If you've noticed my sidebar, I've started my list of UFOs I want to work on each month of 2019. I had to revise the list a couple of times when I couldn't find a couple of the UFOs, but I think I've found all those currently listed. Some are so near completion that it won't take more than a week or two to finish, and some have so little work done on them that they will take a couple of months, so I broke their work down into smaller goals. I'd like to only work on UFOs next year, but I know that won't happen. Some new project will catch my eye, I hope, and I'll start it too. I'm just determined not to let any more become UFOs.
I have a couple of other small goals for 2019, but my biggest goal will be to have a clean space to sew, even if it does have to be in the attic. I'll probably spend a lot of time dreaming about a finished sewing space when and if we ever finish the attic. I'd also like to make that Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam quilt that my mother wanted.
Sewing Depression Blocks over and over makes my mind wander a bit and I think I've spent too much time dreaming while I sew. In the meantime, I've been working on my clamshell wallhanging which I've temporarily named Puppy and Fox. I need to find out if Puppy and Fox have real names. I didn't like the straight line of clamshells, so took them off and made staggered lines. Much better. I'm not sure what kind of eyes I am going to put on the fox, but it can be done later.

I made a Clam Shells quilt. I absolutely love your Fox among the Clams!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about all my UFOs too, vowing to not start any new quilts until I knock out a few finishes. My guild's quilt show is in June 2019 and I need to finish a few for the show. Unfortunately, I think I've already signed on for two new quilts. Can you believe it????? I wish you more determination than I apparently have. Lol!
Maybe I'm just more desperate. lol I hope I don't start any new quilts, but I'm not going to say I absolutely won't. Good luck with your show quilts. I can't wait to see those.
DeleteThis quilt is going to be adorable! Love the fox peaking out from the other clam shells.
ReplyDeleteThank you. My new little grandsons have favorite stuffed animals, a fox and a puppy. So I thought they might like this.
DeleteThis is a good idea to see what UFO's I have that are almost complete. And then vow to finish them. I shall make such a list in January. Thanks for linking with Design Wall Mondays, I like to read your blog and see what you are working on. Judy
ReplyDeleteThank you. I pulled some of my UFOs out last night and was surprised (and disappointed in myself) that several are soooo close to being finished.
DeleteYou've got a great list of UFOs for next year. I'm going taking the approach of working on each project till it's finished. I'm hoping that will mean more finishes next year. I love your Puppy and Fox project! Too cute!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope the boys like it too. You never know about boys. I think finishing is going to be my approach too, but this year I'm not going to try to finish a different UFO every month. Some of them just need too much work, so I've divided them into workable portions.
DeleteI think your Fox needs little beady black eyes set quite close together! I'm sure your WIP organisation will work out well as you have made some thoughtful steps and goals. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I bought the cutest little beads the other day that will work for both Fox and Puppy. But I'm going to wait until it is quilted since they will hang up the machine.
