At the end of each quarter I like to reflect on what I accomplished (or didn't accomplish) that quarter and usually it inspires me to action and get serious about my WIPs again, because honestly we all get distracted don't we? So how did I do for the second quarter of the year? Ok, I did just Ok, I finished three small projects but didn't touch any of my quilts. I'm going to be brutally honest here but I've definitely lost my quilty mojo recently. I'm sewing all the time and love sewing so I've concentrated on clothing and small projects but just can't seem to get excited to work on any of my quilts. I think a large part of it is that the quilts always end up taking so long and it's hard for me to see the finish line so I lose track. Sewing clothes is fast and instant reward so I've been really digging that. All that being said, I really want to work on my quilts, so maybe I just need to force myself back into it? I'm not sure but if you have suggestions, feel free to leave them here. Ok enough rambling, here is how my quarter turned out:
I totally finished this project too, the Ladies Waterfall Raglan. Didn't get a chance to photograph or blog about it because I'm thinking of taking it apart. The fabric doesn't have as much drape as called for in the pattern and ended up being at least one size too large. I've worn it twice now and am just not in love with it, but think I would like it if I make it smaller. So I'm thinking about cutting out the seams and just sewing it together again. I'll also redo the neckline as it was a little wonky too. So now that I've put that in writing that is what I will do!
The final four projects, you guessed it, didn't touch them. Didn't even think about the quilts and just ran out of time for the pajamas. So now I just need to decide if I'm carrying them all over to the third quarter or what. Hmm...
So there you have it, 3 finished, 4 wips, so I'll call that semi-successful. Though I will say I am thrilled that I had some great finishes this time and there is always next quarter.
