We have all heard this quote…. “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” by Winston Churchill or maybe this one by Benjamin Franklin…”By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail.”.
This month I’ve been doing a lot of planning for my new year! Focusing on what I need to get done and new challenges I want to embrace.
You may have seen some awesome quilty planners floating around on the the interwebs…..
like this one>>>
The Quilter’s Planner by Stephanie Palmer
Can I just say this planner is AWESOME looking! ….. but alas, I am trying to not buy every little thing my quilty heart desires in 2017. But if you can… get you one HERE!
So here is what I came up with for myself…. a little journal I received as a gift! Added my own little quilty quote…. because “Quilty dreams do come true💜.”
I’m gonna walk you through my planning process and maybe it will help you too!
•First task…. Assess what is happening!
Woah Paula!!!!
FOURTEEN unquilted tops… gotta look those tops in the face, take some control!
P.s…. don’t be ashamed of unfinished projects.
We are makers! And makers gonna make quilty peeps:)
Next stop on the unfinished train….
•Quilts or projects that are started but haven’t made it to the finished top phase.
I call this the To Be Pieced section….
Ok…. so I have a few of these also, no biggie!
A second part of this I call… my In Progress section.
These are quilts that are basted and in the mid-quilting phase.
Hey….. pat on the back! These are almost there.
• New Projects.
What do I want to do that is new and exciting in 2017…
Now…
You might be thinking….PAULA!
Are any new projects really necessary?
I say YES!
We have to keep growing as quilters and letting our creative side have fun!
So I made a list of some projects I want to push myself to squeeze in.
Last….but not least….
•Add a page of Goals and Progress for each month!
♥
This lets me see what I’ve accomplished. It’s easy to get overwhelmed!!!
But we must remember…. Quilting is fun! It’s your world. Do what makes you happy 😊
My goal is to finish something unfinished each month and enjoy something new!
January is looking good so far…
•One finished Quilt!
•One finished top!
•And a start on a quilt I’ve dreamed of making as long as I can remember.
My quilty heart is happy💜
I hope you guys give yourselves a break, BE SASSY and continue you to do what you love!
Keep it Sassy♥
