Plans, goals & dreams for 2026 linking party from Quilting & Learning

Bonjour and welcome! I hope that you're enjoying the beginning of the holiday season. Are the kids or grandkids out of school yet? Do you have any plans for Christmas and the holidays? It's going to be relatively quiet here which is fine by me. We'll spend some quality time with our son and DIL New Year's Eve at a local Italian restaurant. Good food and company - there's nothing better!

Plans, goals & dreams for 2026 


Link up and help make 2026 a wonderful year!

To plan or not to plan - that is the question........ from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Someone has misinterpreted my view on packing and planning for a vacation. Even though I am a Virgo, I am not a fan of planned vacations. Why? I have no idea, but I suspect two things contribute significantly to that fact: 

1. I spend almost every day planning classes and Zoom calls, and my life revolves around teaching scheduled classes or deadlines, so when I go on vacation, I don't want any structure. 

2. My first "real" vacation was not structured, and I had a blast! 

I took that first "real" vacation with my then-husband. He was a hot ...

Taking Stock And Planning Ahead For 2025 from The Quilt Yarn

I have been working on my background filler project

Finished a couple of sections and then I got a stye in my upper eyelid...inside of all places. So painful and obviously put a stop to freemotionquilting for the last week. My eye was so swollen I had to go to the doctor to get some antibiotics.

Managed to do a few little things though after a few days...not sure whether I mentioned it before, but I joined Lisa Calle's Quilter's Groove Design Society. It is very affordable and there is a bucketload of things to explore ...

#2024 Quilting Q2 and Q3 Check-In from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome. I missed the second quarter (Q2) check-in but since I found writing up a first quarter (Q1) check-in post so useful, I'm going to put both Q2 and Q3 here. I hope that you'll indulge me - it is a long post.

Second Quarter Check-in


April, May and June

Although I worked on a few larger projects, most of my finishes in the second quarter were smaller pieces.

Spring Tulips was an ambitious 3D art piece. The background was quilted while the vase and tulips in the vase were created with Solvy water soluble stabilizer. You ...

First Quarter Check-in from Quilting & Learning

Hi, I was catching up on my blog reading when I found Yvonne's Quilting Jetgirl's First Quarter Check in party and post. It's been such a whirlwind of activity here that I thought that it would be nice to actually see what I said that I would do, and what actually happened so far! Thanks Yvonne!

January to March 2024


Quilts

In my Quilts section, I got distracted and chased a squirrel! I ended up not participating in this year's SAHRR (Stay At Home Round Robin) but instead signed up for Joanne's at Canuck Quilting ...

Getting Ready for a Solo Show from Factotum of Arts

My artist in residence with the Durham Art Guild is nearing an end, and with that is my solo show. The artist in residence is approximately 6 months in length. The show should be new work that you’ve made during the show. There’s a lot to do to fill the space for the show, and a lot of background activities. So here’s my list below.

Space Planning

  • Make sure with the event space what insurance is with the space and what additional insurance you may need.
  • Think about a contract with the event space so it is ...

I knew it had been a while since I posted on this blog, but I was flabbergasted to realize it had been more than 2 years! I have been sewing, but have not been blogging about it. In the new year I am going to try (I know, there is no try, only do) to get back in the habit of posting about my sewing and crafting.

Specifically, I am setting these goals:
  • To post a one-monthly-goal the first week of each month and a followup post the last week of each month on how ...

Planning for 2023 from Quilting & Learning

Thank you Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl for hosting this great linking party again this year. Hopefully it will help keep me focused.

Last year I minimized my plans for 2022. Of course it didn't all get done but that's ok because that's what planning is all about. For 2023, I'm keeping it as simple and general as possible.

My intention for 2023: learn by playing, with mindfulness and contentment

Quilts

This category is more specific because of my promises to get these projects done. I'm very hopeful of completing these and they'll provide great ...

Bee in my Bonnet Planner - 2022 into 2023!! from Bee In My Bonnet

 



Are you a planner?
I have been a planner girl my entire life:)
Before there were publications
 specifically dedicated to "planning"
I was what you 
might have called a "lister" 

I used many things but mostly just 
a regular school notebook to write 
lists about everything 
that I was going to do...
everything I wanted to do and
 everything that I needed to do.

My favorite thing was to
 check them off my list when completed!

It made me happy and feel good
 and like I was accomplishing goals 
and learning and growing.


I still do the same thing today ...

2022 Planning Party with Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to Free Motion Mavericks. Since I'm running behind on absolutely everything, I thought that I would take advantage of this post to also participate in Quilting Jetgirl's very popular and fun Planning Party! 

2021 - A very long year

2021 was the year of Slow Stitching and "Calm" was my word of choice. 

Keep Calm & Stitch

To get ready for this post, I re-read last year's planning post. I'm afraid that almost none of my priorities, which were to quilt my son's quilt and work on my daughter's, happened. I did have a productive ...
