UFO Group


One question a quilter never wants to hear? How many projects do you have going right now? Well, 2025 is the year to make that number a little bit smaller! We are going to be starting a UFO (unfinished objects) group! The goal of this group is to work on finishing up some of those projects and objects that have been sitting around. This isn’t a class, so there won’t be a specific planned direct instruction during the group at this time. The group will be meeting on the first Tuesday of each month starting in February 2025 from 10-4. This will be a bring your own lunch group. There might be some days we ask you to chip in so we can get some lunch from a local business. The cost for the group will be just $5 each month to help cover expenses of using the space.

Here’s what you need to do prior to the group:
Make a numbered list of a minimum of 11 UFOs (unfinished objects)-these are objects of any type: quilts, table runners, placemats, bags, etc. Try to add a few additional items if you have them. You will bring this list with you to the first group.

Prior to the day of the group, I will draw out a number 1-11. Whatever project is labeled with that number will be the project you will work on completing that month. Bring that specific project or parts of that project with you to the shop on the first Tuesday of the month to work on. Together, we will enjoy one another’s company and give suggestions for others on their projects if anyone needs advice! This is a collaborative group, but keep in mind that everyone is here to work on unfinished projects, so be respectful of others’ time. We don’t want to bog down any one person with too many questions and take them away from their own projects.

The hope is to finish up a project each month, but it’s not absolutely necessary. It’s okay if you’re still working on projects from previous months.
If there is a hang-up that you have run into on a project or something specific that has tripped you up, let me know ahead of time what issue you have, and I will try to figure it out and give a short demonstration at the group that month.

You can still participate in this group even if you’re unable to attend consistently. If you choose to participate in any way, you will need to provide your list of projects in the beginning. To make it fair for all participating though, I would like pictures of your projects before you’re working on finishing them if you’re working from home to show the beginning to end result since you can’t attend in person.

Now, for the best part! There are some incentives to help you finish up those projects! If any of the projects on your list are quilts and they get completed during this group and you choose me to longarm it, you will receive 15% off batting off the roll. This applies to any and all quilts on your list that you complete in these months! Also, if you finish all 11 projects on your list, then you will receive 25% off one backing you choose to purchase here for one quilt! That’s not even all of it! For every 2 projects you finish beyond the 11, you will get to play a game (think the Price is Right) to win a prize of some sort (a percentage off certain items or even FREE items)!

I have made a Google form to fill in if you’d like to sign up. This will just help me know how many to prepare for. This sign up does not mean you can make it to every group, but it does show a commitment! This shows me that you’re interested in doing this group with us and want to be eligible for the incentives. You can also sign up by sending me a message here, an email to allaboutpieces@gmail.com, or a call at 309-259-9489 and I will add you to the list!


Requirements: For each month, you will need to bring the numbered project that matches the number that is pulled prior to our group meeting. Bring any supplies you need to help you complete the project.
