November Monthly Goal

I've  struggled with the Monthly Goals this year but I'm

giving it a last solid try on the homestretch. 

Ok, I might be cheating just a bit.

I'm picking a project near completion.

Yep, I'm one of those people that puts things that are almost

done (or maybe even just finished!) on a list just for the sheer

enjoyment of crossing it off.  It's so motivating!  And suddenly

you want to keep going.   Right now, I really need to keep going.

Firstly, I need to finish this scrappy garlic knot quilt.

Honestly, I'm quilting it up as I write this and I should

have it done by the end of the day but we know how

that can get messed up so my November Goal it is!

There are now borders on it but I'm saving that for

the final reveal.   Unquilted, it measures 78.5X84.5.

Because we've had such a busy fall, this project has

really dragged out for me--so much so that I called it

quits when I really should have added one more row

of knots but I was SO done and I felt that finishing this

one the same way it begins isn't that important,

or even noticeable.

This one is likely sold already but I still want to include

in this goal getting it pictured and listed in my shop.

Now I don't want to be too much of a cheater so I'm going

to add a second goal.  A "Hopeful Goal," shall we call it?"

I have the 950 HST's for this Petite Antique Lace pieced and

trimmed and the first block made.  To make sure everything

is placed correctly, these blocks take some focus so maybe

I'm crazy doing this on a friend-sew-day but that is my plan.

I've gotten a start already and it's making a grand ol' mess

so I think I need to organize these so I can be sure things

will come out equally random.  My secondary/hopeful-goal

is to have this one completely done for November as well,

Including pics and listing in my shop.

Now I know it's a busy month.  There's going to be a holiday

with lots of cooking and baking and the kids will all be home. 

 Then there will be Christmas decorating and shopping.

 I love it all but if someone could please slow it down a bit,

I would appreciate it so very much.

Thanks in advance.

I've got to fit in some solid house cleaning at some point!

Happy quilting!
