Publicly announcing some goals helps to hold one accountable and possibly even some public shaming (in jest), but when you walk along side a group of quilters or friends, it is easier to accomplish said goals!
How did I do with 2018? Any shaming to be deserved???
✔Goal #1 - two commissioned baby quilts
✔Goal #2 - three t-shirt quilts (The goal was three, I actually made 4)
Momma loved it! 
The fourth quilt was a Harley Davidson quilt, that somehow managed to get out of the house without a final photo... 
✔Goal #4 - Farm Quilt ✔Goal #5 - Dresden/Tie quilt
✔Goal #6 - Ruler Class - I attended in February and have used my new skills, though not as much as I thought I would.
✔ Weekly Linky Parties & monthly Blog Hops;
✔ Continue Quilters Through The Generations series - I had 15 quilters stories, an average of more than one per month... however, I am in need of more quilters to be featured. You can email me at MelvaLovesScraps@NolanQualityCustoms.com if you are interested in documenting your family's story.
Accountability worked for me! No shaming needed. LOL!
Goals for 2019...
#1 - Assemble and complete the Sunbonnet Sue blocks that I got from Dave's aunt
#2 - Continue participating in weekly linky parties and monthly hops
#3 - Participate in two Block of the Month sew alongs...
One will be the 2019 Color Challenge hosted by Patterns By Jen
I am still looking for a second one... Suggestions???

I have enjoyed the sew alongs that I have participated in this year. I have been pushed to try new techniques and improve my skills. I even quit whining about all of the applique in the blocks in the It's A "Wild" Life BOM after four or five of them!
It doesn't mean that I am in love with applique, as some predicted may happen, but I don't even think twice about the technique now.
While my goal list may seem a little wimpy, I feel comfortable with them because the monthly hops will keep the creative juices going and plenty of opportunity for some No Guilt::Go Quilt days!
Happy New Quilt Year!

A group of quilters from 2017 New Quilters Blog Hop do a quilt in our facebook group Patterns in Design https://www.facebook.com/groups/778508018976389/ We have done two so far - this will be our third year. Not BOM but a relatively easy pace - every 2 weeks, beginning in March and ending in September. Think about it!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome to have accomplished all your goals for 2018. It's not wimpy to leave room for growth and inspiration in 2019. I hope you have a wonderful year ahead full of joy. Thank you for sharing and linking up with the Planning Party!
ReplyDeleteGreat jib accomplishing all of your goals in 2018. I always start the year out strong but veer off some time mid year. Thanks for sharing all your lovely projects with Oh Scrap!

Your 2018 goals were met beautifully. Good luck with your 2019 goals. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great set of goals to me. Best of luck on another year of meeting goals.
