Lacie’s stance on goalsetting: Big Hate. Not a big fan of New Year’s Resolutions, but I love the newness of January.
Ashelyn’s stance on goalsetting: “I didn’t realize not everyone is a goalsetting in the new year…as a kid.” Ashelyn’s Dad (Dr. Dave) owns a business called Oola Life where he helps people find a balance in the 7 areas of their life. Find more info about him and his company here.
Lacie’s personal goal: Make a quilt to keep for myself & attend more retreats.
Ashelyn’s personal goal: Doing more in-person teaching & slow down quilt production.
Podcast Goals: More topics from the listeners (longarm quilting, thread, batting etc), bring review goal back to 200 (more below) and visit our Fireball Quilters and meet more Threadheads in real life.
Auction Quilt Storytime:
In June, we hit out goal of 50 reviews on Apple Podcast, and auctioned the quilt pictured. Shortly after, we received 100 reviews and made another quilt to auction. We missed the memo that quilt #2 is preoccupied. We thought we were getting the quilt back after a show in the fall, but that is not the case, and will be reshown in February. BUT we will auction it when it comes back to us. As of today we are at 154 reviews, so if we get 200 ratings by the time we get quilt #2, we will make another quilt and have THREE quilts to auction!
Quilty Resolutions For You:
No New Fabric
Get More Involved in your Local Guild
Bee Block: Each person part of the bee choses a block and each person makes said block, and gives it to that person. To tweak charity quilts, use the same manner as Bee Blocks and have each person make one block for a charity quilt.
