The end of the year is nigh and an accounting is due! In looking at my numbers, I wish I had not succumbed to the siren song fabric sings to me--"Buy me!" And I wish I had used a bit more stash and finished a few more projects. Which all brings me to thinking about what I accomplished in 2014 and what I want to cross off my UFO-NewFO-Stash Reduction list in 2015.
I numbered UFO/NewFOs in 2014 and drew a number each month--as we used to do on Judy's blog. Because my bucket list is so long and continues to grow, I made A-B-C lists and even started on a D list. I wasn't very successful on the A list which is the one I drew from each month, finishing only 3. I finished 2 from the B list, 9 from the C list, and 5 from the D list--a total of 19 quilt tops pieced. That shows me that when I see a quilt that I "just have to make," I abandoned my original list and added those quilts to my C and D lists--hmmmm, something to work on. Perhaps I will set a goal of finishing something on my A list for every "new" quilt I do from the C & D lists (the B list is more like the A list). Or maybe that involves too many rules. My crochet/decorative painting/embroidery/machine embroidery/longarm quilting project lists didn't fare very well in 2014.
To end the year on a very positive note...I can see a real reduction in my stash! Some of the shelves are becoming less crowded--yea! I wish you all a wonderful and productive 2015!
