Time to think about 2013 goals

Seeing how badly I failed at full-filling my 2012 goals, I want to take another stab at this.

1. Learn free-motion quilting & quilt at least 1 complete quilt that way

2. Do 52 blocks for the Farmer's Wife Quilt. This makes 1 per week.

3. Start my own Etsy story for patterns & baby quilts.

4. Write up 2 patterns (hopefully more)

5. Learn curves (retro flowers quilt)

6. Make A&A's Bed quilts

7. Blog more. Goal: 3 posts per week / 12 per month.

This is totally doable! I guess we will see in about 365 days!

Revisiting the 2012 goals

Well... this is not looking good

1. Keep up with the quilting bee (I was good about this in 2011, but got a bit behind right before having a baby)
I managed this! I got behind only once, but then I caught up in a month, and I am all caught up now! Check!

2. Complete 12 quilt tops including: quilts for A&A  (2), Max's Quilt, Living Room Quilt, and Summer Sampler.
Yeah no. I completed 6 tops I think. I may be able to finish one more but that's it.

2a. Quilt 8 quilts (some of the ones above need to be long-arm quilted, no way my sewing machine can handle them!)
Well, I came close! I quilted 7. All the completed tops plus one more from last year.

3. Make some headway in making our bed quilt: put all the blocks together
Not even a slightest bit. I now have 3 options for fabric to make this though!

4. Learn how to make blocks using templates and using paper piecing
I did learn paper piecing. Templates, not so much (although honestly I don't think it would be that difficult, I have done equilateral triangle blocks, tumbler blocks and kite blocks.)

5. Take one quilting class
I did do that! Exactly 1!

6. Learn free-motion quilting.
I have attempted this, but I am finally taking a class in January!

So 2.5/6... I think I need to make more attainable goals next year!
