My Goals for August

I know that I won’t have a lot of stitching time during August, so will keep my goals relatively simple.

ONE MONTHLY GOAL

Now that I have completed the centre block of my Blue Quilt, I want to keep up the momentum, while keeping my goal achievable.  

I’ve been playing around with fabrics for the borders, keeping in mind that I only want to use fabrics from my stash.  

I think that this will do.

My plan is to add the first border and then appliqué the hearts in the corners.  Then I will glue baste the hexy flowers to the second border.  That is the sum total of my goal.  However, I do wish to make good progress on appliquéing down the hexies, but that is a bonus, and just maybe, prep another border.  We’ll see.

RAINBOW SCRAP CHALLENGE

The colour this month is yellow, so I will make my black and white blocks and the split nine patch blocks.  That won’t take too long.

15 MINUTES A DAY

Although I know there will be limited stitching time, I do hope that I can maintain my 15 minutes each day.  To that end, I need something that I can pick up, do a little, and then put away.  Any progress is good progress, as far as I am concerned.  As I previously said, 30 days at 15 minutes a day is seven and a half hours of stitching.

KNITTING OR CROCHET

I have nothing on the go at the moment…….but so many possibilities.  I need to make a decision, and then make a start.

LAUNDRY BASKET MYSTERY QUILT

This will have a little holiday during August.  I hope to get back to it in the next couple of months.

HAND WORK

I have my  new Sashiko project, as well as the hexies to be stitched down for the Blue Quilt.  I may find something else as well.

WORK ON A DONATION PROJECT

This is also having a little break and I will get back to it before too long.

USE MONIQUE

You guessed it, not happening in August.

LEADER AND ENDER

Ditto….

Now to the non stitching goals.

I hope I can manage these goals.  They should be achievable.  

I am really looking forward to this month and what we will be getting up to.
