We have made it through just over half of 2024, and I’m ready to look back on how the first half of my year has progressed. You are welcome to join me in the #2024QuiltingQ2CheckIn (the link up is open through July 15th)!
Looking back at my 2024 Goal Setting post, I think that I am more than on track with my 2024 Business Goals.
I had 5 quilt finishes in Q2:
- Garden Peony
- Birthday Mug Rug
- Muditā (my Q2 Just for Fun quilt)
- Star Pulse
- Star Pulse Bonus Quilt
I wrote 3 Tutorial/Tip blog posts with a 4th bonus informational:
- Sewing Inset Curves
- Cutting Convex Shapes Efficiently & From Directional Fabric
- Stitch and Flip Pressing Tip
- BONUS – Juki Foot Pedal Cleaning
And I released 1 quilt pattern:
- Star Pulse (I converted the quilt along into its stand alone full pattern PDF)
I also hosted another Curated Pattern Bundle, and I have a plan for hosting 2 more this year!
2024 Life Goals
- In Q2, life threw me a curve ball with my thyroid, so I’ve been very busy with some unplanned doctor’s appointments. It’s time to buckle down and schedule out the rest of my yearly check-ins: vision and dermatology.
- I’ve been very consistent about doing a 60-90 second plank every day, meditating every day, and getting in at least a little bit of walking time outside. I’m hoping that I will get the all clear from my doctors to resume more vigorous exercise later this month.
- I’ve been taking advantage of checking out and reading digital e-books through my library. I was able to read 3 books in June alone!
- My health concerns definitely helped me focus on giving myself grace in Q2. That’s something that does not come easily, and needing to re-prioritize some business goals due to life needs is not my favorite activity, but I certainly have more practice with it now. I’m working through it as best I can (trying to navigate the health insurance system and costs is stressful).
Linking up with #2024QuiltingQ2CheckIn.
You had an amazing second quarter and those long planks are awesome! And thyroid issues definitely suck!
What a productive first half of the year you’ve had. And I admire you for continually the daily plank challenge – go you!
You’ve had a productive quarter in spite of your challenges. Hoping things calm down soon, and you can enjoy Q3 in a fuller way.
you work hard! I need to take your methods..
Glad to hear you are figuring out your health challenges and keeping a priority on being healthy, that will give you more power and strength for your other endeavors. I use the motto “pay yourself first “.
Congrats on all the achievements so far this year. Health issues are no fun at all. Fingers crossed you get a good path forward on that soon.
Wow, you get so much done! I hope your health issues settle soon. Hang in there.
I am sorry, you had a tough time with your health. But glad it is getting better! Sending more well wishes and healing energy. And a big yes to the strugles of grace and reevaluating business goals/ideas. Personal growth is always hard but so well worth it. All the best for the next quarter xo
