WIP & UFO Challenge, are you game?

A friend of mine stopped by and we end up going shopping in consignment stores for our sewing rooms. I found a few cool thinngs for my room. So nope...quilt did not get done....there is always tomorrow.

beautiful!!! I have one other UFO and its a sampler. I only have to finish one more block but I hate the block I need to do. I tried it twice and messed it up...maybe I will try one more time after I get this butterful quilt completed.

I finished my DS's Penn Dutch Quilt (his Christmas present), I cut the binding (not easy with back problems), sewed the binding, etc. and did a label on the back.
The top quilting was done by Carol the LA, she did a great job, but got it done the Monday before Christmas.
I can scratch 1 off of my 'list'....now for the other 32!

Happy New Year and Many Blessings to all,
MaryAnna

Wow you ladies are rocking!!! Love the pictures and also what you are all doing. I am still FMG'ing my quilt...taking forever! more than half done. Attachment 359741Attachment 359743

I was having problems with my thread breaking...what a pain...but than I thought I would try a different type of needle. The Blue needle that is used for jeans...worked!!! What a difference!! No more thread breaking. Thank goodness...I was going to give up.

Finished FMQ'ing my quilt. I am so nervous..trying the leah day method...sorta...I sewed around the edges...and then put it in the washer/ wool setting. The batting is alpaca....fingers crossed...I have head it really shinks...I will hand dry it than bind. I have neve washed before binding before...I hope I don't ruin this quilt...oh...and my cats won't even go near this quilt they hate the smell of the batting. Hoping the smell goes away in the wash.
