Okay, so not a bad showing for just a partial year's access to my sewing room. My finished list includes two quilts that were the most dreaded in my sewing room. It 's great to have those two behind me. Any guesses which the ones they were?
Now let's look ahead to 2019, shall we? I'm using the form provided by All People Quilt for their 2019 UFO Challenge. Some folks are doing both a quilting and piecing challenge, and I kind of like that idea. There are a number of quilts on the quilts-to-be-quilted pile. Those will take me through the whole year. I'm hopeful I'll finish more than one per month because some of them are small. Here is a list of the quilts I'd like to finish off in 2019:
And, yes, they aren't yet sandwiched for quilting, but they will be by the time 2019 rolls around.
Also, there are quilts on my WIPS list that I'd for sure like to get to flimsy stage or beyond, and so here's my second list of goals:
See, and this is how I defeat the Grim Reaper (or in this case, the Grim Ripper).
If he comes for me, I'll just tell him I can't go because I'm not through my lists yet. Clever, huh? I'm telling you, the woman is always thinking.
Edited to say that I'm linking up with @2019PlanningParty hosted by Quilting Jetgirl.
Click on that image to head over to the party and see what others have in store for their new year of quilting.
Today I'll be walking with Sue, and after that...back to work (sound of whip cracking). Better get busy if I'm going to finish all of those.

Very, VERY impressive. I was happy to complete a dozen flimsies in 2018 but I had most of them sandwiched and quilted by others, so I am way behind, both in skill and accomplishment. You are still my Quilty Hero.
What a beautifully creative year you had..;))
Hugs, Julierose
I have been following you for some time and love your blog. You amaze me how much you accomplish with all you do. I too am a quilter and love stitching. I love your creative flair. Lynn
Quite a list you have there! But I know you can do all of them. I applaud your ability to finish. Enjoy, now( sound of whip cracking) get cracking. Happy new year
Did you forget your Gingerbread quilt? And its quilt shop win? Or was the the previous year?
You have had a great year, finishing a fun variety of quilts. All those quilts and only half the time in your sewing room. Love it! Happy New Year to you and your family, Barbara!
For only having 7 months, you did really well on the all the finishes. You have some gorgeous quilts and some fun quilts on that list. Good luck with your 2019 goals.
I'm going to make a list too... not as organized as yours, but it will be a start!
Using the All People Quilt form and challenge for quilting and piecing is a great idea. I hope that you have a lot of quilting fun as you work on your project. Thank you for linking up with the Planning Party!
So many cute quilts! Lots of sewing in just a few months!
It will be fun to see how many of those items you have crossed off your list as Done this time next year.
