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!
