It's been hard to wrap my mind around the fact that it's October already. Wasn't it just June? The time went fast, probably because I was busy helping Grad Girl with the transition from student to working woman. She defended her thesis, graduated, moved home, found a job, finished her first quilt top and then moved back Texas. Most of that has happened since June. I didn't spend as much time in the sewing room over those months. Consequently, there was this sinking feeling when Yvonne of Quilting JetGirl posted the Q3 CheckIn.
I don't think there has been much progress on my 2025 quilting ambitions during the last quarter, but maybe doing that assessment will set me up to do better in this last quarter of the year.
Ambition 1: Make Quilts. My goal here was to make progress on the projects that were on my quilt plan.
My graph hasn't changed from the end of 2nd quarter. There's been progress on several projects, just not enough to hit the major milestones on my quilting plan. I'm really falling behind on finishing quilts. That's something I should definitely focus on the next few months.
Ambition 2: Learn to quilt. I can't say I've mastered walking foot quilting, but I've done enough to realize it's not as hard as I thought it would be.
The quilting on all the Kate's Choice blocks was finished this quarter. I've started assembling the rows. There's a learning curve on that. Have I met this goal. Not completely, but it has been one of my goals for several years, so it feels good to at least have made a start on accomplishing it.
Ambition 3: Fabric Organization. Not much progress on this ambition during third quarter. With Grad Girl moving home, I did have to move all of the fabrics out of her closet and that gave me a chance to at least sort them into color groups before they went into the big bins that now take up a lot of space in my sewing room. I need to order some shelving to better organize that closet so I can move the fabrics back. Maybe that will get done sometime before the end of they year?
With three quarters of the year gone, I've made progress on all of my ambitions for 2025. That may be as good as it gets for this year. And I'm OK with that.
