2009 Goals - The Year to “Use It”
Here are some things I’d like to do in 2009:
- Make a feathered star – Completed
- Make a project that has Y-seams.
- Make a tote bag. – Completed

2009 Stashbusting Goals
- I can’t, with good conscience, agree to “not buy” any fabric next year, so I’m proposing to “Low” buy (keep it to a minimum) fabrics and supplies.
- Use at least 125 yards of stash (with 75 yards more than I buy). – I’ve used over 125 yards, but have not reached the added goal…still the numbers are a lot better than last year.
- Make at least 5 projects (kits or PIGS) that have been on my “Projects Waiting to be Started” list prior to 2009.
- Diamond Jubilee started
- Double Dip (teal/brown/cream)
- A Haunting We Will Go
- He Loves My Daisies
- Quilt at least 3 of my older tops (pre-2008 ) – 30s Pinwheel Stars (3/21).
