Ice Blossom, I have the same superstition you have about starting and finishing projects on the same machine.
Hence why I have several UFO's that will have to be taken apart completely and re-sewn with the machine I have now. They were JoAnn Fabrics BOM's. And were started on my trusty Kenmore. When it died all of sudden and couldn't be fixed, those projects came to a grinding halt. Those are on my todo list for next year. It definitely gives new meaning to at least finish the quilt tops in their entirety. (One at a time.)
I am working on my Pat Sloan, Winter Fun QAL quilt top. I want to get the sashing strips sewn to most of the rest of the quilt. I am still waiting for the last block to come out. But, I can finish a lot while I'm waiting. I also need to fish out the next project to work on. I'm not sure if it will be a UFO or a new make. Loads of both of those on the list. I am thinking about treating myself to a new make. I just finished the border treatments on 5 old UFO's. (UFO's are born when I get to the outer borders. Ugh, really bad habit. I think I have 4 others still waiting on borders.)
Happy Thanksgiving. My DH and DS and I are having ours on the 14th of Dec. They are both out of town on business. The day doesn't matter. Spending time with family and being grateful for what we have does.
Bonus, I get a great sew weekend to myself. Now, I need to get going and take advantage of it. See you ladies later.
