Connie - your finished Giant Swoon is lovely!

Anoka Quilter, Don't let a small mystery UFO be hiding bother you. I'm sure I have 3-4 of her mystery projects I need to finish. I want to start on her #13, I have the fabric picked out but, I want to finish putting on 3 borders for a QOV top and take off a border and put on 2 more borders on another QOV top. Then I can finish a few more UFO projects. I have at least 6 projects I'm itching to get started or finished. Have fun sewing and on your vacation.
Retired teacher, I love the Swoon quilt. So very pretty. That's another UFO I hope to complete this year. |
Must agree with you on that one Elly. :) Thanking my lucky stars I opted for a longer stitch length than usual as I had a feeling I might be pulling them out. I will not rush the sandwiching from here on out or think to myself as I did this time "that'll be good enough". Yeah, good enough wasn't nearly good enough! Lesson learned - another one - so it was a good experience in the long run.

I"ve done that as well - too many times to tell the truth even though one is too many. For me nothing reminds me to take my time sandwiching than having to rip out stitches (my second most hated job next to sandwiching).

Janice-- We all have those days... I've been known to quilt an entire practice piece without putting the presser foot down, looks great on the front,but what a mess on the back:shock:
Retired Teacher- beautiful scrappy swoon! Happylab-- love the mystery train, I keep thinking about trying a mystery quilt and yours may just inspire me to jump aboard the next time one comes up. Rob |
Rryder, Judy's next mystery will be in September. They are a lot of fun. I love her patterns. I don't think there has been a single one I didn't like.

Cool, maybe I'll be far enough along with my WIPs and UFOs that I can jump on board. Does she post them here on the board, or do I go to another website to get her instructions? Rob |
She posts them here on the board.

I finished my UFOs quilt. It was from the Judy mystery train #7. I enlarged it to fit a king size bed. I really enjoyed working on this quilt. [ATTACH=CONFIG]551794[/ATTACH]

FYI, Judy just finished a very pretty table runner mystery train #13. On this board. If you check it out, you will get a feel for what they are like. I like to follow along, but lots of times I enlarge the pattern, so it takes longer to complete the project.

I am so happy to post a finish. This one is called "Geheichnis fuer Mutti" which translates roughly to "Comfort for Mom" and it will head to Germany in the next box. I learned how to do the pattern on a craftsy class - it was so easy.
LOL, I guess today is going to be a sideways day. I have tried to straighten this pic out - it won't go. |
