100 Day Challenge - Quilt Edition

1/6/2016

6 Comments

 
Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and now are looking forward to all that the new year brings.  I'm happy to be here blogging again and setting goals, goals I intend to keep and accomplish!  I'll be joining along with the Finish Along that has been running for a few years now, but when I read that Quilter in the Closet was hosting a 100 Day Challenge, I figured I would play along too.  You can read all the details on Jen's blog, but basically you set 3 crafty/quilty goals to accomplish in 100 days, because 100 days is a better time frame than a goal or resolution for an entire year, right?  I thought so, so here I am, putting these goals or resolutions here in my little bloggy world.  Ready, set, go...

My three goals for this 100 Day Challenge:
1.  Quilt my Constellations City Sampler Quilt.  It is basted and ready to quilt, sitting for almost two years now. (Insert EEK face!)  I want it finished and this is my big goal to complete.
2.  Blog more consistently.  So I am making it my goal this year to blog at least once a month, hopefully more.  My goal for this challenge also includes blogging about the projects I finish, thus they aren't finished until I blog about them.
3.  Selfish sewing.  I want to sew at least one item of clothing, either for myself or my little girl.  Patterns and fabric have already been chosen and washed.  I really want to make the Laurelhurst by Straight Stitch Designs, shown below.

There we have it, my three goals for the 100 Day Challenge, ending April 15, 2016.  Feel free to play along, head on over to Quilter in the Closet's blog, (click on the image below) for all the details.  See you guys soon because it makes me awfully sad that I blogged two times last year.  So here is to a New Year!

Marci, Fabulous goals! I am very excited to see your constellation city quilt finished - it is absolutely gorgeous already! And, I think it is wonderful that you want to blog more too. As I have told several participants already - it is a goal that benefits us all! A little selfish sewing to round out your 3? Awesome sauce! You deserve something pretty! Now, go get to work! I will be cheering you on!

Ohhh, I like these choices!!! You should definitely sew for you! And if you don't finish that constellation quilt this year (I'll stretch it for you, just in case), I'm going to come out there and steal it. :P
