Trip Around the World Finished
This is probably the oldest UFO I've ever had but its now finished and in the dryer as we speak. While in Florida waiting for the house to sell I got bored so bought another simple machine and started making some quilt tops. I was very new to the quilting bug so made lots of mistakes. Decided to make a quilt for my mother and one for my older sister. Made 3 quilt tops in my waiting mode before the house sold and I moved up to Iowa. Well, mother moved in with me at 1st and saw one of the 3 quilt tops I'd made and she wanted the logcabin one instead of the one I'd made her so I finished the logcabin for her. I found someone else to give her original quilt to so not problem there. Then my sister saw a pattern she liked and no longer liked the one I'd made her...........hint, hint......the Trip Around the World. So told her if I could find someone else to give her quilt to she would get the other quilt. Obviously these people don't understand what goes into the making of a quilt.........time, money, efforts, etc.
Anyway, went over to the Senior Center Office to see if they have raffles and if I could donate a quilt to them. Yes, so finally finished quilting it and now its in the dryer so I can hand it over to them for this year's raffle in March. So only took from 2008 to early 2016 to finish it.
Not the greatest photos but its too cold to take it outside to photograph today at 1 degrees. Just glad its off my UFO list.
