2017 Recap & 2018 Goals

Now that I've had a bit of time to think about what I want to do for my 2018 goals and took a good look around my sewing space, I've decided to call this year focus on WIPs! Years ago when I joined up for the Library Project, I would always start and finish one quilt before starting another project. This was back in 2014.....years later, I have way too many WIPs.

I feel like I didn't accomplish many finishes in 2017 which makes me a bit sad.

Here are my finishes for 2017:

Nighttime Blossoms

Donated to my hometown Relay for Life event.

Triangle Baby Quilt

 This one went to a good friend's adopted baby.

Snowtracks

 This lovely went to my Goddaughter in Manitoba.

Zen Chic's You & Me

This enormous quilt went to a best friend for her wedding gift. 

And then another finish that I can't post about yet. 

I have been sewing a bit but some times there are other things that need to take priority in life. This year, I would like to finish those WIPs that are hanging around my workspace. 

Here is my goals list for 2018:

  1. Dressed to the Nines Quilt - Quilt top was completed years ago. To finish it needs be basted, quilted and binding put on.
  2. X Marks the Spot Quilt - To finish it needs to be basted, quilted and binding put on.
  3. Twilight in the Garden Quilt - To finish it needs to be basted, quilted and binding put on.
  4. Blueberry Ice Quilt - To finish it needs the outer border, basted, quilted and binding put on.
  5. PEI MQG Mystery QA - Complete clues every month.
  6. Quilting is my Therapy BAQ - Complete test block and block every month.
  7. Tula's Block Sampler - Complete all 100 blocks using scraps.
  8. Modern Sampler Quilt - Quilt along with my sister. Fabrics are cut and ready to be pieced.
  9. Tokyo Subway Quilt - Most 2-1/2" print squares are done (Thanks to the Birthday Bonus Club). 
  10. Maple Leaf Quilt -  To finish it needs be basted, quilted and binding put on.
  11. Whispering Lake Scrappy Quilt - To finish it needs be basted, quilted and binding put on.
  12. Unraveled Quilt - Will be using up scraps from my bins. 
  13. Everlasting Love Quilt - Will be using blue scraps for this one. Background fabric purchased. 
Whew! I know this list seems long but a lot of these are quilt tops that need to be finished. And I figure I will need to make a baby quilt or two through the year. There always seems to be at least one baby that needs a quilt every year :) 
So have you made a 2018 goals list? I'd love to hear about it.

  1. Your quilts are so beautiful...each one so stunning! To me, this looks like an amazing accomplishment, since each quilt is beautiful but also special because of the recipient!

  2. Beautiful finishes. More than I was able to accomplish this year. I am planning on finishing WIP's this year also but already have 2baby quilts that have been requested and one queen size for a friend. Here's hoping I get a few WIP's completed along the way.
