It's almost spring! and this week's goals

I was in Tennessee last week with my sister and her two kids to visit our mom. It was nice weather for a couple of the days and cool the rest. We came home Saturday and the weather was beautiful all day, even at home! I will post more about this with pictures later.

I haven't done much of anything on my to do list since LAST WEEK. There are 3 quilt tops I would like to finish this week and that will be my goal. I am famous for getting the center of a quilt done and then get stopped at the borders....I hate sewing borders on!

1. Jessica's log cabin still needs borders
2. Bethany's quilt still needs borders (graduation gift) DONE
   
3. Bears in the Farm house step 5

This is all do able since I have 4 good days left for the week and none of these will take me more than a couple hours to do. Next week...QUILTING!

Finishes and Goals

I have a lot I want to accomplish in the new year. I am NOT calling it "new year's resolutions" because history shows that doesn't work for me. Blogging seems to work better for me. My plan for 2009 is to get at least one UFO FINISHED and one quilt top PIECED every month. I have at least 4 NEW quilts to make this year. I am hoping to get 10 UFO's completed as well. As I am still laid off I have time to get a lot done. I am hoping I will be back to work within a couple months. Otherwise, things will be changing drastically around here. I don't want to even think that will happen so I keep hoping and looking and networking and praying. In the mean time, I want to get lots done! This is the year I want to make most of my Christmas gifts. This is an aggressive list of goals for the first 6 months.
