Meetup | November Goals

I’ve got a lot of balls up in the air right now, I sorta feel like I’m not having time to enjoy/celebrate each individual thing that’s happened, but it is what it is!

Biggest thing crossed off the list in October was the launch of my new online shop!!! Big surprise, it took more time than I thought it would, but it’s awesome! 🙂 (Remember, you can save 15% until November 15th with the code “woot”)

I got a lot of things made for Art for Heaven’s sake, include 3 Zip and Gos on Saturday night so I had more than 1 in my booth on Sunday!

I’ve got a session just about complete, I’ve got to get the rest of the text written and then everything up on the website PRONTO! And then push to get the rest of the sessions done.

Here’s the fronts of my birdie zip and gos:

Bird-Zip-and-Go-Process-07

Those are labels, so I keep the pieces straight when I assemble the fronts and backs later on. One little trick that I found quite useful is when I was quilting all the pieces, I kept the top and bottom pieces of the front together, so the quilting thread keeps the 2 pieces aligned; I was worried that I’d put the birds on upside down! This kept me from doing that, and I just got them finished!

Once the show is over, I hope to carve out a little sewing just for fun…I really really want a quilt to drape over the chartreuse chair in the family room before Thanksgiving! I’ve not worked with my Kitchen Blues palette for quite awhile, I need to!
