We moved nearly all of our stuff to the new house last weekend. So happy to be in the new space! We originally selected our rental house for the price and location - NOT the condition, so there are a lot of upgrades and amenities that we loving about the new house. My fabric hasn't made the move yet - I know that is usually the first thing people move, but the new house still has some lingering smell from floor refinishing, so I'm waiting for that to clear up some more before I bring my fabric over.
I do have everything packed up, though. Going through my UFO drawers reminded me that it's probably about time for an update. Errr.... make that past time! When I went to pull in the previous list, I discovered that I made it in May of last year. At the time, I had 8 WIPs. I finished four of them but added four more in the same period, so I'm still at 8. The projects are definitely getting more current, though, which is a good thing.
Linen Stripes Quilt Finished in August 2012!
Sewing Machine Cover Finished it, decided I didn't need a sewing machine cover, and then turned it into a tote bag in mid-2013.
Bed Quilt Finished in November 2012!

| This quilt is double-sided and so large that I have never gotten around to taking proper pictures and blogging it. |
Embroidered Kitties Quilt Finished in August 2012!
 |
| My niece is using this quilt on her bed! |
1. Wedding Quilt
 |
| I have decided that I will probably use this as one side of a double-sided quilt. |
2. Queen of Embarrassing Toasts' Quilt (Modern Quilting Bee) - This quilt is basted and ready for quilting!
 |
| My sister has spoken for this quilt. |
3. Giraffe Quilt (Tethered Threads 2 Bee)
 |
| This is one of those times when cutting a precious fabric turned out to be the best choice. This quilt is definitely staying with me. The block/fabric combination is straight copied from Film in the Fridge. Sometimes you see something and you just gotta have it. |
4. Secret project
What? It's a secret. No pictures!
5 (NEW). Round Boo Bee
 |
| My round robin quilt is still going! We are filling in the four corners to bring this out to square. |
6 (NEW). Other secret project
What? It's a secret. No pictures!
7 (NEW). BAM-BOM Quilt (more like an ongoing project than a UFO)
 |
Photo from the design wall - I need to sew these blocks together and then I have four borders planned..
|
8 (NEW). BAM Round Robin
(more like an ongoing project than a UFO)
 |
| I wish I had a more recent photo! This quilt is going to be epic. |
My new (as of this year) approach is to slow down on starting new projects to keep from getting bogged down with new starts, and meanwhile chip away at the older projects in between. With that in mind, I'm setting my new year's resolution early: Whether I start new projects or not, I want to get my UFO&WIPs list down below five by the end of 2014.
You have really interesting projects. There is a lot to look at in all of them. I think the photos you took of them look great. They give a sense of the project, but leave the reader wanting more. 8 is good!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jaye! I look back at these posts sometimes when I have time to work on an old project. It really helps me to have a visual on what I have going on, and it also helps me get excited about them again.
