  This is my fourth year setting quilting goals, and I'm pleased to say that this approach has worked out well.  Goal setting helps me stay on track and continue moving forward with using my stash.  Although I did not meet all my 2024 goals, I was able to finish a whopping 77 quilting projects.  Let's see how I did with my goals: Indigo Way Mystery 2024   -  DONE Folk Art Christmas Stars   -  DONE Whatnots Club Close Quarters   -  DONE Valentine Scrappy Hearts Runner Jacob's Sampler #2   -  DONE Free To Be Wild Horse Panel   -  DONE Grid Girls Summer Mystery   -  DONE Checkmate Chess Panel (2) California Dreamin' Quilt - Top completed California Los Angeles Quilt - Top completed Aunt Netra's Floral Garden Along the Fence   -  DONE Black & White Night & Day   -  DONE Boot Scootin' Boogie   -  DONE Scrappity-do-dah 6" - Top completed Charming Stars Red - Top completed ...

Happy New Year!  A new year is a new opportunity for setting goals and resolutions. “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars”. For the past two years, I have made quilting goals and I'm happy to say this has worked out great.  So great, in fact, that I completed 40 quilty projects in 2022.  Let's see how I did with my 2022 Goals ...

  This is a top for a quilt I'm making for DS#2 as a gift for his graduation from the UCLA paramedic program next month. I bought the fabrics last year, and all the prints are related to emergency medical services. I searched the Internet and Pinterest for ideas and found this quilt as inspiration. I didn't have a pattern so I just winged it and came up with these 2 blocks. My floor became my design "wall" and I created blocks as I went along.  Sort of like putting a puzzle together. I'm very happy with the end result and am excited to get it finished. I'm happy to join these linky parties.  Be sure to visit them to see what other quilters are sharing.

It's been a long time since I've made personal resolutions for a new year, simply because I would forget about them by the time February rolled around LOL!  But I would like to start this year with a list of quilty projects I resolve to do this year.  I think I'm more likely not to forget these! I apologize for the lengthy post as I do have an ambitious list!  So without further ado ...
