shamed


I rejoined the fabricholics yahoo group to take part in their NYE mystery and there was chat about all those dreaded UFO's. Up for a challenge I started to drag out what i could lay my hands on without looking for and guess what 27 projects now all on the dining room table. I still have a quilt on the quilting frame to be hand quilted only a couple of rows to go, and I have a quilt in bits on the design wall. Plus heaven knows how many leaders and enders.
I then decided maybe i should actually clear up the piles of mess now scattered all over the floor and came across many orphan blocks, all different sizes all different backgrounds and styles. Those i just popped into another box, maybe I will do something with those at some time.
This purge also found some Japanese quilt magazines I want to sell on eBay, some magazines that I had kept and have marked with quilts I want to make, patterns downloaded from the net and some bought. I found fabric I didn't know I had and it really is too nice to use!
Earlier in the year i catalogued all my books and numbered them, and organised strips into boxes.
So now my computer desk is covered with papers and patterns with barely enough room for a keyboard, and there is a heap of everything else that was lying in a corner now in the middle of the floor.
I suppose I'd better go and do something about it I dread finding more UFO's Happy New Year to all

I think my table would look even worse. Your confession made me smile. Mine are all tucked safely away in drawers and containers.

Too brave! I am afraid to start opening drawers and cupboards to look through my UFOs. Best they stay there where no one can see.

We all have loads of this stuff. Yours looks fairly tidy. Hello to Ireland.
