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
