! Happy New Year!

My New Year's goal is to finally finish something for ME. In addition, I have two baby quilts to quilt, a twin quilt to start for my DGS (Turtle Travelers which is heavily appliqued - by machine) and a full sized dinosaur quilt (also appliqued) for my other DGS by Christmas 2015. All should be fun to work on. Naturally, I just ordered enough material to make a darling baby quilt to have on hand, LOL. I NEVER run out of projects to work on or ideas for more. Sound familiar quilters?????

The quilt with my highest priority is making a reunion quilt for our bi-annual family quilt for the July 4th reunion. Then my DS and DDL have requested that I make them a purple king size quilt for their bed, possibly a Dresden Plate Quilt. I'm contemplating replacement shoulder surgery sometime soon, so the sooner I get things done, the better I will feel. I will also work on items for a holiday fair, possibly in Nov., so I'm hoping I can do it a little at a time so that I won't be panicking at the end.

I think it is time to write things down. I am planning to work on quilts for my nieces and nephews. I just signed up for a machine quilting class to help me reach this goal.
My son and aniece just both got engaged in the last two months. I would love to make them both bed size quilts. So I guess I better get busy. Good thing I am retiring in June.
