November 26, 2019 – March 21, 2020 “I have so many projects to finish.” “I can’t start anything new until I finish something.” “You would not believe how many projects are sitting in my sewing room.”

One of the upsides of colder temperatures and shorter days is Sewing & Quilting Season has officially arrived! We are starting a UFO Challenge to motivate everyone to get those unfinished projects done! (For the uninitiated or compulsively organized, UFO means unfinished object. Also known as PhDs . . . projects half done). Here’s the deal. Bring in your UFOs starting Monday, November 25 through December 30. We will register each one and log them into your personal page in our special UFO Challenge binder. Then, get busy sewing! (Remember . . . any day we’re not having class or special event you are welcome to come to the shop to work on your projects.) Each time you finish a UFO, bring it back to the shop. We will mark it complete and you will be entered to win great prizes (see below). The more UFOs you finish the more chances you have to win.
Rules • UFO must be a quilt, wall hanging, table runner, purse, or tote bag. It can also be a garment. • UFO must be started (i.e., fabric and pattern in a bag or a kit you haven’t begun won’t qualify). • UFO must require at least one hour of work to complete (e.g., six inches left to bind won’t qualify). |
|
UFO Show and Tell Party On Saturday, March 21, 2020, we’ll have a special UFO Show and Tell. Bring everything you completed during the Challenge and claim your bragging rights. We’ll draw for the prizes during this party, but you don’t have to be present to win.
