I have 2 quilt UFOs. One's because I can't FIND the thing. The other is because it just needs a binding. Since I have to do that by hand, and it's summer time, it's too darn hot to work on it now. When it gets cooler, I will.
I have one metal embroidery UFO I like- but it's big and awkward to handle, and I'm worried that I'm not good enough to do it justice- and that I don't have enough of the threads to finish it. They are very hard to find threads, and I can only shop for them in person once a year, and this year I won't have funds or opportunity to hit the shop (The Pennsic War is my only reliable source!). This shop is in two weeks time, and I can't make it this year. =(
All other UFOs are projects that I will benefit from. Therefore they get shelved so I can work on stuff for other people. Gifts have deadlines, and have more pleasure in the giving, than the showing off of my own new things.
