New Plan of Attack

I found the best advice...ever!!! Check out Madame Samm's blog post from last year!!

She says, in short..

The day before - choose three things you want to finish; do this two hours before bedtime.

Must use a timer.

Spend 23 minutes at a time on each task until completed, jump from 1, 2, to 3. Everything should be handy and prepared, if not, prepare then start the timer. The 23 minutes is for the project, not preparation.  Work faster and faster for each 23 minutes. Take breaks in between.

Do not drink juice or soda as they hinder your brain from working!

Turn off all noise for at least three hours each day.

Suggestion a snack of 1/4 cup of whole almonds and 1 teaspoon of honey!! Gives you lots of energy.

So, I'm going to try that...I'll let you know, too early to choose my 3 things. Going out so my day is done, only got a Dear Jane block done, but worked on other things. Might be keep the fancy machine.

Will re-read again tomorrow for inspiration. So happy Madamn Samm sort of validated my 15 minutes, but I must say that most of my projects really did spill over the 15 minutes mark, so my new time will be 23!!!

Online Quilt Festival - Spring 2009

What a great idea to host an online Quilt Festival ! Thanks to Amy @ Park City Girl! Be sure to stop by and add your favorite quilt! Well, I really want to join in this huge event, so I'm hoping that an almost completed quilt will qualify! I've chosen my Hungry Caterpillar quilt as my favorite because it is my best to date and who doesn't want to show their best? Of course, I have a long way to go, but I'm learning with each and every quilt. This quilt's story goes like this...it was a kit! I'm not ready to chose my own fabrics/colors just yet (may never be!). I got the kit and went to work trying to hit the one-year old granddaughter's birthday (missed it, of course). I simply loved its simplicity since it was panels that I just put together, but it was a good ego boost for this quilting novice, not to mention the practice I'd gotten! So, I loaded on my new HQ16 with the ProStitcher and it sat until I found a digital pattern to go with it. Once again, I...

Finished Clue 2

Here's Clue #2 of the mystery quilt on the Facebook group. I'm working on a bunch of other projects and will share as I get my act together. LOL

Making Some Headway

Wow, finally got all the Kids Will Be Kids blocks put together!!! On to the borders next! I can't wait to get it on the HQ! I worked on my January calendar and still need a few more days. Can't decide which fabric to add. I was trying to use just what I finished, but I think I'll just use some from current projects because I can't get enough done in one month. :) I also worked on my Double Delight a bit tonight, but I'm having trouble getting my on-point squares to not shift when sewing. I need to get those pins Bonnie talks about in her video on her Quiltville site. That's it for Sunday. Gloria
