The countdown is ON! Dec. stashbusters
Down to the wire now! My Dec. goals are to finish Jan.-Nov. goals. Not too likely, but I'm giving it the old college try. How about you?

Re: The countdown is ON! Dec. stashbusters
I've got nothing in the works right now, though several projects are planned and the pile of fabrics to accompish them is growing. But nothing unfinished. I worked hard to get all my 10 prs of Christmas jammies finished and now we're not having our family Christmas until January 8th. DD#2 won't be honme until then from So Cal. Disappointing. But at least my sewing is finished! I can't wait to start my new projects! After the holidays, though.

I've gone back through all of the posts to see just what was on my list and if I got it done.
I started off the year with 31 tops to be quilted and another 33 quilts still being pieced (or quilted in sections and not yet a top). Ideally those #s should have gone down over the year. As of today, I have 38 tops to be quilted and 30 quilts still being pieced.
The more specific goals that I listed and have not gotten done as of yet are:
Complete the quilting on my Green and Cream swap block (quilting in sections)
Prep the applique for a quilt so I have handwork
Quilt a baby quilt so I have a finish (I've had other finishes)
Get the DWR on the quilt frame and quilt 11 rings by the end of the year.
Get the borders on Ladder to the Stars
Get the borders on Autumn Splendor
Stay up-to-date on my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler blocks. I didn't get any of November's blocks done.
So, I guess I'll make these my goals for December. As lofty as they are, I have two weeks of vacation coming up so some of this could happen.

Well, here we are one week until the start of the new year. I'm revising my goals, as my 2 weeks of vacation is up and I didn't spend as much time quilting as I had planned.
Quilt a baby quilt so I have a finish - Done
Get the borders on Autumn Splendor - Done
Pieced the backing for the music quilt - Done
The revised goals are to get the borders on Ladder to the Stars
Finish the 'Raising Cane' mystery quilt top (blocks are made, just need the final layout). - Done
Finish whatever step I'm on on the Carolina Christmas mystery quilt. - Done
Finish the DWR so I can start quilting next month.
These revised goals I should be able to handle -- provided I don't get distracted.
