UFOers--Join me today to work on some UFOs
 

Well, UFO Friday has arrived. I'm going to work on some applique UFOs that have been sitting around much longer than I would like to admit! If you have a UFO, please feel free to join me. Or if you want to start something new, join us as well. I will check back here periodically. Please post pictures if you want.

Going out to pick up a sewing table will join you when I get back.

Don't mind if I do. Last year I pieced 1000+ scrappy courthouse step blocks over the summer and made 3 queen size quilts and a few nap sizes. Now there are a few UFO blocks around, with just a few left to do and I'll have a couple more nap sizes. Then there are the blue string blocks. Some orphan blocks that I may piece around with strips so they are the center of big log cabin blocks. And a basket full of other thought about projects. Looking forward to the day.

Mine is not an UFO but a WIP. I have the day off and will be working on it. Are you showing pics?
I can't show mine because it a surprise for a member of the QB. quilt for quilters 2013 swap. see you at the sewing room!

I'll join you. Our guild has a UFO challenge due at the April meeting. I haven't completed as many as I would have liked. The other guild has one due in October so will keep going. I have one I'm machine quilting, 2 that just need the binding stitched down, and 1 hand quilting that is getting close to being done. Will work on the machine quilting today until I start to stress and then go to the handwork.

Welcome to all! Glad you can join us. I'm making progress on the machine applique but I can't say it looks very good. It's Banana Cat from the Garden Patch series. I think I'll consider it a practice one and give it to the cats to lay on. Maybe they'll use that instead of what I'm actually quilting. I'm not sure I like how the machine applique is going, I know I need more practice. But I may try some hand applique down the road.

I'm still in my jammies and plan to work on my many UFO'S most of the day. I have finished one and after this tea break I will start another. Having a nice relaxing day---and getting some of this clutter out of the way.

I have a borderline UFO...it hasn't been sitting around that long, I just hate it. However it is a commissioned piece for a friend and they love it! Which is good, but it makes it really hard to motivate myself to work on it! Might try and join you for some work today!

Just returned from 4 hour trip. Going to patchwork a dog coat sey all later.

This is the Banana Cat finished. I didn't like the way it was coming out so didn't complete the face since I'm letting the cat have it! I even sewed her name on it :)

Raggiemom, that's adorable! :thumbup:

Oh, hey, we're having another UFO day? Excellent! Except I have no UFOs :(

Can I hijack the day and use it as a virtual quilting day and just come sew with you all when I get off work? :)

That's fine with me, Teeler!

Cute Banana Cat! I'm doing the giant UFO that is my back yard today. Though I did take a top to the LAQ before we went to Home Depot. :) Will be thinking of y'all!! (and no, the back yard UFO will not get finished today....it's going to be a WIP for a while)

Well I've just stopped sewing. I have managed to chop a piece out of my finger . No sewing for the rest of th day at least .

qbtexas, well that's still a UFO!

dottymo, hope your finger isn't too bad...

I'll join the UFO/WIP progress, since I got out of work early. I've been plugging away at a lap quilt for my grandmother in law who has dementia and requires full time care. Here is the plan and my current design wall (sorry about the red design wall fabric, its all I have on hand right now)!

That looks fantastic!

kae- what a beautiful design!
I'm taking a break from the B9...I'm OFFICIALLY 1/2 way through the rows!! Who knows if they'll match up at the end...
What's everyone else working on?

@Teeler & Raggiemom, thanks so much for the compliments. I've only got a couple more blocks done (DH keeps distracting me with various things) but the quilt feels like it is starting to come together finally.

Thanks to all who joined me yesterday. Although I only completed the one wallhanging, I felt like I accomplished a lot because I then spent quite a bit of time researching and watching videos on other ways to applique. And now I know how to make the next one better. The rest of the weekend I'm going to sandwich and quilt a couple quilts hopefully. It's just my husband and I for Easter, so after lunch, I can quilt some more!

If anyone is interested in doing this in April, just let me know and I'll figure out a day :)

REal cute, Cincinnati. We have no relatives here in Tennessee and I have problems traveling due to pain, so - we went to Church this AM as well as Sunday School; went out to eat and here I am. It's chilly outside and sort of rainy-like. When I was a child, it was an entirely different story in Ohio, south of Dayton. We always had a big celebration for Easter; Easter eggs had been colored and baskets had been filled from our Easter Egg hunt. Those days will always be remembered. D
