I always have mixed feelings about September. On the one hand, I love fall weather because it's a mix of warm and cool without the extremes of temperature. But on the other hand, I feel sad about summer ending. For decades I've felt a "happy new year" vibe as we moved into September, because it meant a new school year with new office supplies for my classroom. Is that weird?
After much thought about what I want to accomplish this month, here are my goals:
- Clean ONE AREA in my sewing room!!!
- Bind 1 quilt - either Quilt of Valor (Patriotic Stars) or the Rail Fence
- Cut out NEW QOV from kit (Daring Spirit) - see photo
- Quilt and bind the red/white/blue pinwheel table topper
- Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color is red
- gingham blocks (2)
- Twinkle Star blocks (2)
- Ohio Star block (1)
- String block (1)
- Diamond Tile blocks
- Make the piano key border on Potting Shed (Kim Diehl)
- Cut out this month's Simple Whatnots project - Farmer's Market
- Make 4 pillowcases
- Finish the last 3 Bee Patriotic Sew Along blocks
- UFO - not determined yet which one I'll focus on
- Pick a PIG - Laundry Line (Kim Diehl) for Simple Whatnots
Now that I look at these goals I notice a theme running through a lot of my goals - RED. Red is obviously a color that is in each of those patriotic projects. And Kim Diehl's projects have a lot of darker reds in them. In fact the border on Potting Shed is mostly red. I may need to work on some other colors during the month or I'll get bored and set them all aside.

August/September was the start of my mental year, too. It was hard not to check out the school supply aisles for about five years after I retired. I live new gadgets and a fresh notebook. Have fun with your September goals.
Yep i was not a teacher but still think of Sept as new beginnings.lol i love a new notebook too. To scribble down those what ifs ideas for my next project. I need to organize and assess before making my goals
eager to see your Kim Diehl projects. Each year I say I am going to do the whatnots!!! Maybe 2021 as a reward for surviving 2020? LOL
