2024-25 Goals

2024-25 GOALS

A) Reduce the Longarm UFO list.

2024-2025

And finally getting back to the blog and crafting dialog!  Sandi, my quilting partner, and I have decided that we would use the number system again this year to select each month's project.  We seem to get more accomplished using the number system rather than individually selecting what we want to do each month.  We also want to keep track of our stash reduction--about time I did that!!  Although I do have to say that I haven't purchased much fabric in the past 2-4 years.  Nor have I accomplished much in the way of quilting.

We're staying in our Colorado Springs home for a few months which means I can't get any of my 129+ quilt tops quilted as the longarm is in WY!  However, since we have to spend 8 months in our WY home to qualify for a reduction in our property taxes in 2025, perhaps I can make a dent in the quilt tops that need to be quilted on the longarm.  

The 2024-2025 year is going to start in November, 2024 and run through October 2025.  So, I will get my 12 projects chosen and written down; Sandi already has her list compiled.  Hopefully, everyone will have a good, productive year.
