A recap of sewing goals for 2017.
Use 200 yards of fabric from stash --- used 155.18 yards
Finish 1 UFO per month --- finished quilting 7
Not buy any fabric --- bought 1/2 yd. and was gifted 3 fat quarters
Make 5 QOV - made 8 (3 quilted, 5 tops to be hand quilted by our QOV
I also made 20 bowl cozies for gifts, a few kennel quilts for animals of the fires in California, pillowcases for charity and QOV, 3 baby quilts not on the UFO list and several group quilts with friends for QOV. In addition to quilting, I finished several pairs of knitted socks .
I'm happy with the results for the year, but hope to use more from my stash and lower my UFO list by 12 or more.
Here's a few pictures in review of some of the quilts.

Thank you all for sticking with me through 2017 and being there when I needed encouragement and advice. Although I don't mention it often, I really do love reading your comments when I post and hope to get more involved in blogging activities again. Happy New Year to all. I'm going to welcome in the new year with some knitting and hand mending. Take care and stay healthy.

Even though you didn't meet your goals you made incredible progress. Good luck on the UFO list next year.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed by all that you did do... we always think and hope that we can get more done, but there are only so many hours in a day, aren't there? Congrats on what you've done... Prayers for a productive and happy 2018!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty awesome year! And the UFO list is down to 70 from 160? Completing 90 quilts in 10 years is pretty impressive! Congrats on the successful stash management, even if you didn't meet your goal completely, you did really well at using rather than adding. I love all your QOV quilts. Wishing lots of success with your goals for 2018. Have a very happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a stellar job. Give your self more credit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lit of accomplishments! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up and sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing and linking up. I hope that you have a lot of quilting joy as you work on these goals in 2018. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful selection of quilts! I just started following your blog and am looking forward to seeing more in 2018 :) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great quilt year. They are all beautiful and going to good places. Both of us are on a run for 200. Are any of your UFOs going to the QOV? And yes, I need hats and mittens. I think my age is making me feel the weather more.
ReplyDeleteYou have finished some beauties! But I'm really impressed by your UFO spreadsheet.... I look forward to seeing more completed quilts in 2018!
ReplyDeleteI think it is a pretty impressive year - congrats on all you got done and best wishes on your 2018 goals!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had an outstanding year! Here's to a new year of creating and blogging!
ReplyDeleteI have some sock yarn that I need to send to you. I can't use it (can't even get the chain stitch correct). Send me your snail mail address, and I'll get it out to you in the next few weeks. I really should list all of my UFO's like you do. Maybe then I'd remember them. Seems like I start more new projects, than ever finish anything.
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you getting more than half those UFO's done in the last 10 years! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful Show and Tell, and good luck with those new goals.
