How Many UFOs and WIPs Do I Really Have Going On? With 2026 just around the corner, I always find myself reflecting on the projects (UFOs and WIPs) scattered throughout my sewing room. This time of year naturally brings a mix of excitement and honesty. I started 2025 strong, making great progress during the first half of the year… and then the second half? Not so much. Life got busy, creativity shifted, and a few…
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…
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…
June’s Installment of Project Quilt UFO May sped by, and I am struggling to accept that June is already here. I am barely able to finish my quilt UFO each month. Our warmer temperatures and just the right amount of rain have our grass growing fast. The landscaping will keep me busy for a couple of days each week, so any free time is precious. What Are You Working on This Month? It doesn’t even…
Time for an Update – May Quilt UFO Where has the month of May gone? We’ve been blessed with some great weather this month. I took advantage of those not-so-nice days to finish my Quilt UFO projects for this month! I wasn’t sure that I would have time with all the spring cleaning that needed to be done outside, but somehow, it worked. Jack’s Chain I am falling in love with this pattern. As the…
