Did I Meet My Quilting Goals? Let's See!

 Did I make progress on my January 1, 2025 goals List this year?  Well a little bit. 

Let's take a lookie! 👀

On January 1st , I posted four quilts that I wanted to make progress on . 

JANUARY 1st 2025 GOAL # 1

🧵1. Flaming Butterflies- It is my focus quilt for 2025. I want to have it finished this year.

SO HOW DID I DO?

⭐ Yeehaw! I get a golden star for I completed this goal. This quilt was made up of scrappy thrifted butterflies that I appliqued while in AZ. It is in memory of my sister. 

My heart was all "a flutter" when I completed Flaming Butterflies this year. 🦋🦋🦋🦋

Even Blackie approved of my finish. 

Blackie says Hi!

JANUARY 1st Goal #2

🧵2.  The Easter Quilt. Do you remember that one? I did not mention it in 2024 because I was just plumb embarrassed that it is hanging on like a hair in a biscuit.😜😅 I started it ages and ages ago, and I still do not have the quilting finished. Oh boy, I am a Miss Slowpoke. - 

Progress at the beginning of 2025

SO HOW DID I DO?

⭐Hip Hip Hooray! I am on a roll! I finished it too! I get another gold star!  Excuse me a moment while I break out into a happy dance. 💃💃💃

The Easter Quilt was started way back in 2019 or maybe even earlier. Anywhooo... it haunted me like a bad dream - always mocking me and saying that I would never finish it. Boy did I show her.  By April of this year , she was quilted, bound and on display. I guess I showed Miss Easter Quilt whose boss.  Didn't I? 

Oh boy ! I am a movin' and a groovin' .🕺🕺 Let's see how I did on the 3rd goal for 2025! 

 

GOAL # 3 as of January 1, 2025 

🧵3. Rainbow Sherbet- I would like to get 1/2 of it completed. It is indeed a slow stitch.  I bought this quilt top at the World's Longest Yard Sale a few years ago. 

SO HOW DID I DO?

❌ YIKES! A  Swing and a Miss! Big Strike out on this one. I don't think I put in one single stitch on Rainbow Sherbet. Now what was wrong with me? 🥴😳

Hmmm ...  THINK... THINK... THINK... Should Rainbow Sherbet move on to the goal list of 2026? We shall see.  🤔🤔🤔

I am biting my nails!  How did I fare on Goal #4?  

GOAL #4 as of JANUARY 1, 2025

🧵4. Mason Jar Blocks- I would also like to work on my Mason Jar blocks if I can find them. 😕😳😉🤨🔎 Hmm, where did those blocks disappear to? 

❌  STRIKE TWO!  Oh BUTTERSCOTCH!  The mason jar quilt blocks are nowhere to be found. Hmmm, I may have to put a BOLO alert for these blocks. Has that stitching bandit been back to my house? Hee! Hee!  

                                         

Well there you go.😀😏 Only half completed . Hmmph a score of a 50 - not very good in my eyes! But on the other hand , it is better than nothing. 😁

Oh well, I better skip to the quilt room and decide which quilty projects will be on my 2026 GOAL LIST. 

Will you be making some quilty goals for yourself? 

I will be gearing up for my New Year's Day start tonight. I will show it to you tomorrow.   

How about we ring in the year with our  fabrics flying and our needles on fire?! Sounds good to me.  How about you? 

Have a wonderful and safe New Year's Eve, Sweeties. 

As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting,y'all
