I understand the crying part. Been up in that room sorting and have not sewn a stitch on a granny gown I promised my daughter and it's getting cold.

Sometimes the bin just needs to sit for a bit, so I can gain enthusiasm, new skills, or a repair strategy.

I do not want to open up that closet of UFO's. I am very afraid I will get buried.

Just think how good you'll feel when it's all done! :)

Oh, no, don't cry....having fabric is a good thing! No matter how much or how messy!

I have started to sort my fabrics by color and size. Some are in the sewing room, some in a spare bedroom. But, that spare bedroom is needed for wrapping and storing the Christmas presents! Oh MY!! Don't know when it will get done!

Our guild had a UFO challenge. You register your UFOs and put $1.00 for each one in a kitty. Every time you finished a project (and showed it at a guild meeting) your name was put into the "hat." When the challenge was over, a name was drawn and the winner got all the cash. I don't now how many UFOs got done, but the winner got $238!

I entered eight and got two finished. Better than I would have done without the challenge.

It is difficult keeping up with all of it! Started pulling fabric for a project so it is on the ironing board, along with the fabric needed to finish a WIP, and the completed binding for a quilt that is going to be quilted on Tuesday. Also have fabric for two grandkids quilts on that board -- they want to help with the sewing. Guess that is why I rarely iron anything but fabric!

I have a few that are almost finished. I just need to finish organizing them. Then I will figure out where I was before we moved and they shouldn't be too much to finish up. Thank you for the encouragement!!
