First, a wrap-up of my goals for winter. I was on a roll until coronavirus arrived, so I’ll consider it a pretty successful season!
- Get Beauty Burst and Mini Maze ready and shipped to QuiltCon. Done!
- Mini quilt testing. Done!
- Make a mini for the MQG swap. Done!
- Have a blast at QuiltCon in February. Done!
- Finish one UFO. Not done.
- Get started on a STEM-inspired quilt. Not done.
- Also done:
- Got the GCMQG charity quilt finished up and shipped to QuiltCon.
- Pattern tested the Indigo Radial mini quilt for my quilty friend Audrey.
- Wrote a new pattern and made a sample. (More to come soon!)
- Finished Palmdale facing, label and sleeve, and shipped it off to a show!
- Released my revamped Broken Zig Zag pattern.
- Made a mini for the Curated Quilts HST/Subtraction challenge.
- Made blocks for two different quarantine-inspired group projects.
Here’s what I’m planning for April-June, keeping my guiding thoughts in mind as I go…
- Make face masks for my family. Yeah. Who’d have thought THAT would be on my sewing list this year…
- Finish the Alison Glass/Giucy Giuce Mini Series sew-along. This started a couple weeks ago and consists of 8 small, intricate blocks (one per week) and then two weeks at the end to incorporate them into a project. I was supposed to teach this as a class at my local shop, but coronavirus changed that.
- Make a quilt for the GCMQG challenge. My guild does a challenge every year. The theme this time around is “curves” and I need to get started on something for it!
- Spring clean your studio blog hop. My day is April 24 so I better get cleaning!
- Make a STEM-inspired quilt. Need to pick my design (I have several ideas) and get it made in time to enter the Math/Science category for this fall’s Quilt Festival.
- Write 2 patterns. I have two that will be published in the June timeframe.
Let’s go spring! And here’s hoping by the end of these 3 months we’ll all be back to a somewhat-normal (or new normal?) non-coronavirus life!
