    One a month, One a month, One a month..I can do it!
    You know there is a Dear Jane Thread on QB that is starting in January. You should join so you can get that Dear Jane Finished. I could not hurt to keep you directed. I am almost finished with a WIP, just have to get it quilted and binded and will post it probably Monday. I am geting my longarm this weekend so won't be doing much piecing, just quilting.

    I'd like to join up. I have so many UFO's. I teach a beginner's class 2 x a year and now an intermediate class as well. I make 4 samples a year and many times don't finish them up. Add these to my other projects that get abandoned and the UFO's are growing. Mine don't fly out to Rosewell either. This will inspire me to get going!

    Are you going to continue this for 2012? I could use the inspiration to get some tops sandwiched and bound. I also have a bunch of kits that will probably become UFO's soon. LOL

    I think, on this one, it just depends on if people keep posting here , it will keep going. Since it's not a "swap" it's more of a "support" or "kick in the hiney" page so it's never ending, lol someone will always need this page. Kudos to LucyInTheSky,for starting this much needed thread!!!!!!!!!!!

    I joined this group to keep me on track. I certainly hope we will all stay in touch here and keep each other moving forward. I need this to help stay disciplined. I need someone to tell I finished it. I met a goal.

    I need to join this quilting challenge also. In September I decided that I would not buy any quilting patterns or fabric until I finished everything I had started. In October I decided if I finished 1 UFO I could buy a pattern and when I finished 2 I could get the fabric. The first of November I decided I would buy the fabric and pattern and then I would finish something. I need HELP....

    LOL!!! I did practically the same thing. I made a deal with myself to finish multiple things before buying anything. I was so excited that I finished something in August, that I started something else (at least it was from my stash)...and now it sits too! Clearly, I can't help but I can relate.

I have 24 angel ornaments ready to add the halo and the wings, I have 20 owl ornaments ready to stuff and sew up, I have 15 ornaments stuffed and ready to close up. I hope to close up the sewing ones tomorrow. then I have 10 wall hangings to do and 60 placemats to finish, 2 baby blankets, 1 A&M and 1 UT lap blankets to finish o and I have 12 banners to make with the different names of Jesus, for my sisters Christmas program at her church. and 5 blocks to finish for another swap. I think then I'll be caught up? as you can see I will be around here for A WHILE lol

    You can count me in. I am the world's worst when it comes to going into my LQS, I've got several that need finishing up. I simply can't buy anymore before finishing what I have to do. :> But I sure do like to go in and look!

    You don't think you have 12 UFO's ???? I too am impressed!!! And I think this deserves some kind of award, don't the rest of you???? BUT I want to go on record saying that I would be more than willing to 'share' my UFO's with you if you just needed something to do!!!
