One thing I have noticed since the new year started is that many bloggers have the same idea of working on UFOs. One such challenge is called a Lovely Year of Finishes hosted by Melissa and Shanna. You can read more on their blogs. You pick one project to finish each month. So I am linking up and I will finished the mitten row and any other row that Lori puts on her blog this month.
Lynne is also hosting a party to finish all kinds of projects, not just quilting UFOs. You can read more here.
Just a words about my challenge. The title "Nothing but UFOs" is really for me and of course, any one else who wanted to just work on UFOs this year. I know how hard it is to not start something new. And if you do that it is fine but you are welcome to join in any month with your three UFOs for the month and link up. You still have time to link up today with your post showing what you are going to work on. And you can also link up to the other blogs that I shared today.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

I actually finished a little UFO last evening , not on that list I posted yesterday but one I mentioned earlier so thanks for getting me in the mood to finish :-)
Great UFO, Carrrie. I understand and can relate to "interruptions" ...LOL
It is sure making UFO finishing more fun to have others who are in the same situation! I'm still trying to get back to "normal" post holidays... hoping for next week.
Welcome to my Linky party -- hopefully I'll get some time today to make sense of your in terms of what I'm doing!
Love the hand quilted one!
Your hand quilting is so pretty, Carrie! And wow your rows are looking great. I love that quilt. I'm thinking I may get to some UFO's myself this year, I have some antique quilt tops and blocks I'd like to do something with. Perhaps I'll join you!
I've just about cleared my back log now and have decided to mend my ways...I'm not going to start anything new until all the decks are cleared.

good luck with finishing the ufo's!!! I have a few I need to finish too, I still have lots of bindings to sew on and promised myself to do one a week.
lets see if I can get that done!

Hi Carrie! Good for you to plan to finish some quilts! I need to start some more so I have a good pile of UFO,s to choose from!! LOL. That's not saying I don't have any UFO's now...I just like to start better than finish, so I am NOT ready for this challenge! haha!
I'll keep to your challenge and one on facebook. That way I can keep track (:
I love it. I hope 2013 is the year of me finishing projects. I love your first finish...way to go. Hugs
Even with interruptions you seem to be sticking to it, Carrie! A little bit of work goes a long way! I have to laugh - I finished up a UFO for the next door neighbor yesterday since I have none of my own!
Cheers!
Sounds good to me Carrie! I too have been mulling over some ideas for this new year!
Life does get in the way of sometimes, doesn't it? Kudos for managing to work in some time for yourself (and UFOs) even though the day didn't work out as you intended. :)
I've tried to join this month but I miss the date line I think sice the linky already closed.. Anyway I will follow along...
Looks like a good goal for January!
Yes, I need to work on mine as well instead of starting new things.
