Quilting Priorities for July

Every month I set quilting priorities for that month. These include classes I'm teaching or taking that need prep, retreats, quilts I need to work on for a trunkshow - you know those kind of things.

For many months, the priorities have been all about the KC Regional Quilt Festival. I taught eight classes and they all went really well. I met some new quilters, and got to visit with old friends.

Now that Festival is over, I get to pull out some UFOs, work on some class samples, and even start some new quilts.

So here is my priorities list for July:

 - Enroll quilters in my Log Cabin Sampler QAL and send fabric requirements

- Go to the KC Maker's 5th Birthday party and see my friend Eileen Urbanek's trunk show

- Sew binding on to 3 quilts

- Arrange to have 3 quilts quilted

- Work on Tuscan Vintage class sample

- Start 2 new 3-D/Opical Illusion quilts

- Pull out 1 old UFO and get 'er done

- Add 3 patterns to my Etsy shop

- Add pictures of all my Judy Niemeyer quilts to my website gallery

I find setting a focus for the month really helps - I have quilting ADD and could easily get lost and end up getting nothing accomplished. 

How do you decide what to work on? Are you determined to finish a quilt before starting another? Do you have BOM quilts or Round Robin projects every month that need your attention? I'd love to hear your strategies.

Curious to know how you stay focused
