2025 UFO Challenge For All Crafters/Creatives

I have two quilt tops that have been ready to turn into a picnic blanket and a tablecloth for quite some time. They make the list.

I have Christmas themed wall hanging that needs embellishments and finishing. There is no pattern, it's freehand, just build up the scene as I want. It's a village scene, has a curvy path though the village to a church at the top. Lots of cottages that need wreaths on doors, snow added, people etc.

I have a crochet pattern that is maybe 35% done, I will have to pull it out and decide if I still want to complete it or cut my losses and make cushion covers with what I have done so far.

I can commit to finish 2 wreaths I started and did not complete. One is for Valentine’s Day and one for St. Patty’s Day.

I have 7 quilt tops waiting for backing, quilting, and binding. I will commit to finishing 4 of them with simple straight line quilting to get them done. Maybe it'll inspire me to finish all of them.

I’m sure I have some UFOs to work on but I won’t be home to take inventory until next weekend
I’ll try and hop back here then and list some

Great Idea! I'm notorious at joining these type of challenges and then forget to follow up. I'll give this one a-go! I am in the process of re-arranging, sorting and combining my craft rooms into one room. Of course, this process has unearthed long lost projects. I'll list them now and come back and post pics when I can.

Priority- Finish binging two BOM quilts ( Block of Month) Sampler and Sisterhood

1- quilt the 4 throws that are sandwiched and ready to be quilted, Quilt and bind these. (I'm tired of moving this stack around)

2- Finish Mini Album for my grandson- Pictures thru the years of GS and son.

3- Sew 4 inch log cabin quilt blocks together into a wall hanging or large pillow. I made the blocks in 2019.

4- make covers for my 2 sewing machines and Momento to keep the dust off of them when not in use. rather than the tea towels I currently use :-)

The list goes on and on! Keep me accountable.

I have a collection of diamond art I stashed under the bed, then somehow more of it collected in the corners of the bedroom. When the company I buy from almost exclusively put out this year's black friday collection it dawned on me that I hadn't even opened last year's black friday collection. So, I have resolved to go on a no buy until I complete at least 4 kits, if not more (I have 3 in progress) so that's number one.
number 2, I have a collection of half finished shirts in my sewing area. I took a sew day before Christmas to wrap up projects I wanted to give as gifts and cut out the pieces missing from my pile of shirts, intending to sit and finish them assembly line style. The gifts got done, the shirts did not. that's number 2.
Number 3 is assemble and finish the interwoven quilt I started with the scraps from one of my christmas gifts. I had a ton of flannel from a second hand shop, which I made a quilt for DH from. With the scraps from that I started a small interwoven.

If I can get through those 3 projects I'm sure I can dig up another one from the seemingly endless stash here. My biggest goal for the year is to go on a no buy of any kind of craft project. I have what I need to do what I want.

and I just thought of number 4- a coat which I have fabric for, but the pattern is a very structured modern pattern for a vintage coat - Gertie, charm patterns princess coat for those of you who sew- I've made gertie patterns before and they are not for the feint of heart, but the end product can be beautiful. I found this wool I fell in love with and bought it when I was offered a job back in October. it's been sitting there mocking me ever since.

I currently have 2 UFOs

1) Around the World Crochet Afghan. I keep putting this off because I bought the yarn a LONG time ago and I'm afraid I won't have enough to finish it and it's hard finding yarn to match (most of the colors are Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn and the colors were discontinue). But it is a very old UFO and I really would love to finish it. Plus, it has over 1,200 teeny tiny squares.



2) Flower Power Afghan. I started this just because I liked the pattern but then I got sidetracked with other projects. It should be pretty easy to finish up, once I get started back on it.



I'm currently working on a lapghan for friend so when I finish that, I will take a look at my UFOs

Thank you bc2ca and disneypal for sharing how you share photos here!

Great idea to motivate for 2025. I did complete one project today, so that does not count. Princecrafting projects are always in the works, I will add four projects I would like to complete in no particular order.

1. Coachella Tunic: sewing on individual clear rhinestones, I am getting there - a project I work on during my lunch hour when I take lunch.


2. Rave era blue outfit: pants are done, need to work on the top. I haven't looked at it for a couple months so I am not sure where I left off due to Christmas ornament projects.


3. Jam of the Year outfit: Finished crocheting the cowl today, I need to make pants and modify the top.


4. Shoe covers: for any outfits needing them, if I finish 3 sets of shoe covers, that would be good.

Project 1: finish the last details of my island. I designed an island for my kitchen and dh built it using a piece we already had and adding to it. I stained planks for the top and painted it all and added new hardware but there a a couple Spots that need touch up paint and another corbel added and painted.

Project 2: finish 2024 December Daily. I have a start on it but just wasn’t able to work on it much this December. I’d like this to be quarter 1 or 2 while the holiday is more fresh in my mind

Project 3: finish week in the life 2023. I have a lot of this done but we moved a couple weeks after the week documented and it just wasn’t a good time to work on it and then life… it’s also a beast with so much in it. But I really want to finish.

Project 4: finish December Daily 2023 - this is very close. Maybe only 4-5 pages left?

YES - thank you!  I know I have my Recipe Card projects for all three of my girls as one project.  I need to rummage through my scrap room to figure out the rest!

I have several projects that I haven’t started yet but bought supplies. I’m hoping to work on these. I had been thinking about a couple but hadn’t started them yet. I looked through my patterns and found the pattern I was looking for for a scarf yesterday quite easily. I’m taking it as a sign that I need to start it. I still need to pull out the black baby alpaca yarn. I think I bought the yarn more than ten years ago. I’m hoping I can see the stitches as I really want to make this scarf. I also have some other black yarn for some black wrist warmers. I’m sure I will be cursing both projects with black yarn. I also want to catch up on some SU kits both paper pumpkin and others. I am planning to work on organizing this year as well. I’m sure I will come up with a lot more projects.
