This is going to be the year to finish up projects that have been languishing! The black Applique is now complete! Started in 1998! When I started pulling projects to get organized, I found this sweet piece hiding....happy it's out in the open again! there is quite a bit of FMQ in the black....can't see a stitch of it in the pic! The applique was done by hand-I think my skills have improved in the last 15 years!
The snowman quilt was a free BOM by Ann Sutton, Snow Happy Hearts. Was fun and easy to keep up with the blocks. I struggled a bit with the final layout (most used theirs as sweet ornaments) but I am happy with it. Now for that final pesky step "quilt as desired"!
I have several more projects waiting their turn....shame on me!

Lovely stitching!

Congratulations on getting two UFOs done! I am still trying to finish up two Xmas gifts and it is already Jan 5th!

Both projects are beautiful. I especially like the snowmen in the hearts.

those are great

These are two gorgeous pieces. Glad you took them from the UFO pile and now are completed projects!!

Go, Jill, go. Very nice and congratulations on finishing some UFOs. Good feeling.

You've been very productive right at the beginning of the New Year! Both projects are beautiful!

Great start! Love the snowmen, my goal was to finish one before starting something new...then I started looking around and grabbed a new pattern for a sweatshirt jacket! My goal lasted about five minutes!
