Got a ufo quilted today and trimmed. Just need binding. Progress. Refused to start a new project.

Oh, Pet, you are a strong women to not start a new project. I am taking a UFO with me to my retreat this coming weekend and hope to get-r-done! Lovely quilt pattern but I got started and then it dragged on and on and on with so many other patterns and blocks that were more "fun". Hoping I can post some progress by next week this time! Fingers crossed.

Pictures, we need pictures.... please. ;)

Thank you Joe's mom! I'm so grateful to be here! And yes Gemm I hope the journey goes well!
Pet- Yay! What great progress! I'd love to see it too. And have lots of fun WMUTeach. Looking forward to seeing your finish!

Finished is good.

an observation; the background fabric is printed on bias. The blocks with half square triangles and other blocks on diagonal reflect the bias print of the background..

wow that looks great. Hugs!

We I completed 3 UFO’s last month. I’m working on another one and hope to complete by EOM. My goal for December, complete 2-4 more. Pending on my long arm. I’m having trouble quilting a baby top where 6 layers meet in the center of a block. The needle tends to stick in the area. Tonight or tomorrow I will quilt it out. If all goes well I will be done in less than 2 hours. Otherwise it could be many more hours. I will need to free motion the rest of the deign. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

The last week of December I plan to start another year of UFO’s challenge 2024. I hope to see old and new members.

i had long arm minor issues November & December. Now I’m working on projects I should have completed in October and November. I have now just switched to projects I want to complete before the end of the year and for family members.

I will be there. I have cut down on the number of UFO's but It still helps to have a "plan" and friends to encourage me to get after them. I will join in when I see the new post for 2024.

Keep up the UFO chase, Happylab. Only two months behind, well, that is not as bad as some one I know well. Tee-Hee-Hee.

I'll be right there behind you happylab. 2023 was a bad year for finishes here. I only finished 2 UFOs. Hopefully I will do better next year.

My most annoying UFO is the half-finished Laura Heine collage taking up my full-sized guest bed. I took a class in early Nov. and have been chipping away at the intense process of cutting and sticking things down a little at a time ever since. It's not as easy to maneuver as a project box full of blocks. With those, I can make a few blocks and then set the box aside to work on something else. Hoping that some snowy day after the holidays, I will put pedal to the medal and move the collage into the finished column. And I'll never do a collage quilt again!

Finished my MIL Christmas quilt! Not in love with the fleece backing. It shifted or stretched or something and I didn't get to do as much quilting as I wanted to keep it secure. The bulges become more obvious. It's also my first T-shirt quilt. LQS had a class in the summer and I finally finished.

Next up - MY quilt. I've been doing lots of client work on the longarm and my projects keep getting shoved behind paid work. But nothing in the queue so time is now (should I be so happy to not have paid work coming in? My machine was very cheap so it has already paid for itself)

Mkotch, keep at it on the collage project. The collage is #3 on my new things to master in 2024. #1 is FPPing, #2 is FMQ on my long arm. (I signed up for 3 QAL virtual events for 2024. I will keep you posted on how well this goes. I will have practice starting completing step 2 on BHMQ sub blocks (will kill 2 birds with one stone as the saying goes). Plus I have been collecting Christmas blocks using FPP technique. So next year I will have a new Christmas throw/twin quilt.
Oh well chiefs are playing in an hour. I don’t expect them to play well today. Several important players are on the disabled list. But a true fan watches whether they win or lose. So need to go figure out what I will be doing doing the game while I watch the game. I think pinning 4 rows together on a top center and squaring blocks for another project. And if time permits, maybe figure out where I left off on my Double Irish ☘️ stars ufo from a few years back. I want to finish this project before the end of January 2024.
Oh, well enjoy your UFO 🛸, and happy sewing/quilting everyone.

I will be looking forward to seeing everyone in 2024.

Good evening 'Happylab,' and you other UFO'ers, it's been a while since I have been around with a voice. I mostly lurk now days. But I am interested in getting back on board this ole UFO train. I am working on something now and I want to stay encourage to finish it and I know that will be well into the New Year. So, I am back. Happy Holidays everyone
