Taking Stock And Planning Ahead For 2025 from The Quilt Yarn

I have been working on my background filler project

Finished a couple of sections and then I got a stye in my upper eyelid...inside of all places. So painful and obviously put a stop to freemotionquilting for the last week. My eye was so swollen I had to go to the doctor to get some antibiotics.

Managed to do a few little things though after a few days...not sure whether I mentioned it before, but I joined Lisa Calle's Quilter's Groove Design Society. It is very affordable and there is a bucketload of things to explore ...

#2024 Quilting Q2 and Q3 Check-In from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome. I missed the second quarter (Q2) check-in but since I found writing up a first quarter (Q1) check-in post so useful, I'm going to put both Q2 and Q3 here. I hope that you'll indulge me - it is a long post.

Second Quarter Check-in


April, May and June

Although I worked on a few larger projects, most of my finishes in the second quarter were smaller pieces.

Spring Tulips was an ambitious 3D art piece. The background was quilted while the vase and tulips in the vase were created with Solvy water soluble stabilizer. You ...

First Quarter Check-in from Quilting & Learning

Hi, I was catching up on my blog reading when I found Yvonne's Quilting Jetgirl's First Quarter Check in party and post. It's been such a whirlwind of activity here that I thought that it would be nice to actually see what I said that I would do, and what actually happened so far! Thanks Yvonne!

January to March 2024


Quilts

In my Quilts section, I got distracted and chased a squirrel! I ended up not participating in this year's SAHRR (Stay At Home Round Robin) but instead signed up for Joanne's at Canuck Quilting ...

Getting Ready for a Solo Show from Factotum of Arts

My artist in residence with the Durham Art Guild is nearing an end, and with that is my solo show. The artist in residence is approximately 6 months in length. The show should be new work that you’ve made during the show. There’s a lot to do to fill the space for the show, and a lot of background activities. So here’s my list below.

Space Planning

  • Make sure with the event space what insurance is with the space and what additional insurance you may need.
  • Think about a contract with the event space so it is ...

I knew it had been a while since I posted on this blog, but I was flabbergasted to realize it had been more than 2 years! I have been sewing, but have not been blogging about it. In the new year I am going to try (I know, there is no try, only do) to get back in the habit of posting about my sewing and crafting.

Specifically, I am setting these goals:
  • To post a one-monthly-goal the first week of each month and a followup post the last week of each month on how ...

Planning for 2023 from Quilting & Learning

Thank you Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl for hosting this great linking party again this year. Hopefully it will help keep me focused.

Last year I minimized my plans for 2022. Of course it didn't all get done but that's ok because that's what planning is all about. For 2023, I'm keeping it as simple and general as possible.

My intention for 2023: learn by playing, with mindfulness and contentment

Quilts

This category is more specific because of my promises to get these projects done. I'm very hopeful of completing these and they'll provide great ...

Bee in my Bonnet Planner - 2022 into 2023!! from Bee In My Bonnet

 



Are you a planner?
I have been a planner girl my entire life:)
Before there were publications
 specifically dedicated to "planning"
I was what you 
might have called a "lister" 

I used many things but mostly just 
a regular school notebook to write 
lists about everything 
that I was going to do...
everything I wanted to do and
 everything that I needed to do.

My favorite thing was to
 check them off my list when completed!

It made me happy and feel good
 and like I was accomplishing goals 
and learning and growing.


I still do the same thing today ...

2022 Planning Party with Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to Free Motion Mavericks. Since I'm running behind on absolutely everything, I thought that I would take advantage of this post to also participate in Quilting Jetgirl's very popular and fun Planning Party! 

2021 - A very long year

2021 was the year of Slow Stitching and "Calm" was my word of choice. 

Keep Calm & Stitch

To get ready for this post, I re-read last year's planning post. I'm afraid that almost none of my priorities, which were to quilt my son's quilt and work on my daughter's, happened. I did have a productive ...

2021 Plans and Goals from Dizzy Quilts

If you've been following my blog for any length of time, you know that I'm a huge fan of planning. I love making lists, making plans, tracking my progress... So at the start of every year, I write down my goals and my plans for the upcoming 12 months and then toward the end of the year, I look back and celebrate my successes. I already blogged about my review of 2020 here so now it's time to look forward and start planning 2021.

Looking Back and Moving Forward from Professional Quilter

The end of the year is often filled with planning activities. For many creative people, though, the thought of planning is beyond boring.

It can be black and white — after all, it does involve looking at numbers. When you get right down to it, though, getting your big dreams and goals down on paper and figuring out how to accomplish them is creative. Especially when you get out those colored markers and pencils!

For more than ten years, I have hosted an annual Planning Day. We always start with looking back.

Instead of jumping into what next year looks like ...

First time participating in the To-do-Tuesday Linky Party over at Home Sewn By Us. Have been wanting to do this for a few weeks but keep missing Tuesdays all the time. Seems to come along too quickly.

She is releasing two videos per week and I need to be on the ball to keep up. This week I stitched 2 of the blocks, but have heaps more to go...need to finish the filling of the sashings and the borders ...
