Judy, over at Patchwork Times has started a new motivational link up on her blog... Patchwork Times "Getting It Done"
At the end of each month, we'll link up with a list of 4 quilty things we want to complete in the next month and report on our progress during the month. This sounds pretty good to me. So in January, at a minimum I want to complete these quilty things:
1.) Get caught up on Sew Much Fun's Block of the month. It uses Thangles and they provide the red and white fabric strips used in the center; we provide the star points and backgrounds. Hear is a photo of part of the sample (sorry, not great.) The store is in Gastonia, NC, about an hour and a half away from me, so I don't get there each month. At any rate, I have November's block and need to complete it as well as pick up & complete December 2012 & January 2013. For those who know North Carolina and the infamous Mary Jo's Cloth Store... Sew Much Fun is only 5 minutes from Mary Jo's!
Whoa??? what happened to the color? The yellowish color is really olive, the blues are really teals. Hopefully this image will be more true. The fabric is Sandy Gervais' Tranquility line (an oldie 2008 I finally used up.) The Pattern is from the book Jelly Roll Quilts by Pam Lintott and Nicky Lintott.
3.) Make the freezer paper templates to assemble my Christmas Tree skirt made using a pattern from the book French Braid Obsession. (Sorry no photos.)
4.)Complete the final 5 blocks of the star quilt top for my grandson. (Again, no photos.)
My non-quilty (but blog related) goal is to IMPROVE photos... geez Louise there is MUCH room for improvement!
So, thanks Ms. Judy from Patchwork Times for hosting this motivational tool for us for 2013. Happy New Year everyone... may your stitches never skip and your needles never break!

Great projects! Have fun!
You have a month of great projects to complete - thanks for sharing
What is nice about Get It Done is that you can so as little or as much on a project as you want!
You will have no problem quilting on your domestic. It will turn our great. Your list is very do-able! Will be great to see how much all of us accomplish.
Wonderful list! Thanks for the pictures. I didn't know there were TWO quilt shops in Gastonia! Next time I drive over to Charlotte to see my son, I'm going to have to stop at both of them!
I will have to heck out that shop near Mary Jos. I am pretty certain I can stay busy this year without starting anything new....just work on UFOs
great goals for January! have fun!
Becky you can do it! "Where there's a will...there's a way"... I managed to quilt a 92x106 Dresden Plate quilt for my son on my little Singer!
Of course, there wasn't much of an actual design...just going round and round....What a pretty quilt...umm...I mean "Manly" quilt...your son will love it! Love your Star quilt too!
