Day 25 – Joining Online UFO Challenges

Over the years I have joined several online UFO finishing challenges and I have actually met many of you through these challenges. They have helped me get quite a few UFOs finished, and I have noticed that the past few years I haven’t joined any… and my number of finishes dropped…
One year I joined the challenge hosted by Tag Along Teddies, which is not necessarily limited to UFOs, but is a challenge to finish One Project a Month. I made sure mine were UFOs 🙂 I’m sure if I went searching in my blog archives I’d find I got a lot done that year.
Another challenge I joined once upon a time was Sew It’s Finished, and again, I got lots done that year…
At the beginning of the year I found this challenge hosted by All People Quilt…. I almost joined it, but I was in such a state of disorganization that I chickened out…
I am thinking that next year I will join an online challenge again, or start one of my own… after all, with over 180 UFOs I need to do something! (oh, found another one yesterday… count is up to 182, with only two finishes…)
Are there any challenges you have joined that I need to know about? Please share them so that we can all have a few choices next year… or join them all 🙂
2017 Update:
Finishing Stitches has started again! Check it out here and join us!
I’ve participated in One Project A Month for the last couple of years, and it’s helpful to me. If nothing else, I’ll finish a doll quilt or placemat just so I have something. And I was in Sew It’s Finished for awhile, bur for some reason, I didn’t follow through with that one. I think I was a fairly new quilter at that time, and didn’t have many UFO’s to choose from. Now, I have tons of projects at all stages, so there’s always something I can pick up and work on, either sewing, quilting, or hand work. I know there are other UFO challenges online, but I can’t think of their names right now. Good Luck!!!
P.S. And it seems to me that if you can commit to bogging every day for a month, you’ll find time to sew every day next month! 🙂
Yes, I have joined a couple of those too – didn’t you host one also? that was fun…

Hello Joy.
I have been doing one project a month for a few years, its is lovely to know that there is that to kick start you if you are feeling a little slack! I have recently joined in a mystery cross stitch and are doing the Christmas one as well. Vareity is the spice of life.
Happy UFOing.

I’ve never joined in a challenge to finish anything, just push myself when I think it’s time to get my butt into gear, though I usually finish gifts for people. I’d be scared of looking a fool, if I said I was going to do something, then I didn’t. Take care.
