I try only to set goals that are achievable. That said, l must admit I have achieved my set resolutions for the past two years. They are: 1) keep using up stash--do not buy new fabric unless it is absolutely needed for a specific project. Last year, I had made a gift for a dear friend's wedding and all that was new fabric. Other than that, I can't remember buying more than 10 or 15 yards. 2) complete at least one UFO. I did that. All the extra fabrics were pulled from the stash. 3) donate 16,000 square inches of quilts. I have donated 19,000 sq. inches this year. Next year, I'll increase the goal, say to 20,000. This way, I make larger quilts and smaller quilts. the larger get donated one place, the smaller I give to the local Linus chapter. I also have gardening resolutions. For the past two years, I've planted enough garlic that I haven't had to purchase any. This year coming, that continues...
