Drop and Give Me Twenty 2013

Even though I am a relatively new quilter, as in only completed the entire process once, I seem to have accumulated quite the stack of UFOs and baskets of UFO want-to-bes. You know, the patterns and QALS I see on line that I just have to try so  pull the fabrics I have that work for it--though still need some more so maybe I will get to them--someday.  I think that is my problem, I seriously have quilt ADD.

So, having discovered Beth Helfter's Quiting Hottie blog and her Drop and Give me twenty challenge I decided to take the plunge and commit to sewing everyday in February. Hopefully this will help me finish up some of the stuff I started!

Here is my pledge:

I, Kim Rennie (newer quilter already drowning in UFOs) am joining Quilting Hottie Haven's second annual DaGMT event, and pledge to quilt for (30 minutes minimum-though really hope it is more)  every day of the month of February, 2013. In doing so I hope to (finish some of the UFOS and get a little further on others) and of course,   I think Beth Helfter is brilliant for coming up with this concept and inspiring me to join."

  1. Quilt ADD - ok that's a new one for me. It's so easy to just try this block or that QAL. Addicts, that's what we all are!

    Enjoy DaGMT - I'm in for 30 minutes a day too! My list isn't huge but I'm hoping my accomplishments are!

  2. I totally share in the QADD. For sure! Mostly I just like to start new things, and then when I lose interest, go find some more fabric and start dreaming up something totally different. lol :) Will be fun to follow along with you, and see what all you get done.

  3. Hi Kim! Thank you for visiting! I swap squares for a Scrap Vomit Quilt through Swap-Bot, as well as other fabrics and blocks.

  4. I think I just get bored or frustrated with my projects and move onto another one .. oh wait - that would be ADD wouldn't it???

    Good luck for February. I am trying for 30 minutes a day as well.

  5. I think most quilters have ADD....seriously. Otherwise, there wouldn't be all this talk about UFOs :) Good luck! I'm right there with ya!

  6. I love new quilters that already have plenty of UFOs and QALs, then I don't have to feel so bad. LOL. Thanks for commenting on my blog - lets encourage one another okay? I think you can do the 30 min. It's doable. I'm following you now.

  7. Hi Kim, seems like there is always some quilt project I can't wait to try. My new year's resolution was to finish up some UFO's before I treat myself to something new. This quilting a little each day is really helping. Now if I could just stop buying cute fabric with no project in mind... Looking forward to seeing what you will complete.
