Year End Statistics

Here is my year end wrap up and it's filled with lots of numbers.

The good news is that I finished 34 projects in 2010:

You would think I did pretty good for 2010 but let me tell you some more about my year.  I started 2010 with 120 UFOs but ended with 140.  I have 20 more works in progress than what I started with.  How did that happen?  I started 52 projects in 2010 of which I completed 17; I also completed 17 UFOs (quilts started prior to 2010) during the year as well.  On my list for 2011, I created a total of 35 UFOs in 2010.  This was partly due to the creation of the Scrap Quilting Club where I sometimes made two or three tops to show different design possibilities.  Of the 140 UFOs, I have 42 tops that are ready to be quilted so that's good.  Now, I just need to do some serious machine quilting!

I have updated the 2010 Tab on my blog to show all the projects.  Please stop by and view them.  You can use this LINK as well.

If you list your progress on your blog, I'd love to read it.

2009 WIPs Summary

For documentation purposes I make this post. I’ll post a few photos in the next post (hopefully later today) of some things I made this year already.


I did not document how many WIPs I started at the beginning of 2009 which is a bummer. Okay, here are my statistics:

I completed 55 projects for 31.43% of my WIPs. This includes UFOs as well as projects I started in 2009. I end the year with 120 WIPs (don’t laugh…it would have been more if I wasn’t keeping track.) Why do I have so many WIPs? I teach classes and lecture. Sometimes Most times I make samples as I feel showing and telling participants is better than just telling alone. It seems as if whenever I finish a class project (even years down the road) that lecture or class is then requested. I can’t get ahead of this process. So, I'm okay with the number of WIPs just don’t want it to get too much larger.

I started 57 projects in 2009 and of those finished 36 of them (do not include the multiple projects like the 64 cell phone cases, multiple bookmarks, etc. I made.) So that means I finished 19 actual UFOs in 2009.
