My List

I just inventoried my "project stash" to list all the things I have started but not yet finished (UFOs) and all my planned projects (not yet started, but fabric & pattern ready to go). While going through each project-drawer, I have discovered that I have some fabric sets for which I either never decided on a pattern, I have lost/misplaced the pattern, or I have totally forgotten how I wanted to use those fabrics. Which means that I need to make a second pass through all these projects and project-wannabees and pull out the wannabees so that I can return that fabric to main stash. (Either that or collect all the wannabees in their own section to remind me that I need to decide on a pattern.)

Meanwhile, here are my UFOs (does NOT include anything on my "challenge" list):



  1. No Such Thing as an Ugly Fabric
  2. Maroon & Sage
  3. Friendship 4-Patch

I'm so glad to see someone else that buys sets of fabric for a project and then can't remember which pattern I was going to use. I now try to leave the fabric and pattern in a container with the pattern so that doesn't happen so often. But I have several of those don't-know-what-to-do-with piles from year's ago purchases.
