Quilting Goals 2026
#12
STOP ACCEPTING OTHER PEOPLE'S SCRAPS!!! Yes I was yelling at myself. When fellow guild and sewing group members know that one is a scrapaholic, they are all too happy to 'donate' their scraps--to me. I must be firm and politely reject their offerings.
I have a 'new to me' longarm and am loving it! But I must make time to quilt some of my own tops, that have been sitting for too many years. I don't know where they will end up--either donations or gifts--but finishing them will make my heart happy.
And of course, use what I have instead of buying more.

Enjoy quilting for the reasons this hobby brings me Joy!... I love to dream about the possibilities I have with all the fabric I have bought or was gifted. I wait for the right quilt pattern to catch my eye and then pull from my stash the colors and patterns that I think will make the quilt shine. Sometimes I start the quilt right away or sometimes I make up a kit for a time when I find out someone needs a quilt. It makes me happy to play with my fabrics as much as it does to quilt with them. Oh and I never have a deadline for any quilt... I don't enjoy the pressure of having to work on a quilt by a certain deadline. Wishing you all a Happy Quilting New Year!

I don't have any quilting goals except to enjoy the process. I do it as a hobby and quilt for my own pleasure. So I rarely have a deadline or pressure on any project. I am not going for show quality quilts or even heirlooms. Just enjoying the steps and having a finished project. My stack will be donated at some point. I give away a lot and special people can request. But without a deadline.

My goal this year is to find a use for the scraps for my temperature quilt! The top is completed (and the rest of the quilt parts being assembled) but now I have a rainbow of colors to use up. A good problem to have, I guess, as I like colorful quilts!
