LOL, lots2do, if I ever find all the safe places I have things in, I'll have found lots of things I don't even remember I have!

I'm not planning to leave the house for a few days... School was closed state wide on Friday for tomorrow and our kitten's spaying was postponed a week. It's been a really cold winter so far with multiple overnights below -30! Good weather to sew, read and snuggle up by the fireplace.

Thanks for the info... I want to give those cards a try.

In addition to complete some of my UFOs I also promised myself that I would FINISH one project BEFORE pulling out the next. I love to jump around on my projects (or start a new one if I get bored). So I sandwiched the next piece and had to wait for it to talk to me. It FINALLY did yesterday. Off to do some UFO quilting. YEAH!

WTG, madquilter!!! Can't wait to see it when you are done.

Asimplelife--I like that scrappy and the variegated thread. I do like that method of quilting. What I ended up doing was using white since the back on mine is pink and white, and almost every block on the front has white in it. I did SITD and am almost finished with the quilting. Ironically, as a quilter, my least favorite part of making a quilt is quilting. Good news is, I like to bind by hand, so I expect this quilt to be finished within the week.

I think, as a quilter, I'm really a piecer, as that's the part I love the most. Quilting is painful for me as moving around the bulky mass of the quilt aggravates my fibro and neck/shoulder issues. If I had a quilting fairy or elf, lol, I'd be one happy camper and never have UFO's except the ones I adopt from other people.

wildyard--I too enjoy the piecing more than the quilting. I have issues with my right arm (shoulder and elbow) that prevent me from doing anything fancy. I finish most of my quilts QAYG so I don't have to work with large amounts of fabric at a time. Maybe someday I will be able to do more....

WoW!! Everyone is getting busy. That's great..... cards, regular sized quilts. It looks like we have a train load already.

Someone said we should post pictures of the UFOs we are starting with.... so here are mine. I am working on 2 simultaneously.

The birds in the air quilt I started 7 or 8 years ago. It's been on the quilting frame for 2 years but I've only been able to work on it for about 6 months. That's because we spend 6 months of the year at our cabin and then I couldn't work on it last winter because I broke my arm. So, it's time to get it done. I'm kind of slow at hand quilting but I do love the look of it.

The cathedral window quilt is for my daughter to celebrate her 25th wedding anniversary. The problem is that she passed 25 years 2 years ago. Just 6 more rows and it will be done and I can box it up and ship it to her.

I'm hoping to get both of these done in the next 6 weeks..... we'll see if I can get that done.

nanna up north--very ambitious projects. Timeless quilts as well.

Nanna: Just beautiful quilts. They are lovely and the hand quilting is marvelous. Keep showing us your progress.
I've been busy in my sewing room, but not on UFOs. I joined a mystery and a quilt along, having great fun but it isn't doing a thing for my UFOs. These quilts will not be joining my UFO stack!
