One Monthly Goal ~ June 2020

At the end of May I posted  Here

about these sunflower fabrics that have been in my stash

since 2007.

I have these three blocks from a BOM in 2008.

By the end of June I hope to have a quilty finish with these pretty fabrics. 

Linking up today with the

June OMG Goal Setting Post @ Elm Street Quilts

Wish me luck! 

OMG ~ May 2020 ~ Goal Complete

My May One Monthly Goal is Finished!  

I set this goal here in the

OMG May 2020 @ Elm Street Quilts

It started with this cross stitch work and these fabrics 

Here in my May OMG Post

and finished

 Here for my "Cool To Be Square Blog Hop" Post

I used an artist's canvas and my heavy duty stapler to display this finish.

More how-to photos in the link above.

Happily, I am linking up today with the

OMG May Finishing Party Link Up @ Elm Street Quilts

I am always very happy when I meet my monthly goal.

Time to think about my June OMG Goal.

I have many, many WIPs and UFOs.

Hmmmmm ... what shall I choose?

Time will tell ... :-) 

OMG ~ May Day!

In March, the stitching on my

 Quilty Love Cross Stitch Was Completed Here

But this is still a UFO.

It was started Started Here in January

and these fabrics were my inspiration.

These are also my intended finishing fabrics.

Time to "get 'er done!"

This is my 

OMG May Goal @ Elm Street Quilts

I enjoy setting a small finishing goal each month 

to reduce my UFO and WIP stack.

I am always happy when I get something done.

Do you set monthly goals?

OMG ~ My April Goal is Done!

Bind This Quilt ~ OMG April 2020

Note to Self: Time to Bind this Quilt

My Blueberry Fat 8th Fruitcake Top

was finished in 2018.

The Quilting Completed Here in June of 2019.

For awhile I did not have the right binding fabric.

So it slid toward the bottom of my to-do pile.

I found the green barbed wire fabric on sale awhile back.

No more excuses.

Time to bind this quilt!

Binding this quilt is my

One Monthly Goal for January ~ Completed

My January OMG is completed!

This goal oriented event is hosted monthly by

Patty @ Elm Street Quilts

I started this project with this blank cloth and new thread spool

and posted this as 

My January 2020 OMG Goal

These were my first Sashiko Stitches. 

I combined this goal with my Winter Blues Blog Hop project

which was to learn something new for this first month of the New Year.

I enjoyed this new journey very much and decided

to honor my first Sashiko stitches
by framing it in fabric and a simple white frame.
The small vase was a refrigerator magnet gift from one of my sons
and it seemed the perfect touch.

I am happy to have completed this simple goal and am linking up with

all the bloggers at the

OMG Finishing Linky Party ~ January 2020

Sew many wonderful goals completed in the links!

I hope to join this party again next month. 

OMG ~ Something New to Meet the Winter Blues 2020

Something old that will be new (for me) for the New Year.

I have decided to participate in the 

One Monthly Goal Challenge @ Elm Street Quilts

A few years back I used to participate in this regularly on another site.

My track record in recent years has not been too successful.

So I will make a January goal and see how it goes.

I am also participating in the 

Winter Blues Blog Hop @ Creatin' in the Sticks

I am combining efforts here. 

My January Goal is to beat the Winter Blues by stitching something new and blue.

It just may have something to do with this piece of dark blue fabric.

Wish Me Luck.

Are you setting monthly goals for 2020?

If sew, maybe you would enjoy participating with the fun

OMG January 2020 Linky Party ~ Goal Setting

Many, many inspiring projects in the works.

Hope to see you joining us.  

One Monthly Goal ~ January

I am joining in the

One Monthly Goal Linky Party

hosted by

Elm Street Quilts

My January goal is ...

... to complete all the cross stitching on my 

Vintage Christmas Sampler started HERE

Too often I put aside a holiday or seasonal project once the day and time has passed.

I am back in my sewing room which was Christmas Planning Central

for a month and my machine is uncovered 

and I have projects to sew.

I need to take a few minutes a day and get this cross stitch done this month.

I do enjoy sitting and slow stitching.

This is a good goal.

Wish me luck!

I used to have quilty list for myself each month.

and I have let it slide the last year or so,

I am thinking I need to revise my monthly list.

Not to stress myself out.

Just to organize myself.

I need to keep it simple so I can cross things off

and feel accomplished.

Do you set monthly goals?
