I found a challenge as I was reading Blogs this morning.
Go here or here and read all about it. This may be what I need to help me get my projects done.
My goal for January is to finish piecing my "Be Attitudes" quilt top.
Another personal goal I have for 2009 is to manage my spending on anything quilt related. I seriously have enough projects to make it through the year. The only thing I NEED to spend money on would be for batting & notions. I may need a few backings but that is about it. So now for the challenge............. Anytime I spend ANY money on ANYTHING quilt or craft related I will match whatever I have spent into a special savings account. At the end of the year I will buy something for the house. How does that sound?

Sounds like you have a plan girl!!! I have so many that I need to finish, I think I will join the challenge too!! Love your idea of saving as much as you spend!! I would do that too, but every extra penny we get will have to be spent on the new house!

Excellent "plan", Yvette. I really like that spend/save technique. Can't wait to see the finished projects. =)
what a great idea. i can help monitor your spending. LOL
i understand how hard this is going to be. we are both guilty of seeing and "loving" new projects.

What a great challenge! I love it!
And the savings idea is a good one!!
I think my first finish will be that 440+ inches of binding on Michael's quilt! Ugh!
