One day back in February, I had a burst of energy and started a new quilt.
I pulled out scraps – because I am determined to deal with my scrap problem – and started cutting and stitching with no plan in mind. I used blue and green scraps with beige and tan pieces. I added a bit of orange just because.
In one day, I made a mini quilt top.
And then the little top hung on my design wall for a week, then two weeks and now more than a month while life has whizzed on.
I think it’s time to get this little quilt done.
So, I’m setting this quilt as my April goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes. I’ve noticed that setting a public goal spurs me to action in a way that the to-do lists I write in my notebook rarely do. There is something about letting the whole world know what I want to accomplish that helps me get it done.
What about you? What works to help you meet your quilting/sewing goals?

TIME.
avoiding distractions like: household duties.
I cannot sew at my parents place. I could, but it would just be impossible.
I usually have 6 projects going, so I try to make priorities important
Happy Easter Happy Spring, Nicole
Sometimes things just need to wait their turn for creative genius to come…. I like looking at some WIPs on my design wall for a while. 🙂 I find that public goals help keep me on track. I'm really enjoying ALYOF. I also keep a list of WIPS that I only update once a year. I love crossing things off that list, but I try not to let it take away from the joy of making stuff!
Last thing I did last night was text my SIL to ask her to let me be accountable to her. I have a memorial mini quilt that needs to get made. I have procrastinated beyond belief. I just need to do it because I want to create so many more things. So today I promised to have a sketch with measurements laid out. Anything is possible when I reach out and ask for help.
