I'm LOVING all these finishes, everyone!! It will be interesting to see what our final count for 2016 will be... and then... **GASP** will we set our sights even higher for 2017?

I KNOW I'm not going to get any more UFO's completed. I have one of three customer quilts loaded on my frame, and I'm doing the Bonnie Hunter MQ, so both of those situations preclude my finishing anything else from the UFO pile. But I DID meet my personal goal of 12 (one per month) for the year, so I'm very happy with that!

However... when I gifted a lady at church with several boxes of fabric, I (once again) rearranged stuff, so I have a very clear idea of the UFO's I will be tackling next year. How many are there? I don't know for sure, but I'd say somewhere around 30... or maybe 40... or... possibly 50.

Anyway, there is now a little more room in my sewing room, due to the gifted fabric, and one customer quilt (with matching pillows) going out the door. And I am even more committed to next year's UFO AND the Fabric Moratorium. I have a couple of ladies from church wanting to see my sewing room, and wanting me to teach them quilting... so I REALLY need to make room... so, again, more incentive for me to really hammer down on those UFO's.
Hmmm, I may just teach them how to longarm too, and if they finish some of the less-than-beautiful flimsies, then gift them with them (if they want them), that will help finish some UFO's too!
