Scrappy will be the theme. Or at least Sampler- lots of variety in projects. I have a couple large totes of scraps I really wish would shrink- no matter how much I pull from them they never seem to go down! Magical things. I also have a large tote of flannels- and denim need to make some raggy quilts.
so many projects so little time.
along with the moratorium on buying I’m also going to concentrate on finishing UFOs.
here is my cleaned up shelves, my pulled stash for the mystery quilt and my scrap tote.
Sometime this weekend I hope to organize UFOs
OMG This could have been written by me!!! (By the way, I'm from MI also - maybe there is something to this?) The Good Fortune - Bonnie Hunter - was one I wasn't going to do, until I realized I had all the fabrics in my stash. So, yup I had to do it. Fortunately I have followed through and I'm on the last part. I think I will use my left overs on the backing. Planning to finish 1 UFO (minimum) per month. And, plan on sewing every day, no matter how much my block of time should be.
