Gift for my IT guy :)
My Goal for 2019 is to get my WIP list down to 3-6 projects. I started very well in the first two month but the two new Meadowland projects and less finishes in March than anticipated, still leaves me with 14 projects.
My One Monthly Goal over the last three month was always to finish at least two projects.
Even though I did not accomplish it, it is a great motivator. So for April I pick: Either finish two projects (whichever I like from this Q2 list) OR finish No. 9 Gemstones!
No. (1) Ocean Waves, (3) Whirly Girl and (8) Plussquared are relatively close to a finish. And the two wallets (13+14) are also long overdue, as is (9) Gemstones. Let’s hope for lot’s of finishes in Q2 :)
Best wishes

Number 9 is very intriguing. It will make a fabulous quilt. I have a feeling I will soon see it in person ;-)
Hope I can sleep with the ghosts :-D
Big hugs to you.
Congratulations on the finishes!! If it can be of help, I try to balance the projects I want to work on so there’s a little bit of this and a little bit of that; in other words, so I do not spend a whole trimester piecing to be left the rest of the year with just quilting tasks (not my favourite).
And I really love the Meadowland quilts. Specially the grey version ;-)
Good luck on whatever you decide for this 2n trimester!
You’ve got some seriously stunning projects in the works! Good luck this quarter whittling down your list :)
Wow, Melanie, you have some amazing projects. I love both of your Meadowland projects, and Gemstone Tumbler is gorgeous. Take care, Mary
