I've been choosing goals from my PHD list this year because otherwise I tend to have a very short attention span on projects, jumping from one to another to alleviate boredom or frustration. I mean, have you seen my WIP list? Sticking to my PHD list gives me the following options:
RSC quilt: I was really hoping to have the RSC quilted and bound by now. September threw us a few curveballs and I didn't have much time or bandwidth for personal sewing. I'm still working on piecing the backing from stash.
 |
| Backing in progress with my ca. 1999 fabrics. |
Batesville quilt: I'm kind of dreading the this one even though it won't be that bad to finish. This project dates to 2007.
 |
| The entire setting needs to be cut and sewn. |
One item of clothing: I just bought a new serger/coverstitch machine so I need to learn how to use it soon and also overcome my fear of fitting to achieve this goal. Oh, and address the pesky re-stuffing of the dress form since it doesn't accurately reflect my bust, which is my problem fitting area.
Bedford Tiles: We had a guild workshop on this quilt this year. I've been thinking a lot about how I need to say no to quilt alongs and things like that because they aren't always things I would have chosen to make on my own and I tend to end up with a lot of partially completed projects. I do actually like this quilt so far and am looking forward to seeing it finished.
 |
| The sashing, cornerstones, inner, and outer borders need to be added. |
My goal: I'm having a hard time deciding which goal to pick this month. I think I'm going to go with one item of clothing and hope it fits. 😬 I'm considering the Itch to Stitch Montana shirt--it comes with options for different cup sizes, so I thought it would be easy. I looked up a few reviews of the pattern and it's labeled as "advanced". Maybe I need to start with an easier knit top? One item of to-be-determined clothing....
