Well, if I were to finish all my UFO's by the end of the year (so NOT going to happen!!
), we would be well over the 400 mark!! I am going to make an effort to finish at least one more by the end of November, and at least two for December. I have to use my vacation days before the end of the year, and I was working that out with my boss today. So, I have 5 days at Thanksgiving (Turkey Day, the Friday after, the weekend, and that Monday) and I will get from Dec 23-Jan 2 off as well. So, SURELY I will get some of these UFO's knocked out during that time!!
For me this year, I have already met my personal goal of 12 (the equivalent of 1 per month). But, in addition to the 12, I also finished two customer quilts, of which one of those went to my very first show, MQX Midwest. AND, (not to be lightly dismissed) I did some major reorganizing in my sewing room.
My biggest accomplishment this year was getting up the courage to submit a quilt to a show. I'd never done that before, and while I didn't win a ribbon, just getting accepted was enough to thrill me down to my toes!! Maybe I will submit the quilts I made for our Longarm Guild challenge to whatever show comes next.
Just out of curiosity, if we did a tally right now, how many lurking UFO's do we have altogether? If we hit 400 this year, will we set our sights on 500 next year?
Since I did my reorganization a couple weeks ago, I think I have about 32 UFO's. How about it, UFO-train riders? How many do you still have waiting?
