Good heavens, folks, you all are amazing. I'll update the tally and give a shout out to the finishers soon. I'm in the midst of housecleaning and need to pull out my computer to log all these fabulous finishes. Be back later!

I've got another 5 that made it to the floppy stage, but don't know if any will get quilted and bound by the end of this year.
However I'm determined to get this one done, it's been hanging around for over two years. It's all done by machine, and I've got to finish putting in the centers. It's a runner for my cedar chest.

Doggone, MacyBaby, you make me feel like a slacker!!
I don't know if I'll get any more UFO's done before the end of the year or not. I unexpectedly had two customers (one of them BRAND NEW!!) contact me with tops to quilt for them. The new customer wants CUSTOM quilting on an amazing Christmas Baltimore, and one of my regular customers is bringing TWO tops for me to quilt for her.
Fortunately for my sanity, both ladies are saying "No big rush!" on these. None of them are slated to be Christmas gifts.
Did you hear my big sigh of relief?!?
So, perhaps I'll just hang these up for a little bit, to let them "talk" to me, and knock out a couple of UFO's... and of course, we can't forget Bonnie's Mystery Quilt that's going on as well!
Add in that I do work a fulltime job (with an hour commute each way), and we're all in the middle of the usual Christmas mayhem, I think I must truly be crazy!

Aren't we in the "start new UFO" part of the year? I'm in on the mystery too. But...I'm working on my Orca Bay UFO in between. I doubt that anything else will get to a finish, but I'll try to contain the starts.

Macybaby, Well, my, oh my! Toot, Toot times 6. Congratulations on all of your wonderful and beautiful UFO finishes. (I'm sorry, but I'm having difficulty replying with a quote. Anyone who missed the pix, go to post # 2726)

No, no, no! But of course, if you must, you must! But we'll be here next year too.
