Goals for the Month

One easy goal I hope to accomplish this month is to make 9 pillow cases with fabric from my friend Sheryll which she will then donate to a charity she knows. The fabric is part of her mother's stash which she is trying to whittle down. Each of us Frankfort Gals took a stack to help Sheryll in this endeavor.

Sheryll had stacked the fabrics by color, so I took all the greens. Hey, it is March, after all!! Inside each of these is a complimentary fabric for use as the cuff of the pillow case.

Another thing I did was dig out the BH&G New Year's Resolution list that I printed off in early January. I see that making these pillow cases will suffice for item #2 - donate a pillowcase to charity. I have circled it, and will check it off when I have delivered the finished goods back to Sheryll.

Scanning down the list, you see that I have also circled item #20 - take picture/journal about each quilt I make. I do this through the blog, here, and also pretty faithfully on Instagram, so I could go ahead and check it off, too.

Turning the list over and checking items 26-50, I have circled a few more items. One is that #39 which is nearly the same as #20 in my case. Post a photo on social media. I have done this several times already this year, so I will be checking this off. I am sort of a regular on social media.

Item # 40 is to learn a new embroidery stitch. I need to learn something called a colonial knot; once I have learned it, I can check this one off! I definitely need to learn it, too, because that is all that is standing between me and a finish on that sweet little embroidery project I have been working on. (Scroll back a few posts to see it.)

Item 44 is to finish a UFO - I can check this off! I did that with the Double 9-Patch quilts I made late last month. What a great feeling to have that done at long last.

Coming up on Friday, we Frankfort Girls will take care of item #46 - take part in a block exchange - we will have our 9-patch blocks with us and our exchange will take place when we meet at Sharon's! I am excited, as I will use my new blocks to finish off that quilt I made several weeks ago that ended up being too short for the bed. The pic below shows my half-quilt. Those exchange blocks are going to be put to use straight away in this little gem.

Will this be all I accomplish this month? I surely hope not! I do believe I have time for a few additional projects. We shall see how I do. Come on back tomorrow as I hope to give you an update on my churn dash quilt. I made a lot of progress on it today! Yay!

Happy Quilting, Friends!
