Managing Quilt UFOs and WIPs for 2025 This past weekend, I finally found time to start organizing my creative chaos. I rearranged my quilting machine/table, sewing machine, and cutting area. Sometimes, I just need to shake it up a bit. While December is usually a crazy month for us, it was nice to do the rearranging. My Quilt UFOs, WIPs, and scrap fabrics are now organized. Scrap Fabric Organization I sorted my scraps according to…
Are you ready to work on your Quilt UFOs and WIPs? First, let’s talk about Quilt UFOs and WIPs. What are they? A Quilt UFO is an unfinished project. I like to think of it as one I started and then set aside as I started to work on something else. Some day, I will learn to focus on one project at a time. A Quilt WIP is a work-in-progress project. Think of this as…
November Quilt UFO Just two months before the new year—actually less than two months—how are you doing on your Quilt UFO List? I took a bit of a turn when attempting to finish up the Quilt UFOs for this year. This little pup (Buster) has loved sleeping on the table when I am piecing. As soon as I sit down at the machine, he wants to be up there on a cuddly blanket. Foundation Piecing…
How Does Worktable Wednesday Look for You This week, my Worktable Wednesday starts with a big Grammy mug of chai and ginger tea. An extra strong mug of tea helps when you feel a bit under the weather. There will be a fair amount of rest between the chores I want to finish both in and out of the sewing room. Today, I will work on the foundation piecing units. I finished three this morning,…
It’s October – Quilt UFO Time We are closing in on the end of 2024; just a couple more months to finish your quilt UFOs. I will be cramming in my projects; summer time kept me busy. Playing catch-up was the name of the game in September. Let’s hope I can have a repeat for October. My Quilt UFO list is dwindling, but I would love to be able to finish them all. Machine Quilting…
September Quilt UFO Progress Well, September is two-thirds of the way done. I am finding more time to work in the sewing room. I have finally completed July’s and August’s machine quilting. The September Quilt UFO on my machine now. It feels great to complete some of my Quilt UFOs, but I still have foundation piecing and Jack’s Chain to work on. Saturday Sew Day Tomorrow will be an excellent day to focus on sewing…
Mid-August Quilt UFO Update Today is one of those days when they are calling for rain, but we haven’t seen it yet. I am going to play this day as if it were raining. There are so many inside chores to get done! I am working on a Quilt UFO – the foundation piecing one in my living room. Tomatoes, peppers, and onions are roasted in the oven, preparing to create sauce and chili later.…
Sunday Sew Day Today was a good day to spend a few hours in the sewing room—my Sunday Sew Day. This was one of those days when I was productive at finishing things, although I don’t know what was different today from other days. We are just about at the halfway point in July. Up until today, I hadn’t worked on my July quilt UFOs. Progress on Quilt UFOs The foundation piecing projects for this…
July’s Post for Quilt UFO Happy July 1st, ooops, July 2nd! June sped by with too many things to fit into 24-hour days. In the last post, I shared that I didn’t think I would finish everything for June. So, I completed two UFOs for the previous month’s Quilt UFO. Can you guess which one I still have to do? Foundation Piecing Quilt UFO It isn’t the foundation piecing! On Friday, I found a couple…
Project Quilt UFO This month has been intense, and if I am lucky, I will play catch-up on Sunday. I knew I would be up against it during the warmer months, but we’ve thrown a couple more big things into the mix. Please be patient as I re-evaluate the priorities here. Once I have a new routine, things should settle down. I want to get back on track with my Quilt UFO list. Machine Quilting…
