WIPs
In an effort to leave behind a legacy of *finished* quilts rather than a large fabric stash and a pile of UFOs, I’m using my blog to journal my works-in-progress and the creative process behind some of my projects. My challenge for 2007 was to spend some time piecing each day–for at least 15 minutes a day for as many days as I could. It seems as though I only managed to quilt for half the year. Now, in 2008 I’m working on 9 WIPs that I’d like to get to the finished top stage before I’m needing to pack everything up in anticipation of moving.
