I don't even want to think of my UFO's because I'll get depressed. Right now I have 6 sets of placemats made, but they need to be sandwiched and quilted, 12 strawberry appliqued mug rugs (for a Strawberry Festival June 25)), 3 table runner to sandwich and quilt, I have the blades made for a king size Dresden Plate quilt for DS and DDIL, a large tree skirt top (will finish after the Strawberry Festival), 5 baby quilts, 2 of which are for twins that are probably a month old already, another quilt for the daughter of a dear friend, she will probably be a year old before it's finished, as it's applique and pieced (what was I thinking?) and the list goes on, including quilt blocks sent to me by a SIL in Ohio, all embroidered state birds - the kicker is that she said "no hurry" (that's the worst thing someone can say to me), and the list goes on. In all fairness to my UFO's, two years ago I had a torn rotator cuff repair, then almost exactly a year ago next month, I had a complete shoulder replacement, so for 2 years I was not able to quilt very much at all. I started recovering, when I took a series of 6 falls in 2 months, with hospitalization and 2 months of rehab. Now I finally start feeling better and I tore the rotator cuff in my other shoulder. JOY!! The Dr. didn't recommend repair surgery, which I agree with, but to go ahead and get the new shoulder, as he said I didn't need 2 surgeries, and the shoulder replacement had a faster and easier recovery. That said, I will wait as long as possible for the replacement, but right now I can still do several hours of sewing/quilting, so I'm concentrating on the Strawberry Festival where I can make some "mad money" to buy more fabric. LOL.
