September Goals

I thought long and hard about setting ONE goal for the month:

Just Sew SOMETHING!!!

But I will give it a try with 3 short & simple goals instead.
Never too hot to Stitch!
1.  Do this month's orange blocks for RSC14 and catch up on one prior month.
2.  Start 1 new project.
3.  Finish 1 old project.

My Something New project will be one of these pillows from the book PillowPOP - either Flying Rainbows (above) or Crimson Stones (below). These are the projects chosen for a Sew Along on Threadbias for the month of September. Since I love this book and need some new pillows I had better get on the stick and make one!
My Something Old project will be my Memory Garden UFO so that I can hang it in my entry way this fall. It just needs to be sandwiched, quilted and bound. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm going for small & easy here. This will also be my September project for A Lovely Year of Finishes.
But, most of all, I need to JUST SEW SOMETHING! Pronto. Stat. ASAP.

  1. I know how you feel. After being on the road this week I am working from home this morning. And I took a break long enough to put the cuffs onto 2 more pillowcases and pressed them so that over the weekend I can hopefully finish them up. It just felt good to spend even 15 minutes at my sewing machine.

    Love the flying rainbow pillow - so sharp!!

  2. What a great idea. It is hard only working on UFO's. I could use your goals as well.

  3. I love your goal to sew something. I wish you all the best in meeting this goal. Now I really want to check out that book. I have been wanting to make pillows for awhile.

  12. It seems to me that just getting started is the hardest part, especially when we've had a long break!
