UFOs

I can't believe I took the time to actually go through my two huge UFO bins and list all my UFOs. I also took pictures and linked them. I'm embarrassed to admit I have 23 of them. Please tell me I'm not alone! If you want a peek at them, check out the list on the right of my page. One of them I have no clue what it was supposed to be; and another from when I started out about 12 years ago shows a complete and utter lack of contrast. Don't even know if I'll finish that one up -- but I feel so wasteful if I don't...

To make myself feel a bit better, I'm planning on soon uploading pics of those quilts I've completed and have in my possession and also hope to track down some pics of the many that I've given as gifts. I know I won't have pics of them all, because starting out in the quilting world I just didn't realize how important it all was in the grand scheme of things. Of course, now I could kick myself. :o)

Well, I'm back to my sewing room to put away the mess I just created. I know I should start on one of them, but there are so many I can't decide!!! LOL!

Well, I'm not far behind - that's for sure. I've set a goal to get busy and finish up a thing or two before I dare bite into another new project *s*

I think you should combine some of those into sampler quilts! Some of them would go great together.

Also...I am famous for using UFOs on the backs of quilts. I only have a handful of UFOs, but I have a LOT of interesting quilt backs!

Suzy, if you want to feel better about your UFOs, check out my post on Saturday, Feb 16. I gave my UFO update for the month. I'm down to 138... though if you don't count the "unstarted" one (kits, fabric sets that I've drafted patterns for, etc), I only have 49. Oh, wow! Now I feel better too!

oh suzy, it made me sad to read about your man...i lost my husband of over thirty years to a sudden unexpected heart attack literally the day before 9/11. when and if the terrible day comes brace yourself...you should be taking supplements and herbs and anything to bolster your body. there is no way to prepare for this...no matter when or how, it will be unexpected, uninvited, unwanted...the period of grief is shokingly long, and the physical pain, i didnt know my heart could hurt so bad and still beat. it is seven years now, time heals not a damn thing but love heals all! the love of your family, friends, strangers, all...i have been in a relationship with a good man for three years now. i moved off kauai, way to painful, and am living an adventure. da UP is so beautiful, even in this cold deep snow but i love it here. please take care of your self and i will keep you in my heart. if ever you need to talk, go to my blog and contact me and i will be there for you. only those who have gone before you truly know and understand. happy quilting and keep on smiling.
