(Her little table isn't conducive to having space to quilt) A lot of them are tops that are finished.
I've been home since my accident before Thanksgiving and now that I feel better I plan to get some of them done. I'll be home for at least another month. Sooooo....hopefully.
I'll join you all for the Friday night sew. (At least until I can no longer see straight.)
You've got a plan...and that's the great news! It sounds like you're retired or don't work outside the home...so you might just be able to get 117 done! I work 2 full time jobs, so that number is waaay outside my reach.

Yes, Friday night is our all night quilting party...so I'm gearing up. I know I won't be able to 'greet the morning's dawn' as I've got the daysift on this Saturday, but I will stay up as long as possible, maybe 1am or so. I've got to put on a scrappy border on the Mystery BOM quilt and I'll be done with piecing it.

Blessings,
MaryAnna

Sadiemae & QM, well you two have taught me a new word...flimises! I don't have any of those left to do, but I'm hoping I'll get to that stage soon....

Attention Gang,
Tomorrow is the last Friday of the Month....it's our 'Par-tay'.....sewing all night par-tay!
Wear what's comfortable, robes & fuzzy slippers etc, line up your project, and we'll be sewing the night away.

Join us and stay up as long as you can. You'll be surprised how much you can get done when you block off several hours of un-interruped time!

I'll log into this thread when I start, and then quickly get off the QB and head to sewing room.

Blessings,
MaryAnna

Okay, I am new to the board, so way behind you guys! But I have many wip and low on cash, so I will work on those in progress as well. We just moved (in progress) we are building our home (will be in progress for ever) lived in a tent then camper most of summer, lots of stuff still in storage, but most of sewing stuff now here-in totes. Have relocated many things I had forgotten about. Will get started asap.

A big welcome to bevysue57! Jump right in, do what you can. You've got to find your projects first, then organize them in some sort of 'order' so you can get your hands on them. I'd say tackle the ones with the least of amount of work to get done first, and so on and so forth. Check them off of your 'list' and don't forget to post a pic of them! We're all on a 'fabric diet' of sorts, no buying new fabric, unless we need it to finish up on a UFO or WIP...ie, backing, binding, etc...whatever we actually need to complete our project.

Don't forget about our 'last Friday of every month party', it's an all nighter. Or stay up as long as possible and work on your project.
Blessings,
MaryAnna

You are a brave soul. I think I am too hold and too tired to sleep in a tent. Camper wouldn't be quite so bad except the bed would not be pleasant for my back. A new house though, would be wonderful. Mine is one of the oldest in the the town I live in. Hope you get sewing soon.
