List update:

I decided to make my DGS Jake a Train quilt instead of a Robot quilt. I got a new Accuquilt die for Christmas. I now have train, houses and trees dies. I need to make this quilt. I think it will be a row quilt

I have several UFOs as well. I did not put them all on the list. I am going to try to use the list to prioritize so that I can focus on completing some of them this year. I am also focusing on using stash as much as possible on new projects.

I'm really glad you did this for 2013. The thread last year kept me focused and I really got things finished. Off to find my notebook and think about my list. My class samples get in my way.

2013 UFO's I'm not going there! Fear you'll never hear from me again! Too many UFO's to count.

I decided long ago that saying I was going to lose xx lbs did not work. So, I am going to try to get healthier. I will have to do some pt with this knee and will try to keep it up. The dr. I did see said I would need to lose weight to help the knee heal and the feet hurt less, so I guess I will work at it. DD has been preaching at me anyway.

I am going to finish the last three blocks of the Cotton Pals 2. I kept up all year until the last three were posted and my knee got so bad.

Keep up with the Stashbuster. Since I was in on the planning, it won't look good if I get way behind.

I really don't have too many unfinished tops. I have about 13 waiting to be quilted. Can't do much until the knee is better, but then, look out. I really, really want to get a bunch of them done.

Also, I want to make up a couple of Quick Quarter Quilts because my husband or daughter is always coming in asking for one and I have to rush to get it done. Every year I say I am going to have at least 2 waiting.

There are a couple that corning and I keep planning to do for ourselves, so we are going to try to get back to our weekly sew in.
I know I will want to use my Christmas present from her.

I want to play more with my Accuquilt and really use it in a quilt.

I have to do my Sunbonnet Sue challenge from corning before September...

We have several classes scheduled, so we will always have to work in samples.

I love lists! At least making them, not so much getting things marked off of them (grin).

1. Quilty things:
Baste and quilt two T9P tops
Baste and quilt queen size Apple Core
3 more Charm totes for craft sale
Piece, baste and quilt Birds in the Air - our lighter weight Spring and Summer quilt
Take in small projects from others to make a little extra cash

2 Non quilty things:
Keep making attempts to eat what's good for me and enjoy it
Keep getting inspiration for my diet from Made to Crave book
Pray more, read Bible more, be conscious of others needs before
my own
Get myself more organized and time managed at work to become more
valuable
Spend more time with sister and friends
Take time off from work just because

Thanks for starting this. I'm encouraged that we all want to make positive changes in ourselves, as well as maybe, just maybe getting some of our projects started, done or at least planned :)

Blessings, hugs and giggles,

Susan

My friend liked this idea, only she added a time frame to get things done in. She is staying on track with everything but cleaning the basement. The important stuff like the sewing is doing well, and she hopes to complete one project each month, which would be 12 and she would be very happy with that.
