You ladies are doing great. Wish I only had 7 UFOs. Maybe 7 boxes! I did finish a project but not a UFO. I was asked to crochet some hats for the magic yarn project so now that they are finished I am starting on all these unfinished things laying around. Though I decided to make pillowcases for the grands for Valentines. Okay when they are finished I will start. Now that my name is on the list I have to do it! Thanks for holding me accountable, my friends!

I totally get it Kim! I keep getting side tracked from my UFOs to work on new projects. I need more hours in my day. Then I might be caught up lol!

Working on the Halloween table topper I started for my daughter. On the hand quilting part. I work on it in the late morning and evening so I should have it finished before too long. This thread is great for keeping accountable to get it done.

I started painting a UFO today. It shouldn't take me to long other than drying time. I'm ready to get my first UFO done. Especially since it's 2 years old.

I got out my sewing machine this evening and mended 3 pairs of jeans that have been sitting since last summer and I made a waterproof apron since my old one was worn out. The apron wasn't a UFO but the jeans were. It will be a blessing to have them again. Felt good to get them out of my sewing/craft room and back in the dresser.
Can't wait to see what you're painting Krista.

Great job Dianna and Jill on completing some UFOs! Still didn't finish mine. I have been side tracked with a super sick dog. I think she might finally be on the mend. I'm going to finish it tonight. I will be sure to share a picture!

Finished my first UFO! About 2 years ago my dog got ahold of one of my wood blocks and chewed it. I have been using it still since then but have always wanted to remake a replacement. I finally got it done! I'm so excited to see it all pretty again. Of course since it's been 2 years the wood styles have changed, but I still like it.

Thanks Kim and Grace! Grace, she is a little stinker. I'm so glad she is finally out of her chewing stage. She was even known for stealing my kids stuff animals and tearing them apart. I'm just glad I got it finished before I Spring time lol.

Thank you Jill! It's such an addiction for me. Crafting is what keeps my sanity! Probably why I end up with so many projects!

I decided to finish UFOs this year, too. Due to tendonitis, i had to let my crochet and knitting go. It honestly is a blessing. Now I can focus on sewing and quilting. I finished two five year old quilts, and many other small projects I had in my sewing box. Now I'm in a block of the month club, but I am using my new skills to help me finish UFOs. I'm really excited about it!!!

The block letters are BEAUTIFUL Krista and you did a great job matching it with your other letters!!! Yea, one UFO done for 2019, huh?
Still working on these aprons! I am an awful seamstress/ sew-er lol! I procrastinate so much when it comes to that!

everyone is working hard, good job. The projects are beautiful that everyone is doing. I have kind of stalled out lately. Can't get interested in anything. I did finally make soap last weekend and hope to do two more batches this weekend. But that is not a ufo, just something that needed to get done. As far as ufo's i seem to be making more then finishing. Got to get inspired.

Way to go Amanda! You are off to a great start!
Thanks Dianna! I am super happy to have one down. I need to decide what I'm doing next. I keep starting new projects which isn't helping lol. But it's time to get one more finished.
I am the same way Michele. I keep starting new projects and not even finishing any old ones. And this year has just been crazy. There is just so much I want to do I can't stay focused.

Way to go Krista, they look great. Amanda, you are an inspiration. I'm still working on my whole quilt. This is year 5. To my defense, it is a king size, what was I thinking LOL

Krista, those are so cute! I decided I don't want any more UFOs...I have given so many UFOs to thrift stores. Ughhhh. So I am determined to keep on knocking out these really old projects one at a time. When I am all done I think I deserve a reward of more fabric or something. LOL
Theresa, I know what you mean!!! And if you are hand piecing/quilting.... :O Even more work!
This weekend I finished my February block of the month and made a dish drying mat for our counters. Tired of using 2-3 little towels so I made a quilted 25" x 25" square yesterday. It is "ugly as sin" as we say, but it will get the job done. At least the fabric is cute.
