SUGGESTION: The last time I organized my sewing area, I removed anything NOT sewing related (and gained a bit of space). Then I put all my WIP, UFO, and collections together on one shelving unit. This unit is BEFORE my new fabrics and magazines and books. I HAVE to see them before I start something new. I'M IN - will post list later this week Blessings, MaryAnna |
oh, I have them counted..38 queen quilts already started, 18 swap block sets ready to be put into something, 14 table runners, 22 candle mats, 18 wall hangings(in assorted sizes), 4 tote bags, 23 aprons, 8 pillow cases, 6 quilter's necessaries, 8 pin cushions, and I am still digging them out!
|
I'm in. Want this year to be more productive have ufo's to count. Thanks for getting us motivated.
|
I can't find mine to count yet. I am starting to go through my house one room at a time, and get rid of anything I haven't used in a year or two. One person just doesn't need all of this stuff, and I know I will be a happier person when it is finished. In the process I will find everything and get it organized.
I do know what I am starting with. 1. Super Fast Pink Jelly Roll quilt for my Great Niece. 2. Baby quilt, Single Irish Chain, Focal fabric that has Monkeys. |
Maryanna, I HAVE TO say yes!!! It's getting ridiculous at my house. So yes, I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
|
I went through my sewing room (is messier now than before!!) and this is what I found for my ufo's:
1. 2 quillows to tie (supposed to be Christmas gifts) 2. english wedding cut out and partially put together queen 3. red irish chain queen 4. red wallhanging 5.baby quilt to be quilted (new granddaughter 6 weeks old tomorrow) 6. blue dbl wedding ring queen 7. green log cabin king 8. handpieced flower garden king 9. hand pieced lemoyne star twin 10. burgoyne surrounded twin 11. dresden plate queen 12 expiermental log cabin (dont no what else to call it) full 13. ggrandmothers top quilt 14 more ggrandmothers blocks to put together 15. my grandmother embroidered quilt blocks before her cision got too bad, have 4 2 quilt and 4 to put together (do they count?) Thats what I have found so far...think I will stop looking!! lol |
I can see I will be in GOOD company as I tackle my UFO list this year!
|
I honestly have no idea where to start. baby quilt and quillows as they will b the easiest and fastest to do. After seeing some of the postings, I do not feel so bad about my huge list! I have every intention of sticking to this..just have to stay out of lqs!!

Fabric Diet - I like that term. I am off today and as soon as the house warms up (it's nippy in CA today) and I can pull myself away from the QB I WILL start on some UFOs. The pile is still impressive and I have two Robins looming.
On the other hand - my new favorite LQS is going out og business and they are at 50% on everything.....heavy sigh. |
Hey Wip & UFO gang,
Another member of the board also recommended a yahoo group called stashbusters, they've got a Wip/Whim/Pigs and a separate UFO challenge categories. They 'charge' a fee of 2 FQ's & 50 cents (for mail) for the UFO group and I think 7, 2.5" strips of fabric & mail costs for the Wip group. At the end of the year a 'winner' will receive the FQ's in UFO group & all the 2.5" strips from the Wips group.....sort of an incentive to finish. They too offer support, creative challenges, etc. If you'd like to join that group as well as this one, that would be great. In any case, on this thread we'll have creative 'challenges' along the way to finish up our projects. Hugs to all! MaryAnna |

I know of several of my wips & whims that I will have to buy some more fabric to complete as I don't always buy my backing or binding fabric when I buy my project fabric. But I'll try shopping my stash first. Blessings, MaryAnna |

Ok WIP & UFO gang..... it's the 31st! By today you should have found your projects, or at least a few to get started on tomorrow. The 1st is our start date and if you're over booked on that day, try to do 15 mins to a half hour of sewing/quilting on a project sometime on the 1st.
I work 2 jobs, so I need to work in some time everyday in order to get things done. We'll have some 'quilt retreat' weekends and/or PJ parties (all night sewing sessions) planned. So that should help out. Let us all know if you've got a special night to devote to projects and have your own PJ party....we might be able to join in! Let's check in with each other weekly at least to see how we're doing, and don't forget to post pictures! We can do this! Even me with 33 projects. Blessings, MaryAnna |
I can't make a list, but I have a general idea of where they all are ... fortunately, for the most part, I keep unfinished things close to me. The PJ parties ought to be interesting. I will be watching to see whether I can participate or not, but I know I am a good cheerleader <g> <wave>

I would like to join in also. I don't have a list put together yet. Last year I did this and used a grease board to write my UFO's down. It was so much fun to wipe another UFO off the board. I plan on doing this again this year and I plan to add the one block a month I signed up for to the list. I'm inspired by you all

Some inspiration for all of us! I injured my back yesterday afternoon while undecking the halls...fa la la..... so I was really bad off today and called in sick. So, with heating pad on my back in the sewing chair.....I finished the 1st UFO on my list! I finished my DS's Penn Dutch Quilt (his Christmas present), I cut the binding (not easy with back problems), sewed the binding, etc. and did a label on the back.
The top quilting was done by Carol the LA, she did a great job, but got it done the Monday before Christmas. I can scratch 1 off of my 'list'....now for the other 32! Happy New Year and Many Blessings to all, MaryAnna full view [ATTACH=CONFIG]150821[/ATTACH] close up of quilting [ATTACH=CONFIG]150822[/ATTACH] another view with backing showing a bit [ATTACH=CONFIG]150823[/ATTACH] |
