Crafty Goals List: baby quilt for Beck - tick that box!
- Baby quilt for the Amateur Actress
Baby quilt for Beck- Baby quilt for the Headmistress
- Cup of tea and a lie down after three baby quilts in quick succession
- Complete the massive postage stamp quilt I started early last year. I was doing fine until I realised I'd accidentally doubled the recipe and was now making the quilt twice as big as it needed to be. King-size. In three-inch squares. That's a lot of seams. It's been stuffed into the back of a drawer (a big drawer) for months now, because I get a cold shiver every time I even think about going back to it.
- Curlicue Crush quilt as posted on a few days ago
- Complete a patchwork screen using the antique wooden frame that's shoved into a corner of the sewing room and has been unused for years. In the hope of selling it at a market later in the year.
- Start the Autumn Daze quilt from Kaffe Fassett's Quilt Romance book - picture at the top of this post.
- Bit of a breakdown as I realise doing all those quilts is probably impossible, and why do I always set my sights on unattainable goals and is this a major character flaw and do I set myself up for failure this way and why can't I just live more in the now without having to constantly achieve, achieve, achieve; ...valium now please.
- Finish those grey wool pants I cut out in the middle of winter last year ... sigh ....
- Put up shelves in my sewing room so that my wondrous and ever-growing collection of lovely new and vintage tins can be displayed to its best advantage so that I can actually see and enjoy them. Right now they are piled on top of each other in a heap on the sewing table.
- Make a curtain for the sewing room window. It's been naked-of-curtain for more than 18 months now and I can't stand another winter without one.
- Organise myself for a destash sale. Gulp.
- Get Etsy sorted out. With current stock. Take some damn pictures, Flickettysplits!
- Start blogging again. Oh, I've done that one! Tick that box. Only fourteen to go .....

Oh, how I know what you mean. Why do we do these things to ourselves? Have a cup of tea instead of that valium. And a nice lie down ;-)
