Me vs. UFO’s … They are winning, 0 to 103!

Do you dreamily picture in your mind the day when your UFO pile will not exist?  I have and I made a huge effort to achieve just that here.  I bet you can almost feel the sense of accomplishment that would wash over you?  Imagine, no nagging feeling that they are calling your name while you sleep. Gone would be the guilt. Just think about it … the ability to focus all of your attention on only one project.

 

I have had a somber but exciting realization.  I am never. not. going. to have. UFO’s!  Even if I finished up the 3 UFO’s I have (yes I am stalled at 3!).  Whaaaat?

 

Two cohorts in crime are dashing the “done” idea … actually slaughtering it.  My mind and my stash. The two of them get together and look at each other and come up with grand ideas for yet another project. While I may have the potential to complete those 3 UFO’s I have realized I have about 100 mental UFO’s on the go!  Fabric pulls for a project are the biggest instigator.  But oh the excitement of picking up a piece of fabric and imagining all the possibilities … oh yes….!  It’s a reality … so much fabric … sew little time!

 

Of course WIPS (works in progress) are a totally different subject!  Totally legal.  And of course guilt free.

A family room quilt in progress as a leaders and enders project. Requested by the kids … but that’s another whole post!

 

I have 5 WIPS right now.  How many projects do you actively have on the go?

 

Happy Stitching!

    I just saw your interview with The Quilt show and Bravo it was wonderful. Great way to represent quilters in Toronto! Loved it and learned some tricks. I love small piecing and hope to see you one day

    I loved your Quilt Show appearance too! Your work is so inspiring. I have more WIPs than I will admit to 🙂

    I have more than I can claim. I really need to get focused and complete something…anything.
