We pick the September PROJECT OF THE MONTH 2024! Join our adventure to complete unfinished projects!

My record for finished projects this year so far is now 5 1/2 out of eight! YAY!
August was a very productive month and I made progress on one of my projects, and two more quilts are done! The finished quilt pile is getting taller!

We challenge everyone everywhere to pick out 12 projects you want to accomplish in 2024.They can be any type or size of project you want! Quilts, Crafts, Painting, Knitting, Crocheting, Home Dec, Scrapbooking Projects, Clothing, Legos, Art Pieces, - absolutely any category! It's your choice! Write the list down, numbering them one through twelve. Find a way to store them so they are accessible and easy to find. The first week of each month we will present a video where I reveal what I accomplished and to pick the number for the project that month. Then it's time to work on whatever project we pick for that month!! Get It Done!!

This year we encourage you to also pick a bonus project; something BIG! Do a little bit every month and by the end of the year you will be done, or, at least closer to done than you were in January! Some projects need to be spread out over a longer period of time, Look for something very special.

We know it is sometimes hard to motivate yourself to finish old projects or start on a project that is intimidating. We want to help you get over the hurdle and help you create and enjoy the satisfaction of a finished project! Let's do this together!!

In January we picked project number 10
In February we picked project number 6
In March we picked project number 2
In April we picked project number 4
In May we picked project number 11
In June we picked project number 9
In July we picked project number 7
In August we picked project number 12
In September we will work on project number 8!

Your string quilt is beautiful. Great job

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies...I feel Shelley deserves a GOLD STAR for all her work. She is an inspiration to me. I hope she is to you too. These quilts are beautiful, and I love the binding is matching. I have never done that, and I really like it. Thank you for sharing your talent and tips. Take care and God bless from Michigan.

The two quilts you finished are beautiful!

I like the two extra blocks on the back! ❤

[livingweirdestherc]

You have done a great job on those quilts

[ccreel]

Great finishes! Bigger projects always take longer than smaller ones. September will be another longer project, I wish you well with it. They’re lovely hand pieced pieces. 🤗

[cynthiagilbreth]

I can’t imagine doing this, these quilts are so beautiful.

[yvonneallan]

This has totally inspired me to catch up my finished! My projects are not the same but I'm getting them done, along with you♥️

The string quilt inspired me to use some Halloween themed fabric like that, it makes me think of spiderwebs!

I'm glad you summarised the year so far. It felt like each month that the quilt had defeated you. However, you are only a couple in arrears. I think you are amazing for disassembling, recutting and remaking. I wonder what you do with the finished quilts. Do they go into an archive? If you are ever in the UK, you should go to the American Museum near Bath, where they have a small quilt collection.

I love the vintage quilts. It takes me back to the past of women who made do with what they had. Thank you so much for restoring there quilts.

[lindaladner]

I really enjoy your channel. My favorites are the videos where you use up your scraps and choose the project of the month. Your star quilt turned out so pretty!

[janineboyce]

Love both those vintage quilts! I didn't finish my project last month either but made progress on other things and luckily #8 is an easy one for me :) These monthly projects are so inspirational and motivating!!

[NanaKathy]

I always look forward to this video each month. I now need to go find my #8. LOL

[jeuler]

Please do a double wedding ring quilt and show us step by step how you decide to do it.

[lyndaslocum]

I like both quilts but the string quilt is my favorite

[michelleswistak]

Making good progress, wish I could say the same.
