Sync

I have another UFO finished ....... “happy dance”. I started this quilt in 2017 and my niece decided that those were her colors, so this became Fallon’s quilt. Now as soon as I finish putting on the label I can ship it off to her.

Well I am paying the price for cleaning and organizing my sewing room and I have/had three boxes stacked in a corner since I moved 4.5 years ago.First box, re-discovered some family letters from WWII, so coo,l as well as some other family keepsakes and a lot of odds and ends that are not of any value, recycled those. Box two an old dress from my hippie days, a lamp from when I was a child and...............4 UFOs! One is the blocks from a mystery quilt from at least 6 years ago. Blocks done, I think. The second a bag of orphan blocks someone gave me. Third a half square triangle quilt that can be made bigger for Project Linus, sort of an "I Spy" and a sweet pinky pastel baby quilt that needs some borders. Just when I was feeling so proud of only having a couple left. Tee-Hee-Hee! Lesson learned: Beware of boxes with unknown contents. They may be incubators for UFOs.

PS: I haven't had the courage to open the third box.

Sync - great finish!
thank you for all your words of kindness everyone on the "spotted cow". Tomorrows project is to make a gift bag for it.

Sync, I love the stars with pinwheels in the center! Patterns within patterns are a favorite of mine. I also love the colors.

I checked with my son, see how he was doing with supplies, asked if he needed anything- his reply....” I was hoping things would start opening up, so I could pick up more colors - I don’t want to keep taking all your fabric” I was touched by hos concern. But, assured him, I would have to live to be about 200 to use what I have. 🥴
I packed up a new box for him- 15+ more yards out of my way!
he has been very adventurous and enjoying learning new blocks- he even offered to teach me how to make a ( hollow cube) block on Monday. We got together on our phones and he made one along with me- taking me step by step. He’s going to make a great teacher!
here’s what he’s been doing ...
the lone star one he played with for a few weeks, put it together into a fabulous quilt, now has moved on to tumbling blocks

CK, your son is doing beautiful work! His skills are progressing rapidly.

Ok, duh— that post was supposed to be on the Fabric Moratorium and somehow I put it here on the ufos- sorry
i have completed a couple more UFOs, my stack is getting smaller. I think I only have 3 left- although I do have a few to bind. I will set aside a day to get those bound very soon. Yesterday’s ufo finish was a table cloth I started 5-6 years ago.. I like it on my table- don’t know why it took me so long to finish it.
The quilt is a gift for my uncle- just need that binding now- it waited 5 years to be quilted
