I had to stress and hurry to finish my Christmas sewing and it took all of the fun out of it. So MY resolution is that 2015 will be a year without any quilting deadlines! I have a ton of UFO's I want to get finished and some new projects I've been antsy to start so I have lots planned, but no deadlines!

I already have started finishing my tops. I have backing and batting, just have to sandwich, quilt, and bind.
this year I have to finish what I have started before I get involved with new projects.
(we'll see how long THIS lasts. )

I finished up almost all of my Christmas sewing on Christmas day but have one wall hanging to put the binding and hanging sleeve on. My[ATTACH=CONFIG]504274[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]504275[/ATTACH] UFOs are two baby quilts that were supposed to be finished in November. The tops are done but I'm stalled on how to quilt them.

You sound like me. I told myself, no more swaps or quilts for anyone until I finish the quilts from all the swaps and the one I've been HQ'ng forever ( it always seems to be put on the side) but I LOVE doing the swaps and stuff, but my things never seem to get done for me. UGH. But so far I've not committed myself for anything in 2015.

I am also behind on things I have cut out to sell. I have wall hangings, table cloths, table runners, and place mats. Some are ready to quilt and bind, while other are just cut out. Oh I have some children's cloth books to make also. I am getting all this out of the way before I start another quilt. Good luck to all of you and lets get back and see how we are coming alone.

I WILL get one quilt to the quilter next week (I see her on Tuesday's at the guild work day). The binding is ready for when the quilt comes back home -- each time I get a quilt back from the quilter I WILL take another one in to be finished. I have so many finished quilt tops stashed away in various places. I want to get them finished! I also have a goal of getting 25 appliqued blocks done by the end of March -- I'm currently on block 15. I WILL get my grandson's baseball quilt pieced and quilted by June, 2015.
This year I did finish the last quilt on Christmas Eve day -- but in my defense I helped one granddaughter make 4 purses as gifts, along with 4 batches of lip gloss, and helped another granddaughter make a fleece tied blanket for her boyfriend. All in the last 7 days before Christmas.
