UFO LIST

I have not sew in two months.  I have though created a list of 'things to do'.  Here they are:

1. - Nancy's table runner (a friend made one and gave me pieces to make my own - now to do it!!)
2. -Weekend Fun kit!!  From Connecting Threads - got it plus backing to make ASAP  (famous last words)
3. - 1 1/4" 4 patches - for the 4 patch challenge that magazine is doing (American Quilter?? I think so) Yeah, I picked the smallest one to do.  I am thinking it will not be a very big project but I do want to keep working on the pieces.....
4. -Borders:  Jan's UFO Christmas Quilt & Feb Triangle quilt, mitered borders: these need be done and taken to the quilters
5. -Rag Quilt UFO  - Aprils.......
6. - UFO BOM that uses Nancy's (my friends!) rulers - get it done and get these tools back to their owner!!!!
7. - Little letters quilt on design wall.  Yup, still there - not impressed with myself on this one.........
8. - Bonnie Hunters latest mystery.  This is started but now in a bag and no longer living on my cutting table.  I want it done.  I bought all the fabrics for it, I did not have much to pull from my stash, so this is a commitment and I want it now out of it's bag and DONE.
9. -Quiltmakers new mystery. Yup. Bought this fabric and it and the magazine(s) for it are waiting to be started.......
10. -Bonnie Hunter:  two of her quilts from different books are started and waiting to be worked on.
Jamestown  is one.   Fair & Square is the other.   Both close to the finish line but still need some work.  wow.  Nope, not done with this list yet but close.......
11. -Baby Quilt - not sure which one but I want one done a month.
12. -Victoria Finely's Crumb Quilt.  I can not think of the name right now but it is on the cover of her book and on the cover of a magazine she was in.  It literally uses up crumbs of fabric in your sewing room  and I have made the 12" blocks for it, now I just need to get busy on the smaller ones.......
13.-The kit that I bought when I bought the fabric for the latest Bonnie Hunter mystery.

There could be more - I have found more things - but I think this is enough.


Hope this helps get and keep me on track..... now to just get back in there and making it all come together.  When I was working I seemed to get more done - funny how that works.  When you have all day it takes that and more - at least for me it seems to be that way.
Brenda!!

  2. Woman... your list looks like the inside of my brain. And that's scary. How do you focus? (Or is focus even the point?) I am having trouble also with the "not working" lack-of-routine. I found that it helps me to have a sewing time daily--and it happens to coincide with a radio program I like to listen to, so that helps me keep to an actual, scheduled block of time. That way it doesn't matter which of my many projects I am working on, at least I am making progress on a regular basis.
    I look forward to seeing your progress! You can do it.

    1. Thank you Alla - I do want to get myself back to sewing regularly but right now I am not doing that, which does not help with this list!!!!! I love the radio idea - I have done audio books to keep me in there sewing and listening - that works for me so I should go find one I want to hear. And I want to see progress on this list too, before I go add to it.......!!!

  4. I have kinda taken a break but I can not seem to get on this (stupid!!!!) blog. I have no idea what is the problem, but it is probably just me being so out of practice that I have forgotten what to do..... Gotta love it, but wanted to say Merry Christmas and here is to a more productive year than this one has been!! ((hugs))
