All of you quilters or fiber lovers out there - there is a website you need to visit.
Just as ravelry.com is for knitters and crocheters, seamedup.com is for us who love fabric (especially quilters like me!). It is a place where we can track and share our projects with other quilters and sewers.
By taking advantage of the site, I had started to enter my quilts into my "sewing room." Before long, I had quite a collection. I enjoyed seeing my quilts grouped together. As I continued gathering my list, I noticed that there were more unfinished quilts than finished quilts. And the unfinished group kept growing larger and larger! And I still had the UFOs in boxes in the garage that were unaccounted for.
This was a wake-up call. I knew I had a lot of unfinished quilts but I didn't know it was to this extent.
Along with the quilts in my "sewing room," I am going to start a new blog to help document my quilts. It will be a companion blog that will connected to this blog.
I need something to show me exactly how many unfinished projects I have. By seeing the huge number of unfinished quilts, I hope it inhibits me to start any new projects. And as I finish a quilt, I will be able to add it to the "finished" list.
Yet, I may be too embarrassed to share my gloom. I may have to keep it private, just for my eyes only. Only time will tell.
I am currently constructing the blog and I hope to be able to share with it with you soon.

Hey Jane! Thanks for writing about SeamedUP! You rock! And just today I decided that my new motto is 'it isn't how many projects you finish - it's how many you start!'
ReplyDeleteThat will just have to be my motto for now... but I applaud your efforts:)
