I got the blue and cream UFO finished from post #1450..Will try to get pictures posted later...

Next project is a bag made from upholstery samples. I used press on vinyl on it as some fabrics are light colored...found a nice floral in my stash that will be used for lining and outer band and handles...Will take picture when done; it's been a UFO for a while. Maybe I will get two done this month....

willing to adopt maker of pretty pillows...just a thought.

Love the pillow rryder even though I'm not a rooster person.

I've never done needlepoint. I'm tempted seeing your work.

Rob, very nice rooster, your mother will like the pillow.

I'm not about to discourage any sewing related UFO finish so Rryder, it's a finish that counts to me! I love the pillow btw. I used to do a lot of needlepoint years ago so I do appreciate your work. TOOT TOOT on the Rooster.

I finished the needlepoint part 3 years ago and have been meaning to turn it into a pillow for my mom ever since. So I finally got it done, just in time for her birthday tomorrow. YAY! The back is a piece of a velvet remnant I've had for ages.

I have two finished UFOs to report. The first one is a Trip Around the World crib sized quilt. The second one is a twin sized quilt that I started for my granddaughter a year ago. I had the top done fairly quickly but it has taken a year to get it quilted. I visited her this weekend and finished the binding while I was there. The photo was taken before the binding was attached.

Hi everyone!

Wow, even though the train has slowed a little, there have been some amazing finishes!

MadQuilter, I had no idea you were so bloodthirsty!! I will never look at Sunbonnet Sue in quite the same way ever again!

Rob, love the pillow!! I used to do cross-stitch, so I know how much work went into this.

And all the other finishes - just WOW!

I feel like SUCH a slacker now. I doubt very seriously I'll get to a UFO for May. I have an order for a "Clemson Tigers" wall hanging (paid customer, so I'm not turning that down) and one of my regular longarm customers came by this weekend with a small project. Again, a paying customer, so my UFO's will have to wait.

Add to all of that, I was tagged for not one, but TWO major projects at work, so I've been putting in a lot of overtime on my job. Fortunately, I'm NOT salaried, so I DO get paid for OT. But really - 55 hours is draining, especially when you add a one-hour commute to it.

Good work, quilters!! I'm cheering for you all... and hopefully, I'll get back to my UFO's in June.

LOL, I am only documenting her bad dreams. Can I help it that she is watching scary movies?????

Oksewglad - congrats on the finish.

Granny2cc - Very pretty quilt, I bet your GD really liked it. Also, congrats on the baby quilt being completed.

A couple of other groups I participate in here on the board have taken me away from my UFO. If I am lucky I will still get in another finish before the end of the month.

Way to go Granny2cc. I bet she loves it!
