We will be travelling quite a bit for the next three months so I debated whether or not to set an OMG (One Monthly Goal) for July. It’s great motivation though and I’m on a roll with machine quilting so…
June OMG: Done and Done
With Independence Day around the corner these patriotic quilts were perfect for June’s One Monthly Goal. After not completing May’s OMG, I needed the satisfaction of finishing something!! It was another busy month but I had just enough time to…
June OMG: My One Monthly Goal is to Get Back to Work!
Here we are, the beginning of June and time to set One Monthly Goal. Last month I did not meet my goal so hesitated to set a new one. It’s too easy to do nothing without a plan, though. This…
May OMG: Other People’s Quilts
At some point in the last couple of months I thought I might be motivated to sew SOMETHING. That really hasn’t happened and now I find myself with a few quilt tops that need to be quilted. If they were…
February OMG City Tiles Finished
My February OMG (One Monthly Goal) was to piece the City Tiles top. Not only did I meet that goal, but finished the quilt. I put the last hand stitches in the binding this afternoon. Unfortunately it was too late…
One Monthly Goal: 10 and Done

Just under the wire, my City Sampler quilt is finished. UPS delivered the backing around 5:30 yesterday afternoon. I wasted no time loading on the frame and quilting it. From the beginning I planned to quilt simple straight lines so…
Summer Sewing Part 4: Tula Pink City Sampler
Again this year, Angie from Gnome Angel hosted the Instagram challenge #100days100blocks2017 featuring the 100 blocks in Tula Pink City Sampler book. Every day I eagerly checked Instagram to see all the beautiful blocks. I don’t know how many people…
March OMG: Trail Mix Quilt
Time to get back on track and knock out some UFOs this month. The big ones I would really like to finish are Trail Mix, Dazzling Stars and Celtic Solstice. All three are well underway but will still take a considerable…
December OMG: Dazzling Stars
After falling short on my October goal (it is STILL not finished), I didn’t set one for November. I’m feeling optimistic for December though and am going to set a new goal. This one is a Glad Creations Design called…
October OMG
The one monthly goal (OMG) challenge by Heidi at Red Letter Quilts has been powerful motivation for me to finish some UFOs. This is another one that is oh-so-close to being finished but I just need to push myself on…
