22 yrs old, Marriners Compass. The center is done, just needs pieced borders. I really should dig it out and finish it

when i was a little girl (in the early 60's) my grandmother would give me these little blocks stamped for embroidery- i worked on them off & on for years- and forgot about them -
then after my grandmother passed away in the early 90's one of my aunt's came across a box in her house with those blocks in it- without knowing i was the one who had embroidered them she sent the box to me---knowing i was the only one quilting- i was floored when i opened that box! there were about 9 blocks in the box still not done- i did the same time grandma had done- i started giving them to my granddaugter-when she wanted to sew something- a couple years ago all the blocks were done- and i put a quilt top together--- then a couple months ago i came across it again- and thought---i really need to finish this up (and give it to granddaughter) so---dumby me--- i loaded it up and started quilting it---and at about 1/4 of the way down---ran out of thread-- unloaded it and again put it aside--and was really really stupid about the thread choice in the first place---i really thought i had another cone---but now i have not been able to match the thread color - so i'm not sure what i will do- i really don't want to take out what i've done- some day i will finish that quilt that was started 50 years ago---someday... |
22, I started counted cross stitch blocks to be used in a quilt when I was pregnant with my now 21 yr old son. Still not finished, surprised it has survived about 7-8 moves. lol of course directions have been lost.

I started one around 1998-99. Not even half way done with the top and haven't touched it in at least 5 years.

Birthed in 1983.

I have 2 sets of blocks from 1993. One set is for a queen and the other set is for 2 twins. Taking queen set to LQS this week and letting gal there finish and quilt. I will get the twins done this week and then off for quilting. Then I will start on UFOs from this year.
