2014 Drop and Give Me Twenty (DaGMT) Challenge

Well everyone - once again I am going to participate in this year's challenge ... and I hope to do much better than I did last year.

I even hope to get beck into the habit of posting here. But we will see how it goes.

 I, the QuiltingLioness, possessor of too many UFOs and/or more fabric than I can hope to use up in two lifetimes, am joining Quilting Hottie Haven's third annual DaGMT event, and pledge to quilt for at least 20 minutes  every day of the month of February, 2014. In doing so I hope to finish two commissions, one contest submission, reclaim my creative energy, clear out the clutter in my studio, make way for more fabric purchases, and ensure that my heirs DO someday have to sort through dozens of UFOs and then sell them for $50 each at a yard sale.

Additionally I believe Beth Helfter (Quilting Hottie http://www.evapaigequiltdesigns.blogspot.com) is evil AND brilliant for coming up with this concept and inspiring / guilting / shaming / motivating me to join.

Just as I did last year, and in another effort to keep myself focused and accountable here is my list of projects in the works:
