1. Carpenter's Wheel - double - top done
2. Snowman BOM - twin - pinned and waiting to be quilted
3. Grandmother's Flower Garden - 8 out of 20 blocks done - waiting until Christmas projects are done.
4. Candle wall hanging - piecing
5. Christmas tree place mats - needs binding put on
6. Santa wall hanging - cut out and laughing at me
7. Lily stained glass wall hanging - cut out and just scoffing me
8. Two spring table runners - need to put blanket stitch around the edges - I'll leave you to guess how long I've been working on these.
9. Three fabric bowls - cut out.
I think that's it. At least it's all that I can think of. If there's anything else, I really don't want to know about it.

This was chosen from Random topics and I see the date is rather old. I do want to reintroduce this. It is so true !
The F-word. Just like in girl scouts. No one was to say the R word. Rain. I cannot for some reason finish this baby quilt. The edging is so difficult, my Parkinson's hands are NOT cooperating !
How many other projects are you all juggling?

Card Trick, half pieced. Started in 2004 and in the UFO box.
3 Bean Salad, blocks done but need to applique chili peppers in 1/2 of them and find backing I love.
2 patriotic quilts started and they are in shoe boxes now.
Black and pink cat print quilt for sis. Sashing doesn't line up, so that got thrown in a bin for someday.
2 unquilted baby quilts, 1 partially pieced baby quilt.
1 with most of the pieces cut but no piecing.
1 almost F-$@*&ed!

Chairjogger.. just like Patrice.. I too had to give up counting as there are so many one of these days I will be caught in an avalanche of UFOs and other projects ready to be "Finished"!! :) and I don't help matters either when I add more to the pile!! LOL
I too am just doing a little random topic lurking.. I have 10 more minutes to quitting time! :)

I love to read this and think that I am not alone. My kids think I'm crazy because I have 9 quilts that are sandwiched and ready to quilt sitting on my son's bed. (he left in Nov with the Navy) I did work on 3 of those this weekend, but they still need the binding finished and labels because they are wedding gifts. I have 5 more that are tops without boarders, 2 ready to be sandwiched, and a collection of 11 different block of the month, or block exchanges that need to be put together. There is another 4 sets of blocks that I made that need joining. I am not going to count the rest of the grouped with patterns PITS (projects in tubs) It is way too embarrassing.

i have discovered one advantage to having a pile of UFOs.
when an unexpected occassion comes up for which i need a special gift in a hurry, i can WIP a UFO out of the pile, polish it off, and hand it over. one less UFO; somebody gets something they will treasure; everybody thinks your some kinda genius super-quilter because you "just found out about it" and were able to deliver a quilt in a "jiffy".
:wink:
