    I'll get cracking on finding all of my wips & ufos and I'll post a 'before' picture along with my count, and my priority list. Let's all post our lists & count by January 1st, and a 'before' picture would be great as well.

    How does the last day (or last Friday night) of every month sound for an 'all night PJ party?' Or you can pick a better night, just let me know. we'll quilt away the night in comfort!

    Blessings to all,
    MaryAnna

    Fabric Diet - I like that term. I am off today and as soon as the house warms up (it's nippy in CA today) and I can pull myself away from the QB I WILL start on some UFOs. The pile is still impressive and I have two Robins looming.

    On the other hand - my new favorite LQS is going out og business and they are at 50% on everything.....heavy sigh.

    Hey Wip & UFO gang,

    Another member of the board also recommended a yahoo group called stashbusters, they've got a Wip/Whim/Pigs and a separate UFO challenge categories. They 'charge' a fee of 2 FQ's & 50 cents (for mail) for the UFO group and I think 7, 2.5" strips of fabric & mail costs for the Wip group. At the end of the year a 'winner' will receive the FQ's in UFO group & all the 2.5" strips from the Wips group.....sort of an incentive to finish. They too offer support, creative challenges, etc.

    If you'd like to join that group as well as this one, that would be great.

    In any case, on this thread we'll have creative 'challenges' along the way to finish up our projects.


    Hugs to all!
    MaryAnna

    Hey MadQuilter! Join in our fun....yes, I know a 'fabric diet' sounds harsh, but it's not, sometimes we do have to get control of things in our lives. If you have opportunity to find fabric at great prices, then it's a good time to review your projects and if you need fabric to complete them, well purchase the fabric you need. And that's the trick, purchasing what you need as opposed to buying just to be buying.
    I know of several of my wips & whims that I will have to buy some more fabric to complete as I don't always buy my backing or binding fabric when I buy my project fabric. But I'll try shopping my stash first.

    Blessings,
    MaryAnna
