The 11 Progress Project Plan

Sometimes you just need a gentle push 

or reminder about those quilt projects

that tend to accumulate in the depths of

our sewing areas.

It's like the monsters that can hide

under your bed.

It can become overwhelming and

down right scary thinking about what

can actually be hidden away.

This year the members of the Quiltie Buddies

have taken a stand.

It's time to conquer those monsters.

Each of us were to list 11 projects that 

we would like to make progress on.

Please note, I said progress, not completion.

The idea is to move the project along, or

decide if it's something you even want to finish,

or keep working on it to the end.

 No pressure from anyone.

Each month we will randomly draw a number

and see what project corresponds.

This month #9 was drawn.

For me this was a kit that I bought at a Quilt show two years ago.

You know how it is, enthusiasm, starting, and

then ...

I had gotten the pieces cut out and never got back to it, so

finally

put them away.

Everything is still labeled and ready to be worked on.

I have figured out the reason why I put this little quilt away.
On the rare occasions that I buy a kit there is generally
one or two fabrics that I don't love and want
to change.
That's why I stopped.
I wanted to replace two fabrics and didn't
feel like rooting around in the stash.
I wanted simply to make the project.

It's interesting how something so small
to halt the whole project.

But now
I did root and I did replace.
I'm ready to start again.

I've been rejuvenated.

It's the perfect project to progress forward.

My friend, Terrie, over at

Bits and Pieces

has her #9 laid out as well.

Look to see what she's up to.

This can only be a positive plan.

I'll keep you posted.

Until Next Time-
