My goals have been going fairly well. The one with the most tangible yardstick is the goal of 25 quilts to charity. So far I've donated 8, with another 2 that are completed and ready for donation.
I'm also working on my PhD (Projects Half Done) with Gail of Quilting Gail. She has you make a list of your UFOs and commit to completing at least half before the end of the year. AND, the hardest part, you have to complete anything started in 2019.
I started with a list of 25 projects. One on the list will actually be two quilts, so that brings me to 26 with a requirement to finish 13. I'm pleased to report that I've finished 11 so far! So this part of my PhD should be a piece of cake.

The harder part of the PhD is completing anything started in 2019. So far, I've started 6 projects not on the original list. Four have been completed. One is the hand sewing QAL from earlier this year when I made the first block and stopped. I'll have to figure out what to do with that block because I'm not sure that more hand piecing is in my immediate future. I also want to start/get caught up with the Harry Potter QAL with Lorna of Sew Fresh Quilts. I'm planning an abbreviated version. I haven't actually cut anything, so it's not technically started or a Project Half Done. Yet. Here's the breakdown of what been started in 2019:

My list was created before I knew I was chosen as an Island Batik Ambassador this year. I haven't included them in either list because they weren't started before the year started and since they have deadlines, they will be completed before the end of 2019. But if you are keeping track, I've completed 6 challenges (one not yet blogged) plus a bonus Quilt of Valor. I've got a new tab at the top with all my Island Batik projects.
Wow! Congratulations on all the progress towards your PhD this year. You are well on your way, even with your 2019 starts.
