So what are my goals for the year 2023 with regards to quilting?

Let me put them down in black and white.

1. Finish 120 charity quilts minimum (I would love to do twice that, but will officially only make the 120 my goal). 240 is what I would really like to do and 360 would make me over the top happy, but I’m not sure it is physically possible - so much depends on the how life goes this year with ‘other things’ (Ukraine, visitors, possible trip to the US, etc)

2. Finish 50 of my own quilts this year - any size—including quilting all the UP Greens, and my various unfinished tops sitting in my sewing room and fabric rooms. Most of these are queen size.

3. Write up 25 new patterns.

4. Get my long arm working with the robotics (early in the year).

5. Choose 60 of my quilts to give away (as I have too many!) I can pack them up and send them to Ukraine as long as there is a need.

   If I finish 50 this year, this would be a net loss of 10 - I need to make it a higher goal, however as I need to clear out a bedroom where all the quilts are being kept and I can’t get in and out well - I simply have too many.

While these goals are not all that extensive, they are pretty hefty. Because of that, I’ll stop with them. If I can do more, that’s great (esp. of the give away goal - but because this is seemingly so hard for me, I’ll let it go with this number in black and white, but try to do more once I get those done. Maybe by the time I exercise my ‘get rid of muscles’ that much, it will be much easier.)

And that’s enough goal setting. I feel tired already. :)

Have a great day wherever you are reading!
