2014 Sewing Goals...

I've been hesitating to put my "goals" out in the world. While many people feel that putting their goals out there will make them stick to them, I am more of the mindset that once they are out there I feel too much pressure (self-inflicted) to complete them and don't do it. Or... I wasn't going to do them regardless and then I just feel guilty about not doing them.

But. I keep thinking about them and need to mentally organize them so here we go.

Completion Goals
-Woodland Baby Quilt
-Hexagon Baby Quilt for my cousin
-Confused Flying Geese Quilt
-Lucky Stars BOM Club 2013 and 2013 and turn into a quilt
-Sugar Block BOM Club squares (final product TBD)
-On to the go Project Bag for embroidery and small quilting projects
-2 or 3 Project Linus Quilts
-Start Maple Leaf Rag quilt

Technical Goals
-Work on exact sewing and points
-Try dyeing and batik
-Improve hand quilting

January - March Goals
-Keep up with 3 BOM Club blocks
-Hexagon Quilt
-3 quadrants of Flying Geese Quilt
-Create enough scrap panels for a dozen center diamonds for the Maple Leaf Rag
