goals?

So... we are at the last day of the second month of the year.  How are everyone's goals going?  The two goals i posted here, neither has been met. 🙈 My father wasn't feeling so hot so we still went and spent the weekend at Seeley Lake, but we didn't do the race.  we did do our workouts and skied and still had a great time.  I still am sticking with the #elizabethanderin2019 challenge.  That involves a daily 1.5 min wall sit and 25 pushups.  The next two races i am registered for both st. patrick's themed.  One is a 3 miler with a client and her daughter, and the other is the Run to the Pub 10K, which i have done almost every year.  I have been enjoying the #gomoregetmore challenge on the Nike Running Club app too. it has kept me motivated to log miles since we literally have 3 feet of snow, treadmill it is.  we have had one day that has been above freezing and most of the days have been sub zero for over one month now.

I am almost finished with a queen sized quilt for my father, for his 60th birthday.  I finished the floppy top to show him by his bday, but now i am quilting it on my domestic machine.  with a minky back.  it is a behemoth beast!!!  this is the largest quilt i have made to date and am partially regretting the decision to quilt this myself on my domestic.  i will post pics of it completed.  it is the regent street star quilt by moda bake shop, and i added flying geese borders with scraps from the pieces in the top.  the borders took longer to complete than the main part of the top... oh well it is unique and worth it! :)  He loves it, and will use it.  I also made another Ogden Cami, with true bias fabric, and copied a fellow sewist from IG and added mini pom trim to the hem.  it is SUPER cute! I want to make an ogden cami hack dress, and still want to make the lander pants... probably when this quilt is finished i will begin the pants!!!😬 I have two different fabrics i want to use. If you have any tips or tricks feel free to send them my way!! :)
