I see by the posts made by other members in the blogging world that quilters are adding up their finished projects for the year. Measuring your progress for the past year seems like a good idea before setting goals for the new year, so here goes.....
I keep track of my UFOs, flimsies, completed projects, on a spreadsheet. When I went back and added things up, I see that I finished 26 projects in 2006.
10 small gifts (1 Christmas stocking and 9 pin cushions)
3 bed size quilts (green crumb quilt, rail fence around the world, fall snowball and nine patch)
1 charity quilt
1 pillow (summer paint chip challenge)
6 table toppers (1 table runner, 5 hexagon / octagon table toppers)
5 wall hangings (quilt show challenge, Christmas scrap/black nine patch, 3 JOY's)
I am pretty pleased with this progress given that 20 of these projects were given away as gifts.
That's a great list of fnished projects and to think 20 of them were gifts is even better. I think I'm going to start making more gifts this year. Thanks for the inspiration to do that.
ReplyDeleteI found it useful to group what I'd done, and actually "see" it before setting my goals for 2007 too. Congrats on your year's worth of work :-)
ReplyDeleteGood for you - that is a great list of accomplishments! Lots and lots of finished things.
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful you gave me the name "flimsy" so I could say I finished a few things. Thirteen flimsies completed sounds much better than only two completed quilts, only one of which was a UFO.
Happy New Year! what a wonderful list of accomplishments from 2006
ReplyDeleteA wonderful and generous list of work for 2006. You definitely should give yourself a pat on the back *s*
