I usually have a list with the next 4-5 steps of 5 quilting projects. I like to cross off steps as they are completed. My projects are in various stages of completion so I am able to add projects as I finish one of them. I don't give myself a deadline. But I find it is much easier to stay on track with a list.

I am in the process of trying to sell my house, so I have LOTS of goals. I am doing one big project every day, ( like packing all the books around here, or maybe cleaning a closet out. Then I reward myself with time in my sewing room the rest of the day. Have company coming this weekend, so I want to finish making bags for the girls, pillow cases for the boys, BBQ Mits for my son and I have one DGS that still does not have his queen size quilt. Think I can get it all done?

I am retired and my time is my time. Sort of! Just finished a UFO except for the label. Sandwiched a quilt and decided how to quite it. Then decided to make a couple of table toppers to give to friends over the 4th of July holiday. Have them ready to be quilted and have the design ready to go. And there are always other quilts to be quilted. Love to have several projects going. Need something to work on when I cannot sleep at night.

I have not set any goals. Today is my first day of retirement. Two weeks ago I got the fabric for my niece's wedding quilt. I also got invited to another niece's baby shower. I will start on those after I finish the quilt for a friend's grandaughter tonight and a friend's chemo quilt. Both of those have the top done and I am going to macine quilt and bind them this weekend.

Since I'm still working, I'm lucky if I can sew on a work day! SO I don't set goals per se, just try to finish a quilt if it's for a specific person/occasion

The other was for a friend diagnosed with cancer and on a deadline of "asap." I had been working on one for my husband and i, and was about halfway done with with the blocks. It was set aside, but I'm looking forward to picking it back up again. I had also been working on a baby quilt for my nephew due in early august. I just about finished the top last night, but still have some work on that one. I'm going to piece the back.

My goal is to get the baby quilt, which is really about a twin size completely done and sent out by July first. My mom asked for a thanksgiving table runner and 8 matching placemats for her birthday on August 29th. I have those planned and the fabric on order.I'm looking forward to those. They will be pretty and easy to bang out. I'm hoping to have some time to go back to the one for my hubby and I before I have to start on the runner and placemats. I also joined the farmer's wife qal starting August 4th.

Ha. When I write it all out it seems like a lot! I have an app on my phone and computer called evernote. It's free to use and I have a "current projects" note where I track all my wips and where I am in each one. I'm at the point where I want to wrap those up before I start the farmers wife.

That is really cool, I have never heard of that app before it might be a good idea for me to put that on my phone.
