Review of 2016 Accomplishments
Over at A Quilting Life Sherry wrote about 5 Tips for Setting Quilting Goals. Take a few minutes to pop over and read her suggestions. I found them well worth the time. dum, dum, dum dum, dum, dum, dum.... ok are you back now? Wasn't that a worthwhile few minutes? I already keep a list of my in-works projects except I call it my UFO list. I've been slowly whittling it away over the last few years. I was so excited that I hadn't started too many projects and had finished 6 UFOs with the possibility still of finishing a 6th one. Alas, I forgot to add two three projects I have started this year but haven't finished. Here they are:
This is going to be donated to TAPS. It is sewn together except for about 4 short rows on the bottom left. I think I have a wide back that I can use this so it should be a quick and easy finish.
This one is waiting for quilting. Hum, don't remember if I have a backing for it but I do have the binding fabric. Again, probably a pretty quick finish.
This is a leader/ender project that I've been adding to slowly. It, too, will be a TAPS quilt. But it has a long way to go.
So my UFO list has 51 items on it. Three are new this year. Last year there were 54 projects listed. I finished 6 items but added 3. I've been looking over the UFOs listed and the actual projects recently and realize a few of them I really won't do anything with. At some point I'll take them off the list.
Now on to my finishes this year. Honestly, I didn't think I'd done much this year but when I include quilts, knitting and embroidery -- I really did quite a bit.

Congratulations on a productive quilting (and needlearts) year!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Is it fun to see how much you accomplished in 2016. I've made a dent in my yarn and fabric stashes and only have a few acquisitions. It was a good year.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful finishes in your year, you should be proud. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteYou did have a really productive year! Good luck with 2017. I worked on my goals for next year this afternoon. I'm letting them percolate a bit before I commit them to a post.
ReplyDeleteWell done - that's a lot of work. I love the flying geese and flowers patchwork. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing my post! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see everything listed like this. Your embroidered projects are adorable. Lucky grandkids. :)
