Welcome, Madeline, and thanks for your service.

Welcome Madeline! We all work at our own pace, some faster some slower. Me, right now I think I'm in idle I don't think I have finished anything in 4 months. But I am getting my sewing room cleaned and organized.

Happylab - Love the 3 finishes you did a awesome job!

Quiltmouse - 159? and the oldest is 47 years? You have a outstanding memory! I'm with Teen cheering you on!

Teach - 3 Quilts in 4 weeks? Did you eat or sleep? and the log cabin is great!

Conchalea - Congratulation on rescuing orphan blocks from being a long term UFO and getting a table runner. Love to see pictures soon of both the runner and the Unwind quilt.

Petthefabric - Way to Go!!!

Teen - How is the house coming? Are you liking the new area?

This past weekend, I finished putting borders on 2 that were two and three years old. These are ready to go to the quilter's. This is what I count as no longer UFOs! :D

For my continuous UFOs, I have:
2 Saturday Samplers (three years old)
3 or 4 Strip quilts
1 Embroidered horse block quilt
1 Embroidered car block quilt
2 Panel-themed quilts
1 Halloween quilt (11 yr?)

That is the count I can remember for now. I know I won't get all of these done, but I can kick out some of them in the next 5-1/2 months!

Forgot to ask which branch? I was Navy years ago.

Welcome home, Madeline...a thousand thank you's for your service. :hug: And, welcome on the UFO train...

Dedemac....home build is going great and I'm loving the Northwest!! So happy here but miss the sister and mother-in-law we left behind. Going to see them next week so all is good! Thank you for asking! And...thank you for your service, too! I'm a Navy brat...lol..

Still,working on hexi and daisy projects. Hexi 4P backgrounds are done...now just need to sew hexi flowers on them. I really like it so far. Trying to squeeze in sew time in between house build stuff.

Welcome Madeline, and thank you for your service.

I've been so busy fabric-chasing to complete those two 20 yo projects, till I feel that I am peddling backwards. One of the project is a self-improvised and that's why it can't come together. No pre-planning of direction or design. I just got to keep at it and when it comes together I will take pix of it and post them here.

Happy Sewing everyone---Cherryb

I got an A+ for this past weekend! I got the two 3yo Saturday Samplers done, one 2yo Saturday Sampler done (I forgot about this one), and one that was a quick request for a sick Uncle.

These three are to be packaged this evening for the long-armer.

This final one is one that finally came back from the quilter. It is a graduation gift for one of my cousin's kids. I have one more to be all caught up for graduations--at least for two more years.

That is all that I have pictures of for right now.

Those are great quilts for graduation presents, Motorcyclemad. Congrats on finishing!
