Charming Girls Goals Update!

It’s only been a week or so since I updated, but I’ve made some changes to my goals for Sept/Oct.   I had great intentions – but life has gotten in the way a bit so far this month and I think an important accomplishment is being able to reprioritize and  make adjustments to your plan when needed.  So my biggest accomplishment in the last 2 weeks is changing my mind! :-)

So here goes:

1) Go to a couple of football games with my Mississippi family. STATUS: We’ve been to one game so far!

2) Make 15 of my Christmas cards.

3) Quilt and Bind the baby quilt I started.

4) Cut and sew my “Awesome” quilt top  STATUS:  CANCELLED -  I’ve changed my mind and decided to do a different project after the first of the year.

5) Sew the “Origins” project. STATUS: COMPLETED (well, except for 1 little peice of velcro, but that doesn’t count right?)

6) Bind “Wrapped in Paisley” quilt. STATUS: Completed and Delivered.

7) Catch up on my scrapbooking.

8.) Start the Georgia quilt if I have time.

9) Pick fabric and make my kitchen project.  STATUS:  Cancelled.  I can’t find fabric I like, so I’m postponing this one till next year as well.

10) Go to the Theater with my Dalton Family.  STATUS:  Unfortunately, I had a friend pass away the week we were going to the theater, so I went to a funeral instead of a play.

11) Go see my Grandma in NC. STATUS: We had a wonderful visit with my Grandma! It was so nice to see her again.

12) Spend some time with the girls.  STATUS:   Planned and Pending -  we’re going to some of the wineries in North Georgia.  Should be a great time.

13) NEW – Bind the Verna quilt I just got back from the long arm quilter.  STATUS:  It’s pinned and ready for handsewing!

Charm Pack Quilt Along Quilt Top

I recently finished my first Quilt Along,  hosted by Frecked Whimsy. I was so excited to actually participate and keep up!   The quilt top is all done, all it needs now is to go to the long arm.  I’m so pleased with how this turned out.  I can’t wait to make this block again.

The fabric was 12 days of Christmas by Kate Spain.   I think it’s cool that even in person it’s not so obvious that it’s a Christmas quilt.  I think you could get away with using it year round.
