Find Your U-F-Flow

In-person or Zoom

If you have a collection of Unfinished Objects in your own personal Area 51, this lecture will inspire you to think through the whys, whats, and hows of getting those UFOs organized and finished. Becca walks you through the UFO Prevention Toolkit, which includes her own UFO decision-making flowchart and a project organizer to keep track of every step of your quilt’s journey.

Note to Program Chairs: Many guilds schedule their own follow-up program a few months later and invite members to bring in the projects they were inspired to finish after this lecture for a show and tell. That’s a creative way to fill in an empty month in your schedule!
