I have pulled out (8) ufo quilt tops I need to finish. I know I have 3 bags with real ( ufos) Quilts that still have work to go to become tops- I sent away a lot of orphans I was sure I would never finish, which was nice to have gone, but I keep finding more.
i found some new motivation- I truly want to invest in new sewing room furniture and get my studio finished ( the new lights have been in boxes, laying on the floor for almost 5 years. The room is so overwhelming with clutter I need to finish things up so I can get out of the way. I’ve tried to be realistic with what I passed on and kept. I’m sure I will pass on more as I go along. I think I will try to snap a few pictures of the ufos stacked up and get busy. I’m getting better at time management, it was a pretty tough winter. But I’m making progress and staying motivated.

Thank you, Bug Lady!!
ckcowl...new studio furniture would be exciting...good luck on your goal and congrats on the new babies coming your way.
I have not started a new project yet. Just been piddling around making pincushions using up some scraps. These are fun to make.

Thanks, Bug Lady!
My studio to do list says I've got a couple of things that have fast approaching due dates, but I am jonesing to start a new project, something, anything- even if it just means pulling fabric out willy-nilly and stitching it together..... I think that tells me I've got a serious case of the "I don't wanna's"
Ok, back to working on the loopy faced binding for a collaborative quilt I've got to get finished by next month. At least it counts as a UFO.

I managed to get (2) of my ufo tops quilted— now need to do the bindings and load up another one. Getting them quilted is definitely a boost to my motivation. I will try to get some pictures this weekend- I don’t think we have a bunch of plans.

UFO After All
I did have a UFO-a lot of blocks my daughter gave me after she lost her joy in quilting. Modified log cabin blocks, many with sashing already sewn on. The trouble was, her machine was giving her lots of tension issues & ALL the seams were very poor. I took out every seam which wasn't a chore since one side of them was so loose. I redid all the seams & put on sashing. All such pieces were cut so I only had to sew things together. I've put it all together, quilted it, & finished the binding on Tuesday. A friend in the hospital will get it on Friday when I go see her. So-a completed UFO for April!
I have a new phone which isn't showing the option to upload a photo, so I'll have to do that from my computer I guess.

Congrats, ladies, on your finishes...
This is is the longest (1 week) I have gone that I have not started a big project. It feels weird. Lol...I have just been playing with small projects. Made a bunch of pincushions from scraps to use up a bag of crushed walnuts, cut scraps into the sizes I inventory, made some more 2" 9p, last night I EPP 65 hexi's. First time I EPP...didn't realize it would go so fast. Lol.. I ran out of paper hexi's so running to store to buy more. Have no idea what I'll do with them yet just thought I'd make some and be inspired....and to quit feeling lazy..lol..

Thank you SBG. I sure wish I still had my iPhone. Frustrating issues with the "find my phone app" made it necessary to get a Samsung Galaxy. I dislike this platform & now the QB doesnt give an option to upload photos from this phone.
