To Do Tuesday

 Yesterday I went back to my October list of goals and was shocked at how little from that list I've actually worked on.  Wow - that was an overly ambitious list of goals!  Last week I set a weekly goal of working on bags.  One is done - Yay!!, a second is partially done, and the third is planned out. The zebra bag is ready to fuse the fleece lining and do a little bit of quilting.  There are no zippers on this one so it really shouldn't take too long. 

And then I got distracted with some Christmas table runners last week.  I think these will make good gifts if I can actually finish them.  One is a complete top and the other 2 are cut out.  So I'm adding these to this week's goals so I can focus on those bags again. 

The pattern called for 4 of the paper pieced Crossed Canoe blocks, but that would be a huge table runner and that doesn't work for everyone.  I ended up doing just 2 blocks because with the sashing and border it's a decent size even if your table is small. 

That first one is a very modern Christmas fabric in aqua, and pink with a touch of red.  The peppermint candy print and the green snowman are both a lot more traditional. I think each one will be very cute.  

So for this week I've tried to set some reasonable goals for myself:

• FIRST - put away all of the Quilt Show "stuff" that I unloaded from my car!!
• Finish 1 of the 2 Christmas runners (flimsies)
• Farmers Wife Sampler blocks
• make this week's 2 new blocks
• sash at least 10 more
• Make at least 5 various RSC blocks
• Progress on Sophia's zebra bag
• Progress on Olivia's music bag
• Halloween black cat pillow (quilt front & cut back pieces)
• prep a possible charity stitching project with friends - maybe they will be interested
