Hello Friends
I have making my word of the year since 2017. I often think about stopping but then people will ask me what my word is. It motivates them to pick a word also. So I keep doing it. I also think it helps me maintain my skills in paper piecing the letters. I enjoy that so much but don't do it often.
Here is my word:
This word was chosen back in November. I have been grieving the loss of my mom and it's been a very hard year. I just miss her so much and don't really know my purpose anymore. It is also fitting for what is happening in our country currently.
I have been finding my sewing groove again. I was able to finish 2 quilts, a table runner, pillowcase and 2 bowl cozies. I also finished the applique on a quilt and got it sewn together. Next is border, binding and sewing on the cute buttons.
With so many UFOs around, I have come up with a system that works for me to finish some things. Those 2 quilts the table runner and the appliqued quilt were all UFOs. I am trying to do some organizing in my craft room and when I find something that needs finishing, I put it in this plastic laundry basket type container I bought at IKEA. When I am in the mood to sew, I grab the tote and see what needs to be finished. There are currently only 2 things in the tote to work on. I will go through my room again and add some more until I can't find anything to finish. This is a yearly challenge and so far I think I am making good progress.
I will have more finished items to share soon. And a post about my son getting married. <3
How do you manage your UFOs? Or do you start and complete projects all at once?
Blessings
Amy
