2016 could have been a better year....quilting-wise. I only quilted 47 quilts this year....seems like much more.
I did manage to empty 79 thread spools.
And used 111 yards of fabric out of the stash.
I have done much better than this in years past...guess i was a slacker this year. haha
Plans for 2017 include:
Judy Laquidara's UFO Challenge. as in years past, we are to pick 12 UFOs and number them from 1 through 12. Each month Judy will pick a number, and we are to finish that numbered UFO. I have done this challenge in past years and it is fun and productive.
My 12 UFOs are:
1 Blue and White Manassas quilt from Marilea
2 Oriental Treasures quilt
3 Larry's Texas quilt
4 Blue selvage blocks
5 Red selvage blocks
6 Blue and white one block wonder
7 Embroider Shop Hop
8 Embroider striped alpha
9 Embroider search and find
10 Embroider Christmas town
11 Embroidery Landscape Christmas
12 Embroider 50 states
Some of these projects are huge and might not get finished in a month....and a few are just a few steps away from being finished. If i finish a project quickly and have more time for that month....i have 3 'extras' that i can work on...
1 Embroider pirate alphabet
2 Embroider western alphabet
3 Halloween alphabet
As you can see, there are just as many embroidery UFO projects as there are quilts.
Along with all of this....I want to quilt 1 leather piece each month, too.
The year always starts out well....until garden season arrives...and lawn mowing season. And if i can stop myself from adding even MORE UFOs to the pile....that would be a huge help also. And not find any more graffiti projects to do. .... and stay at home more and work at it. Life is hard. hahaha
The to-be-quilted cabinet is still pretty full. This year I quilted them in order....oldest first. Next year I am going to do things a bit differently. Instead of continuing the oldest first, I am going to quilt the ones that I like best first.....might as well do what I like and get them finished before I die. haha

All those empty spools are amazing. Quite an accomplishment. Good luck on your UFOs.
