We're at the end of August. I didn't get too much sewing in this month. Hopefully next month will be more productive but with classes starting and a new class to prepare for I may get bogged down. (This includes blog posting and visiting. I've got be out of the house by 8:30 some days so that is going to cut into my time in front of the computer.)
Let's see. Goals for September.
- Stay on top of the 365 Challenge
- Keep up with assignments on Tonya's online class
- Do my turn on the quilting for the Bazaar quilt
- Decide on a layout for the Feathered Stars and start corner blocks
- Start a quilt with the fabrics I bought in the States
The last goal is something I've been planning to do but I have no idea where to start yet. I want to do something with stars in somber colors and I bought some fabric already but didn't do any calculations on how much I actually need. This is going to be a gift quilt so I don't even know if I want to make it bed sized or wall sized or what. Hopefully I can make those decisions in the next couple of days. Does that sound like too much? Three of those goals are sort of reachable just by my own discretion. I'll give it a go.
And just this morning a friend, Mrs. Ochiai, sent me a picture of this beautiful quilt top that she made so I'll show it here. She's been working on this for a few years and had it in her closet but she is finally at the quilting stage! I hope that once she gets her quilting lines drawn that a bunch of us will help her get it basted so that she can start quilting. I wonder how long that is going to take! Isn't that a beauty! And look at the applique! She said she had 119 leaves in that border!

When you make concrete goals, you are much likely to reach them, because you can stay focused and don't get side tracked quite as much. I'm sure that you can meet them.
You're a person of action so I have no doubt you will stay focused and accomplish each of your goals. Mrs. Ochiai's quilt is beautiful. It must have taken many stitching hours to applique all those leaves.
You've got to have targets in anything or we'd never achieve anything. That's a beautiful applique pattern round that border - thanks for sharing

That is a beautiful lily quilt!
What do you mean by somber colors? (I have heard that my beloved taupes are somber...)
They sound like reasonable goals to me! Your friend's quilt is specatcular!
