My biggest goal this year was to finish one of my large cross-stitch projects. ("QS Red Hearts" is finished!) I also began working full time at a job I truly enjoy. As a result, my list of UFOs (unfinished objects) for the 2018 American Patchwork & Quilting UFO Challenge did not get much of my crafty time. That being said, I am happy with the progress that was made this year.

The photo above shows the 12 UFOs I selected to work on in 2018. You may find more photos and details in this post, shared last December.
UFO Progress in 2018:
1. "LOVE" Wall Quilt featuring blocks from the 2014 Crazy Quilting International Hearts Round Robin Blocks: I removed the basting seams from all 6 blocks and purchased a hanger from Ackfeld Manufacturing. (I am not affiliated, I just like their wire hangers.)2. "Hearts Askew" Quilt: No progress.
4. Assemble OSU Messenger Bag: Not yet! Needed to finish #3.
5. Embellish and Make a Purse with Crazy Quilt Journal Project (CQJP) 2014 December Block: No progress.
6. Fully Finish "The land is not inherited" Cross-stitch: No progress.
7. Embellish & Sew Christmas Stocking: No progress.
8. Quilt, Label & Bind CQI Winter/Christmas Wall Quilt: No progress.
10. Complete The City Stitcher Quilt Collection #9 Our Country Home - Pattern by Janet Miller: No progress.
11. Create CQI Snowball Wall Quilt: No progress.
One UFO was completed and progress was made on three others. That is more progress than I would have made without this challenge, so it feels successful to me!
My 2019 UFO List will be shared in tomorrow's post.
Thank you for visiting! - Renee

Glad the challenge was helpful for you. I don't blame you for not making as much progress with starting a new job. I'm glad to hear you enjoy it at least. I think that's so important. Congrats on the goals you have achieved!
I think you made great progress, particularly with working on top of keeping hearth and home together. I've been toying with taking part in TAST again with the thought in mind of making a recipe box filled with stitch samples, but will I? Jury is still out!!
AND you started the job, so you had less time. I'd say it was a successful year, too.
