It is getting close to the time of year that people (myself included) start making new years resolutions. I thought that before I even consider doing that I should revisit the ones I made last year so I went back to one of my very first blogs.
#1 was to shop stash before going to the store and to try and make lots of scrap quilts. Well I did start shopping my stash more so that is a plus. I made a couple of scrap Christmas quilts out of left over binding pieces and one scrap top for Project Linus but guess that is about all the headway I made using up scraps.
#2 was to piece a lot of backings with 10 1/2 squares to use up some of those smaller pieces of fabric left from various projects. I did very well on this one as I probably pieced 3/4 of my backings this year.
#3 was to tackle my Projects in Grocery Sacks (PIGS) and either make up the project or return the fabric to my stash to use for other projects. I made up a couple of the projects and returned at least two more to stash so I would say I made good progress on this one. If nothing else it reminded me of a few projects I still want to do.
#4 was to de-junk the sewing room and the rest of the house. This of course is an on-going process but did get a little accomplished on it.
and #5 though I never wrote it down was to quilt 12 charity quilts during 2008, an average of 1 per month. To date I have quilted 14 quilts for various charities during 2008 so actually a little ahead on that one.
Since it looks like I actually worked on and made progress on each of my resolutions guess I will start thinking about next years.
How did you do with your 2008 resolutions?

I don't really make resolutions but over the last few years I've tried to focus more on UFO's and using stash.
No real resolutions here except to finish 12 UFO's in a year and try to finish 2 UFO's before I start a new project. Well, I did the first, but the last I think I missed! But I worked hard at shopping my stash first. I'm happy. Next year I will finish 6 UFOs, and try to use another 100 yards of stash.
