I'm ringing the bell and tooting the whistle to welcome all the new members aboard this UFO train!!! So happy to have you all aboard!
I'm making no UFO progress, but I'm not standing still. I've finished some comfort quilts, done a spur of the moment Dora quilt for my great, great grand niece, started a t-shirt quilt and got more ideas for projects than I know what to do with. (nothing new there, lol)
Also, got enough more fabric in CA and OH while I was travelling that I'm going to have to do some serious sewing to make room for it.
To my delight, my sisters presented me with a quilt 'kit' they had put together for me. Since I had made quilts for both of them, they felt it only right they should make one for me. They worked together to come up with blocks that have very special meaning to each one; things we've done together, songs I've written, family memories.... of course they made me cry. The kit contained the blocks all made, fabric for sashings and fleece for the backing. While I was still in CA, we got the blocks joined together and the sashings added. Now I just have to get the backing on and quilt and bind it.
Naturally since it's my own, it keeps sliding to the back of the Do It Now pile.
Once I finish it, I'll post photos. It's really amazing! I guess it falls into the UFO pile, as we were meant to finish it in CA. LOL
