My hubby and his other 3 brothers have decided to come home anyway and are en route through snow in Ohio.
They are all beyond exhausted and emotionally spent. I am preparing the house now for a relaxing homecoming so he can just plop and drop, get a back rub in his own bed, and tell me all about it. Which should take 32 seconds. He is a man of few words who keeps too much in. (i balance us out with too many words. LOL)

Please add a Big finish: embroidered 50 states is done, done Done!!! Pulling out next UFO scrappy that has one row left to add.
Zozee: Prayers going in your family's direction from me and I hope your BIL is resting comfortably.
Retiredteacher09: I chuckled when you said you were reading to infant Jack. How right you are, never too early to start reading.
Bugaroo: Love the quilt!
WMUTech: Wow!! That's what I call a Big Finish. Is there a category for the oldest/most challenging UFO of 2020? As per Marlon Brando, you could be "a contender!"

Congratulations to the 3 declared finishes since the last count:
grann of 6 PM’d to say: “Hi, Kris, I am excited to say i just finished the pineapple quilt, so you can add it to the finishes for Feb. i hope to have one or two more finishes this month.”
A big hip-hip-hooray to all the finishers!
This brings us to a total of 11. Halfway through January we had a total of 27. Let’s pick it up, self. (I need to say this to myself, because all I have been doing this year is the BH mystery). We have 14 days left.
If you have a finish on the thread and I missed it, please PM me and I will add it.
we would just 💓 to see pictures of all your beautiful creations. To make adding a picture easier (making the magic paper clip appear), use these directions:
Including Images and Attachments (as of 24 Jan 2020)
The attachment is just a test. Now I need to figure out how to delete it.

Zo...take time with your family. Thinking of you...G
krisb..thanks for taking over for zozee so she can take time with her loved ones!
Welcome to the QB and this thread Motley...the more the merrier!
I'm stitching the binding on a big UFO...a queen sized that's 20 years in the making...but tax season calls and after Monday I should get this finished!
On a side note...when you scroll back and forth real fast over Dedemac's avatar photo it pulsates like a whirligig in the wind...mesmerizing!

The bed set is from a local furniture store "Alexanders". Its real wood and finished to an aged look. Queen size. The Farm Girl II quilt is queen but will fit on my king bed. HOWEVER, the quilt is going in the kitchen! I have a stackable washer/dryer right as you come in the door. I have folded the quilt and it drapes down the side of them.

Congrats, Quiltmom! I bet that is beautiful. My MIL did a 50 state quilt and each block is embroidered. It's my fav quilt of hers.
Thanks, Bugaroo, for sharing about your bed. It is really cool!
I picked up my 2 quilts today (1-WIP and 1-UFO) from LA'r...Tomorrow, sewing the binding on both. So, I should be sharing a finish with Krisb tomorrow! Yea! Also, dropped off a year old UFO and she said she'll get it done quickly so maybe I'll have another Feb finish..
