UFO Busting Update

Oops! I started something and then forgot to do the February post! Thanks to Estelle and Peg for prompting me. From the January post we have Estelle, Peg, Annette and Julie participating in UFO busting this year. Anyone else can join in at any time. Since there are so few of us I'm not going to do a monthly prize but I do have some participation gift ideas.

As of January the total number of UFO's was:
Vicki - 31
Estelle - 25
Julie - stopped counting at 10
Annette - 5
Peg - 13

That gives us a total of 84 and we all seem to have at least one that's over 20 years old.

So check in with a comment and tally how many new projects you started, how many you finished and your current total UFO number.

In 2 months I finished 7 but started 5 so my current UFO count is 29. One of my "finished" projects was actually thrown in the trash and that felt great!

At least I'm under 30 now. I really want to end the year under 20.

UFO Busting

Vicki here. I'm sorry I missed the meeting last night. I was off learning how to do letterpress printing. So far I can tell you that it's a great field for dyslexics. You really have to turn your brain backwards. Needless to say I had to set mine twice.

Had I been at the meeting I would have been encouraging you to take on the UFO challenge for this year! I think Julie had a great handout for dealing with UFO project and I'm going to up the ante with prizes. I'll draw a winner from everyone who posts a comment on the UFO post each month.

I hope you will consider participating and you will have the bonus satisfaction of finishing some projects!

To join the UFO busting go to this post and enter a comment telling us how many UFO projects you have and how old the oldest one is. So far the UFO count is up to 79 from 4 people!

It turns out that there is one member who is not qualified to enter the UFO contest. At Friday sewing Karen told us that she had 2 UFO projects but on further inspection we learned that they were both started in the past 2 weeks! KAREN HAS NO UFO PROJECTS!!! How does that happen?

Karen, I have a couple of baby quilt UFO projects if you want them. I found them recently and didn't even count them in my own count.
