Quilted Jonquil

I just took a look at my project lists, completed and in-progress (let’s not even talk about the list of projects I want to do), and was quite surprised to see that I only finished 3 projects this year compared to 5 in 2007.  One, the Timbleberries Village quilt, was started in July 2003.  My mom had it for awhile before getting it quilted but she’s not the main reason it took so long to finish!!!  All it needed was the binding and I’ll bet that took me at least a year.  Another, a First Saturday block program at the Quilted Fox was started in Feb 2004.  The last one, the Steelers baby quilt, was actually started AND finished in 2008, woo hoo

I am resolving as of this minute to finish the Tiger Lily quilt IN JANUARY 2009. It was started in Oct 2002 and the binding has been is all ready to sew for over a year now……BAD CHERIE   Two projects started in 2008 need to be finished up in January and then I’m going to tackle the multiple “in process” projects.  I don’t think these are ligitimate UFO’S because they are out in plain sight, on my mind and I still intend on finishing them.  Okay, so maybe the ones started in Jan 2003 and Oct 2003 qualify as UFO’s and maybe the ones started in May 2005 and Oct 2005 as well *sigh*.  I see from my list I have 5 different projects started in 2007 *sigh* *sigh*.  I started 4 projects in 2008 that aren’t finished but those are in pretty good shape, one is the current First Saturday (doesn’t end until June 2009), two are the projects I WILL finish in January and one is a crumb block quilt that is waiting for more scraps

Here’s to a 2009 full of finishes!!
