It is time to report progress on my January OMG (One Monthly Goal).
My goal was to machine stitch in the ditch to stablilize the quilt for free motion quilting.
Mission accomplished!
You don’t see the quilting? Hmmm…here is the view from the back:
Just so you know…I did it! <Grin>

A new year, a fresh start. It feels good to begin anew.
I am not making big goals for this year. No new resolutions that I may keep for a couple of months and then leave by the wayside.
I am keeping it simple.
I want to walk on the beach in the sunshine.
I want to read more; especially His Word, as I have let that slide.
And for January’s OMG (One Monthly Goal), I want to work on the Leavenworth quilt.
I blogged my virtual play time with the Leavenworth Nine Patch block back in January 2013 here and here.
*You can also find those blog posts by clicking on the Quilt Blocks tab at the top of my blog.
Sometime after that, I actually worked up one of my design ideas into a quilt top and pin basted it. I showed it on March 27, 2015.
So my goal for the month is to machine stitch in the ditch so that the quilt layers will be stabilized and I can remove the pins (and thus lighten some of the weight). The quilt is approximately 74″ x 88″, so it is a large size for machine quilting on a domestic machine.

It is time to be accountable and declare what I accomplished with my December OMG (One Monthly Goal).
Because of Christmas and the e-commerce explosion (I work at a post office), I kept my goal light…I really did not expect to accomplish much. I thought I just might have time to machine quilt half of The Case of the Secret Garden (a Linda Franz/Inklingo mystery from 2013).
But I put my nose to the grindstone, and quilted at every opportunity that I could, and I am so happy to report a finish!
If you click on the link above, you can find links to the beginning of this project, and each clue that I worked on it, as well as find where it originated on Linda Franz’ website, Inklingo.
Some of the pictures aren’t that great (it is hard to take good pics indoors in the midst of winter), but they show that I finished this baby!
By clicking on a photo, you can see it enlarged. This quilt was machine quilted on a domestic sewing machine.
