Glojean, your little quilts with your mother's embroidery are so special. Congratulations on your wonderful finishes. Toot, Toot! I think these might just be our last UFO's for 2016.

Well, that year was going to be 2016 - however, I couldn't find the embroidery pieces. When I looked through one of my decorative boxes that holds a lot of different projects to be finished, lo and behold, I discovered the embroidery! This was the weekend before Christmas so I had to work fast - put a simple border on all three and quilted them, finishing them in time for
Christmas. My nieces were thrilled to receive something lovingly stitched by their beloved Grandma and finished by their Auntie. Three more UFO's off my long list.:-) |
2016 Total!
As we are now three days into 2017, I'd better post the tally for 2016. BUT FIRST, congratulations go out to our December finishers who had a combined total of 43 UFO finishes for December.

Your color choices are always inspire me to take more risks with color. .... I did use variegated thread in that first one. I enjoy using it when I can be pretty sure that all the colors will show up on the quilt top (if I want the quilting to show rather than just be a texture), but it can sometimes be problematic. I once tried to use it for an all over edge to edge design and had it not work out at all because there was one color in the thread that disappeared when it landed on a part of the quilt that had a similar color and value--my design ended up looking very discontinuous--almost like someone had gone behind me and erased parts. As a result, I ended up spending some quality time bonding with my seam ripper:eek: :D Rob |
Amazing number!
Way to go, everyone! Connie |
What a great tip that I hadn't thought of. Thanks for sharing. I definitely don't like spending quality time with my seam ripper so I will have to audition my variegated threads more carefully.
