October Accomplishments and November Goals

I had big goals for October and, as usual, I didn't get them all done. But I got plenty accomplished.

To recap (for myself), my goals were:
- enjoy a vacation - indeed we did
- make placemats for my brother - no
- placemats for my nephew - no
- quilt the guild fundraiser quilt - almost done!
- finish and deliver the Paula quilt - check!
- finish the second baby blanket (on vacation) - made 2 more baby quilts
- crochet 2 children's hats for gifts (on vacation) - made 4 hats
- start the Christmas cards - working on ideas

I'll add the following as a wish list:
- start quilting the Red Sunset quilt that I pieced on vacation last summer
- quilt 6 veterans quilts
​- -quilt some donation lap quilts

A Little of Everything, 48 x 60

Of course my main accomplishment was this quilt, A Little of Everything. It's a sample quilt for Paula Nadelstern's new line of fabric and there was a hard deadline. So really, that was my main goal for the month.
​

My two other quilting projects for the month were the big blue quilt and the raffle quilt. The raffle quilt will be done tomorrow and the blue quilt will be done whenever it's done. I did get one veterans quilt quilted and I look forward to quilting lots more in the next few weeks.
​

My main focus for the month was crochet. I was working on the baby blankets and baby hat for the shower a couple of weeks ago. Then I finished 4 hats for Thanksgiving gifts. It was a good crochet month! I used 9 skeins of yarn.
That's not bad for a month's activity that included a vacation.
