2019 Finish-A-Long Q4 Proposed Projects
I love living in my new home with a "sewing room for cutting and housing my supplies" since I sew in the Great Room where we watch TV at night. I am making sure that I spend at least 15-minutes each day sewing for almost every day each week.
Most of my sewing things are still in boxes in the sewing room, but I don't mind. Below, I'm declaring all my UFO's as well as the PIGS with fabric set aside for the projects.
If you want to join in, head over to one of the hosts blogs, Marci Girl Designs is one, to review the rules.
Every project ever on one of my FAL lists (2018 and 2019) is now included until the project is completed or abandoned AND for this quarter, I am coming clean adding ALL the PIGS (projects in grocery sacks) that I have set aside with fabric & pattern in my sewing room and when noted the labeled moving box. With 121 entries (updated 10/16 before the link-up closed), I am joining the #ridiculouslylongFALlist gang. I'll do my best to make progress on many of these. I am hoping to focus on each project and get it done before moving on to the next project so the list of UFO's decreases.
Things still in labeled moving boxes continue having those references reflected in the titles below in parenthesis.
Below is the inspiration image for how this quilt 'may' look with all the kits as a single wall-hanging. Source: Days Filled With Joy - see Micro Mini image
Workshop in Oaks, PA at Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza - I have the sparkly pieces for the dragonfly wings. The cattails are double-stuffed so they poof out a little.
From a great FMQ workshop, but needs finishing to be usable.
Loved the MSQC Daily Deal and purchased the pattern for this Layer Cake

How is your projects list coming?
* 2019 Q4 Finish-A-Long Proposed Finishes as #20
That's quite a list! You've got some very fun projects in the works and in the planning stage. Good luck with your stitching goals during 4th quarter.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate. It's finally time for some fun being in the new house.
Delete*gulps* Oh my goodness!! If nothing else, the numbers on some of those still-to-be-unpacked boxes put the unpacking ahead of you into perspective! It's a pity unpacking can't go on your #RidiculouslyLongFALList!! Good luck! (I think you might be Queen of the RLFALL gang!)
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo, Queen for a quarter!!! Yes, now you have some idea of WHY everything is still in boxes since there are no shelves or storage options in that 'bedroom'. I'm looking at Ikea's custom storage solutions to figure out how to organize, but don't want that to derail my sewing efforts. The best thing is that everything is now in one room, no longer hiding in closets & bins & storage. I love that it's the start of a new quarter and I can work on projects. Good luck with your list!!! Heading over to see your list now.....
DeleteQuite a varied list that you have! What have you been working on first? I hope that you are making good progress on a few of them. On behalf of the entire FAL crew, thanks for joining in.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynne. Numbers 1 and 24 are now finished and I'm moving on to 120 and 110. Having fun with this list and my new sewing room setup so I have all my supplies at hand.
