I don't want to bore anyone but if everyone thinks it's a good idea I would sure like to see the actual projects while in progress. Not just when done.

Ok! I agreed to join this thread before Christmas, but said I wouldn't start untill after I got my sewing area cleaned up. It is finally done!Yeah!! As I was cleaning I set aside all my UFO's as I found them:
1.- Dresdon Plate - have been cutting blades for about a year. 2.- Grandmother's Flower Garden - This has ben my take along project for over a year 3.- Fall Wall hanging - at least 2 years old 4.- Paper pieced wall hanging- only about 8 months old, my first try at freezer paper piecing, Class project. 5.- Snowman quilt- only about 4 months old 6.- Bargelo quilt- Class quilt, do not enjoy working on it, about a year old 7.- Square in a square quilt-Class project,made from kit, first time with Baticks, don't like the color, 5-6 yr. 8.- Quilt of Valor - This one is special- for my nephew 9.- Yard sale quilt- found hand emb. squars need to be sashed and joined 10.- Block exchange - from Boomarang 5 East, 3 monthsold 11.- Flannel quilt - Odd size and shape blocks, can't find or remember pattern, had it for at least 20 yrs!LOL 12.- Have 4 very simple tops made by DH grandmother in Late 50's or early 60's need to be quilted when I get more proficent on the long arm. I know this is just a partial list. I am still going through my sewing stuf, while digging out Christmas ornaments found a plastic tub under a bed full of fabric! LOL Who knows what I'll find when I dig into the 2 full chest of drawers in the spare room! |
I am sure I signed on to this challenge last year....and life got in my way. So I will try again. I did get a Christmas wall hanging almost done over the holidays so that shall be the first on my "UFO" list to finnish. Need the binding compleated and a hanging sleeve. Several waiting to be done. Now I need to learn that little 2 letter word..."NO"! I can be my own worst enemy for saying yes to other peoples projects.

Here's my list -you'll quickly spot a theme:
English garden - Nine-patch blocks from a swap on an online group - needs quilting Abstract wall hanging - needs quilting Bag – a kit, fabrics selected, but not started Log cabin foundation – not started Large Christmas wall hanging - needs quilting Baby quilt – fabrics bought, not started Crumb blocks - have made a pile of these - need some more, then sashing and quilting Liberty fabrics, English patchwork. Sewn together - needs quilting and making into cushion cover Hunter’s star - needs to be sewn together and quilted Star blocks - a friend gave me about 80 small blocks. Need to be sewn together and quilted Pattern for a cover for my Featherweight – not started Sashiko kits - 2 x 12in squares. One finished, one in progress Hand piecing - a Quilt University exercise. Curved piecing, abandoned in disgust and despair! Christmas tree wall hanging - needs quilting Hand pieced stars - passed on by a friend - lots to do on this! Friendship stars - blocks from an online swap - needs quilting A quilt for my Mum - has been a huge struggle, now trying to find fabrics I'm running short of Waterfall – a design from Simply Quilts magazine. Have 103 batiks for this, but not yet started! Bright n black stars - needs quilting D9P lap quilt - needs quilting. If I do all these, I should be an expert quilter by the time I finish! |
I have a Venice Rose that has been sitting patiently to be completed. That in my January to do. I have a jury duty call for tomorrow, but if I don't get empaneled I will be ready to go.
