I ruthlessly cleaned my sewing area/supplies. If I wanted to finish a project then it went on one shelf and it was put on a list that hangs just inside my sewing cabniet. If I knew I wasn't going to finishe it I either threw it away or gave it away or traded. This was applied to sewing/quilting notions as well. It is a JOY to open my cabniet and see things I like and inspire me to sew.

I have a friend with a long arm machine. She is SUPER reasonable with what she charges. I buy my batting on sale from Hancocks or Joanns and once a month I give my friend a quilt top to do. When I get that one back then I give her another one. With each top she will email me what it will cost to quilt it and I plan that into my budget for the month.

My goal is to have finished my UFOs by the end of the year, I have been at this process for two years now. I will also be out of fabric at the end of the year. From now on I plan to only do one project at a time.

I have only one long term project and that is a quilt from silk neckties.
