I'm like some of the rest of you who want to finish UFO's. There's 3 of those that are high on the priority list. GFG, which used to be my "work" project. Let me explain. I drove an 18-wheeler for 20 years & for the last 7 years I always had a quilt to work on while I was being loaded or unloaded or during "down" time. This was the one I was working on when I retired in March of this year. It's nearing its completion, just have 10 more flowers & the rest of the border to assemble & then quilt it. The other 2 have been in the UFO pile for several years. "Blooming Hearts" is a Baltimore album type that's turning into @ 84" square. Needless to say, it's all hand appliqued. I'm down to putting the borders on & quilting it. I want to show this quilt. The other is a Lonestar titled "Texas, America's shining star". Since I gifted myself with a LA as a retirement gift, I've revamped this one. I'm pulling the applique off the drawings & replacing it with quilting. This one will take quite awhile just to quilt. It'll also be a show quilt & hopefully be able to put it into Paducah for 2014. I have a few others that need to be finished, but not on this level. I'll do a few swaps throughout the year, do a couple of mystery quilts & keep improving my LA skills. That's enough to keep me busy!
