Looking Back and Goals for 2023

     Before the new year started I continued to work Saturday on 2022 UFOs and was excited to bring “Hometown Charms” to a finished top. I was also pleased to use stash fabric for the borders and binding.  

It was a rainy day with more inside time so I cut alternate blocks for the Dogtooth Star project. 

 Now this is the final-Final Stash Report for 2022:

this past week- Used: 4 yds Added: 0 yds

So far this year- 149 yds Added: 53.75 yd

Net decrease 95.25 yds

     Now as 2023 begins I looked back at what I accomplished on quilting projects last year . Looking at other blogs I loved seeing a collage of their finishes for the year so decided to work on one. This shows my major finishes in a variety of sizes.

It does not including many placemats, mug rugs, most charity/comfort quilts or quilt tops.

The new year is also my time to set new goals. I'm keeping most of same as 2022.

Yearly Goals for 2023:

1. finish UFOs
2. decrease stash fabric
3. control and use scrap fabric

     I updated my list of UFOs and projects for 2023. “Celtic Fantasy” is top priority and will take a lot of time; however, I plan to work on other projects along with it. I listed 17 UFOs and 6 church quilt tops that need quilting. Pat Sloan is leading a “Sewing Space Organization Extravaganza” or Tidy Up Challenge for January. I plan to participate and expect to uncover more UFOs as I get more organized.

Hope your new year is full of fun, happiness and good health long with some sewing and quilting.
