I am so looking forward to 2015.
After all it's a new year which brings new hope. I have been thinking this week (the last week of 2014), about what I want out of the new year...besides the obvious (health, love, & happiness, which I am doing pretty well in by the way). I was looking at all of the on line sales that have been going on in quilt shops all across the web and each time I would sit and fill up a cart with fabric for my stash, I just could not get myself to press the send button. HMM, I wonder why this is? Could it be that I am "all stashed out"? Reached my limit of "stash consumption"? No...that couldn't be. I love fabric, I love adding to my stash and watching it grow in size and color. But I do have quite a FEW projects in the works, better known as UFO's (unfinished objects). Sit back and take a look at how many I have waiting to be finished. **WARNING** picture heavy blog post :)

So if I counted correctly this makes 61 53 UFOs I have on hand (there are under 20 various sized quilt tops that still need to be quilted, labeled and bound but I am not counting them as UFOs any longer. I plan on fitting them in around customer quilts in 2015). So with all of these UFOs waiting to be done I have decided that for the year of 2015 I will NOT buy any more fabric, I am hoping to make a huge dent in what I have listed here and what ever I finish piecing in 2015 I will quilt them in 2016 (because I am pretty certain I will have to buy some fabric for the backs of these UFOs). So for 2015 my motto will be "finish what I have started"
