Don't Forget About the 

2013 CGM UFO-Along!! 

Come one, come all craft UFOs!! All types of craft UFOs welcome (quilting, sewing, knitting, crochet, scrapbooking, jewelry, etc...) 

Join the Flickr group, post your FINISHED UFOs there and be entered for a monthly prize.

Prize for January: $25 Gift Certificate to Fat Quarter Shop!!!

"Rules"

You can enter as many FINISHED UFOs as you want each month.
 
Only 1 entry per UFO, but you can post multiple pictures of each one so we can see it from various angles.
 
To qualify as a UFO the project must have been started in a previous month to the one you are entering. i.e. if it is January, you should have started it in December or earlier, not in January - that's a WIP!
 
You can win a prize more than once in the year as your photos stay up all year. However, you cannot win 2 months in a row. i.e. if you win in January, you can't win again until March. 

Keep posting all finished UFOs all year long because you never know, there just be a big grand prize at the end of the year for the most # finished!!!!
 
Most important "rule": HAVE FUN FINISHING YOUR UFOs! If it isn't fun anymore, it's probably time to just let it go.
