Ok, this is my first time putting up a list, so I hope I don't over-do myself.

1. Make potholders and fabric card for my mother's 50th birthday and get them shipped!!
2. Quilt my Downy quilt
3. Quilt a baby quilt
4. Make and quilt another baby quilt.

Do you think I can get it done with a 1yr old and a 5yr old home all week, then my older two (11 and 12) come home Thursday and back to watching my friends two kids (9 and 10) on Friday? I think my plate is a bit full and I spend WAY too much time on this quilting board!!

Well I needed to finish and get shipped several kits
and they were done yesterday.
*Create a new kit ??? not sure what yet any ideas?
*sew up 3 kits of Peace and Plenty and 7 sets of 4 patch stars and get them in the mail
*Finish my snowflake and snowmen blocks for the swap

that should keep me busy!

I'm gonna keep it simple.

1.Get around to quilting the baby quilt my sister needs by the end of the month.
2.Work on the uneven log cabins.

I say work on them because I KNOW I won't get them done no matter HOW hard I try!

I finished 1 quilt top yesterday, cleaning today and maybe finish the other top tomorrow. Thanks to this listing goals I think I might get my UFO's out of the way.

Ahhhhh you deserve a hug (((((((hug)))))))
There!
Feel better now!
Ok maybe just maybe you won't get them DONE but just think how much closer you'll be to getting there. 25% - 50% closer? That would be nice - because then you can do more next week.

I love your first sentence though "Keep it Simple". These goal setting threads aren't here to make us upset with ourselves because we can't tackle 17 quilting projects in one week. It's to help us SEE THAT WE ARE DOING.

(getting on my soapbox now)
Standing up for all of us when I type this - WE do sooooo many things throughout our day (as parents, house tenders, students, bread winners, care givers, friends to others) that WE sometimes think we're not getting anything done. KWIM?

Here we can list one or two or three quilty things to concentrate on - focus on - for the week. Work on it when you get a few minutes - get up early or stay up later for 30-60 minutes. It's YOUR TIME!!! At the end of the week hopefully you will see progress. The project doesn't have to be DONE. Finished has many phases.

Think like the Little Engine "I think I can ....".
(getting off my soapbox now - very carefully) :)

I totally agree!
most of my quilting is for others at this point
but I take 1 hour out of each day for "my quilting"
but at the end of the month I still have finished quilts for my bed!

2. Press the backing fabric I purchased for a quilt that is all set to go to be long-armed.
3. Finish piecing the a top that needs to be finished in the next week, or so. The long-arm gal has me scheduled for 2 quilts at the beginning of Aug.

We must live in the same area, our local fair is in town also
