A big train whistle welcome to those who recently climbed aboard!! How great to have you with us. Looking forward to seeing your UFO's turn into FOs! Printing " UFO Donation Center" on my forehead for Corky. LOL

I'm sorry Dee, but there is something you said that I can't quite understand. Can you please explain what "use up the rest of my scraps" means? Somehow this is a concept that completely escapes me. No matter how many scraps I use, there always seems to be just as many as when I started. Is there, perhaps, some magic powder or potent you sprinkle on them that keeps them from multiplying in the night? Or even maybe shrinks or dissolves a few each day?
I even changed the container I kept mine in, fearing it might have had the powers of the Stone Soup kettle, but apparently the container is not the problem. Please share your secrets with us as I am sure there are many who would benefit. P.s. two doggie beds are done |

Just finished my Project Linus Quilt. This has been hanging around in semi-complete form since Thanksgiving. Finally got the binding on.

When I got a long arm last July I decided it was time to do it - but of course I needed to get better at my skills first, because I do love this quilt (that was November's excuse, when this quilt came up for the UFO challenge). Finally, this month I said Enough! I made myself load it on the long arm before anything else, so that I had to finish it. And here it is! I lost a fight with my rotary cutter in the process, but my finger is healing and the quilt is complete and now resides on my son's bed. A whole year before he goes away to school :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]388994[/ATTACH] And a closeup of some of my quilting. I did stitch in the ditch around the stars, after this picture was taken.

Beautiful finished UFO's I am seeing already... I am jumping in (but please don't make me count them!)... I would like to accomplish one a month as well! So wish me luck and I wish all of you the best as well! But, I don't know how to blow the whistle!!!

Absolutely beautiful!

I didn't give up on the challenge. I just worked late til midnight. I did get some sewing done, and another dog bed completed. That takes care of the uber bitty scraps for now. Today, I will finish that little baby quilt. Just a little scraper it is.
