January Goal is Complete

I chose this quilt as my goal for January, all it needed was binding and a label.  It has both.  It is one of my favorite quilts I have made and it is so nice to have it completed.  My husband likes this quilt also so I think it will be his.  It needs to be washed to soften it up.  The rain has not stopped here so I had to make do with a picture taken inside.  It does not show how fun the quilt is and the fabulous quilting but I wanted to link this up with One Monthly Goal at Elm Street Quilts.  I have decided that this will be a year of finishes and I am happy with the projects I have accomplished.  I will share some of my quilt tops that are ready to be quilted soon.

The binding on this quilt is scrappy, I had a lot of leftover fabric.  A scrappy binding for a scrappy quilt.

Visit Elm Street Quilts here to see who has finished their January goals.  In my blogpost here I listed this as one of my goals for the 2018 Finish Along Q1.  I will be linking this finish.

Lofty Goals for the 2018 Finish-Along

I have chosen a word for the year.  The word is finish.  I hope to use this word when making decisions in all areas, not just when it comes to sewing.  I want to focus on finishing the things I start.  Finish that book I started reading or that letter I began writing or the plans I was making to invite someone over or finish organizing that closet.  

There are many verses in the bible that use this word.  I hope to focus on memorizing a few of them.

 John 17:4 Jesus said "I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do."

I am sharing several pictures of projects that I hope to accomplish in the next few months.  I am not sure how much time I will have to work on my sewing but I will make every effort to complete what I can.  I will link my post with the 2018 Finish Along.  I appreciate the encouragement the finish along provides.

Wow it is 2018 - What is my January Goal?

I have always been a list maker.  Especially when it comes to my sewing and embroidery projects.  I love crossing off or writing down the date that I finish something.  I am working on a list of twelve quilting projects I hope to complete this year and this is the first I will work on.

This is my Adornit block of the month quilt.  It is all quilted but missing something, the binding.  It has been ready for me to finish for a while now and this is the month.  I will post when it is bound and labeled.  I did not label all of my quilts at first but I plan to label all moving forward.  I will be linking this post to One Monthly Goal at Elm Street Quilts.  I appreciate these link ups, they always help in the area of motivation.  Happy Stitching!
