Octobers Goal

     The weather has not been co-operating with me, and I have yet to get outside to take any good photos of my planner quilt...hopefully tomorrow.  Since I finished the planner quilt I've been working madly on a challenge quilt which I can't share pictures of until after Thursday and I have to say it has been quite a challenge.  I'm about to start quilting it but I needed a break. So I thought I would take that break and write a post about my goal for October.  I am falling behind in my two quilt alongs and I've decided to take the month of October to work on catching up.  

     
 
     The specific goal is to finish the August (yes that would be August) steps for the Modern Plus Signs Quilt Along hosted by Cheryl Brickey of Meadowmist Designs and Paige Alexander of Quilted Blooms.  I managed to cut those strips in August and they are ready for me to go.  But first I have to finish my challenge, I guess I better get back to it.  I'm linking up to the October monthly goal linkup with Patty of Elm Street Quilts.

I look forward to seeing what your challenge is. A little sun sure would be nice, I tried to get pictures for my last blogpost but the sun was not cooperating.

Love the colors in your fabric! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.

Good luck on your goals this month. I've been stuck at the "needing pictures" stage too and my husband just won't do it anymore. (He wants me to get a stand and a good camera - when did decent photography skills become necessary for quilters anyway? I just want to make quilts!)

But it turns out I can bribe my kids with a starbucks hot chocolate to hold my quilts/help me out. Best 4.10$ I've spent on quilting supplies! Good luck though :p

A secret challenge. How exciting, I’ll look forward to seeing the pics. Good luck with your catch up month, and with your goal in particular.
