Less means more

It has felt so good getting overdue projects done at work and in the sewing space. I used to think the more projects I juggled, the more productive I was being, but now I'm seeing that it's just the opposite. I'm slowly working to clean out my bin of quilt tops, and I have fewer UFO bins stashed all over the place. Not that I haven't added to my plate of projects this past year. There are the ICS quilt show ribbons in progress, and the occasional top and wall hanging that just had to be done. I think I got better though and the projects I added in I made a point of finishing in a reasonable time.

So I'm hoping the guild will again do a UFO project starting in September, but if we don't do it formally, I'll do it informally. My long term goal is to start 2014 (yep, 2 1/2 years from now) with a relatively clean slate of quilt projects. My 2013 goal is to be working on a quilt with an eye for juried quilt shows. For the rest of this year, keep plugging away at quilting the tops and setting UFO blocks.

Then even shorter goals are to quilt Brady's quilt (done in the next 2 weeks), layer and quilt the guild round robbin quilt (done by end of July), and get my entries ready for the guild's October show (done by mid-August).
