Another year - More UFOs.
Let's make an intention to get some of our UFOs recategorized as FOs. Get your list ready, post it here, and receive support.
Happy Crafty!

It's always wonderful to finish up UFO's! They're all great, but I really like the ornament runner. Do you happen to know what pattern it is?

Giving away UFOs is a good way to start a new crafter on their UFO stash. LOL
I am currently focusing on mending. So far, I have had to mend two of DH's pajama pants - one of them twice. I am also updating my UFO list for the UFO Badge. I am on the Intermediate step of culling the list.

Several of the UFO projects were inherited when my cousin passed away around 10 years ago. The white and green table runner and the wreath were 2 of hers. She started them and I finally finished them. I will probably send them to her daughter in California.

I love the baby afghan, Debbie. What is the name of the pattern you are using?
Marie - I just keep finding more UFOs when I look for some that need completion. I have several projects that I will probably donate because I won't finish them. I take many patterns and fabric pieces to my guild meetings, where we have a table of giveaway items free for the taking.

Hi, Girls! How is everyone doing with their UFOs? So far I have completed almost half of the original list! I am very proud of the work that I have done. I have been working on a quilting project, and then I work on a UFO. It seems that this idea has been working for me. I am not getting burned out on quilting or UFOs by trading off! Yippee! I still have quite a few this to get finished. . .do we ever really get done? Bubt, in the process, I am having fun and I have such a feeling of accomplishment when I have old and new completed! Happy crafting!

I am working on finishing a bag that I can't remember when I started it other than that I was at my Sister's in Oregon. It had to have been before our Mother died in 2021. Anyway, I am working on it now and plan to have it finished soon. My Granddaughter, Brooklyn, loves it because it is made from material with bees on it! Bee is her nickname! She doesn't realize that I was making it for her from the beginning, but she does now! She can't wait for it to be finished either! Yippee!

Thanks, Karen! I can use all the encouragement that I can get. My craft room is in a real state of confusion. Every time I go in there, I try to put something else away or organize one small part of it. It is looking better, and I am becoming more successful as the days move on. This are getting finished or added to the UFO list. Things are getting put into bags so that I know what is where. I got some overdoor hangers to help organize projects in progress. they really seem to be helping because I can see what I need to work on without having to dig through boxes, bins, or piles of stuff.

I have really been getting into sewing again! I have been working on my UFOs and getting things completed. Yippee! It is so eye-opening when I realize that I was sometimes only 15 minutes from completion of a project when I put it away!!! Frustrating, too! I have not been able to use some things because I was only a few minutes from finishing them! ARRRGGGG!! Now when I work on something, I try to finish it immediately!

Marie, do not be anxious! I can promise you that you will be the only one who would know if you messed something up. That is the beauty of handmade. No 2 things The same. The mold of society now is so unrealistic and actually unhealthy. You got this! You are brave and can do amazing things!

Many of my pieces need small fixes. I'm just too anxious to do them because I want them to look good or perfect or for some other reason. Lately, I have tried convincing myself that I can do it and all will be well. The trend of visible mending helps me feel more impowered to just "let it show".
The bag that I pictured above took me about 5 years to finish. I had a pattern which I didn't always trust, and I started it over several times because if the start isn't right nothing else would be. I also realized that I had inadvertently added width on the band just before the straps so that it looked as if it were "fanning" out. That also was frogged and redone. I am now making another one in yellow and will take what I have learned from this one. It is going somewhat faster now.
I guess all I can say is: Be brave. Step out of the familiar. Take risks.
Yes, that is I.

Only 164 on your UFO list, Marie? WOW! I am sure I have more than that.
Many of my UFOs this year are for clothing items I have plans to re-make. That includes making a skirt from an oval tablecloth, adding a ruffle to a too-short skirt, finishing the strip-quilted sweatshirt jacket (it just needs binding), and adding vintage embroidered pieces to a denim jacket, among others.

I have finally finished piecing the quilt top for the quilt I have been working on forever it seems! It is a Quilt Of Valor for my husband's uncle who was a Navy Seal, The Bullfrog when he retired, and highly decorated.
I am getting it ready for quilting. I am new to longarm quilting, so it probably won't be perfect! It will, however, be quilted with the utmost love and respect for his service! I will post photos when it is completed.
