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.

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
