Goals for 2015

Kerry (who blogs at blog.pennydog.com) has posted her sewing goals for 2015 and is hosting a linky party, so here are my five goals/plans for 2015.


1. Make a quilt for my husband
We've decided on the Star Plus pattern, and, if I swap some smaller blocks for a larger block, I've got all the fabric. There was no reason not to start this straightaway but then goal 2 came along...


2. Make a quilt for a new great nephew
I found out that another great nephew will be making an appearance in January, so I might have to get this Nautical quilt made for him before starting goal 1.

 

3. Start something from the Millefiori quilt book
I've done a lot of EPP with hexies this year, so maybe it is time to try some different shapes.


4. Try some free motion quilting
My quilts so far have all been quilted with a walking foot, though I have added spirals to my straight line options. Perhaps 2015 will be the year I put the FMQ foot onto my machine and manage to make my attempts at feathers look less like cabbages that have gone to seed.



5. Restart my fabric fast
I've recently broke my fabric fast big style, but I will be restarting it again in January (note, I've not said January 1st - I might need to look at some sales and purchases of Liberty lawn will still be allowed).


It will be interesting to check back in a year's time and see how I did.

  2. You are rather ambitious! but I applaud your goals, and hope you do achieve them!

    And you are rather organised... I am slightly jealous of that bit, I just make it all up as I go along...
