Quilt UFO Buster
Welcome to August, everyone! I still can’t believe that my summer is half over. I am never very productive quilting-wise in the summer – too many irons in the fire. But I am ready to start my August Quilt UFO. I bet you are wondering what number was drawn.
Quilt UFO Buster #8
How appropriate is #8 for the 8th month? I was excited to work on this project, but I have looked everywhere for it. I CANNOT find my #8 project. Sooooo…… I will be substituting others until I can find it. My first substitution is machine quilting (see picture to the left); I am so sick of machine quilting right now. If I am focused, I may be able to finish two projects this month – both machine quilting.
I am going to continue to look for my original project, but for the life of me, I have no idea where it went to.
Keeping Motivated?!?
How are you keeping yourself motivated? We’ve been so busy this summer, and I am afraid we aren’t enjoying it like we should. I am treasuring the time I have with the grandkids – that is a wonderful bright spot! Ultimately other commitments have to take priority over my quilting time. I wish I didn’t need to sleep.
I try to find a half hour here and there to work on something quilty – even if it is machine quilting just one row. As it has been said before, any progress is forward progress. My problem is once I start, I don’t want to stop.
Want to stay updated on the Quilt UFO Project?
I would love to hear about the project you want to work on this month. Take a minute to join the Facebook page. Share what you are working on in April. Feel free to share your January, February, and March projects too. Let us be a support system for finishing projects. If you put a project down because you ran into issues, share it with the group. I am sure a solution to the problem can be found.
Feel free to comment below or share on my Facebook page. I will do an update post throughout the month to share my progress.
Until next time.
