Okay, some of you have ufo that are older, however who has the most. My ufos go back to about 1992 and there are at least 40. And that is quilt the quilts, does not include sewing projucts.

Oh dear I think I will probably "win" this one. When my gd was born I started a Raggedy Anne doll and it still isn't finished (she is now 26). Isn't that terrible, but I have made her a lap quilt and one for the bed. I just can't seem to finish that doll.

I have two my mom, now 92, started years ago but never finished--I need to do that but it will take some time to figure them out. All cut out pieces, now just decide how to put them together.

Here's an idea that works for some of us....a group at a local church opens their social room up to quilters one nite a month for work space. The ladies have had a hubby cut some PVC pipe to raise up the table legs on two 8 ft tables high enough to use as a space for sandwiching quilts. We have access to all their tables and counter space in the kitchen for cutting and sewing. Everyone brings their machines and a small snack and we can sew from 5 pm to midnite!

Here's a reason to finish that Raggedy Ann doll. I just saw one in an antique store that was old and kind of ratty looking made from the same old McCalls pattern I used to make them from---it was marked $60.00!!!

Oh...I forgot to add...my oldest ufo is 17 yrs! It's partially quilted and I lost the stencil before marking and quilting the rest! One of these days, I'll get brave and try to make my own stencil I guess. Can't find it in any of the stores.
