Darling kitties, Janice! Congrats on the finish!

Krista, that is a gorgeous quilt!

I have a UFO finish, of sorts. I donated a top to a local guild yesterday, and they will quilt it for charity. I guess that can count in our total, as it's now out of my hands?

I really like that Kristakz. Great use of color and design, and the contrast of the organic quilting with the geometric piecing adds another layer of interest.

Jaba, since you've done xs, you know! I've got a similar problem with my vision so my finest xs work is behind me. I used to love working on 32-40 count linen but I don't think I could do it anymore. And I've got so much stash, silks, overdyeds, beads, fine linens, charts galore, I just don't know what to do with it all. Makes me sad to think of it all just sitting there.

Wow, kristakz, you finished your oldest UFO! What a fine accomplishment. It's beautiful. A big TOOT, TOOT for you. Congratulations.

And then more ages waiting to percolate to the top of the quilting list. Finally got my act together and quilted/bound it last week, just in time for an upcoming trunk show.

Janice I know exactly what you mean. I've got boxes of books and 2 complete sets of DMC plus extra's just sitting here. Aida in all the sizes and colors. Guess I need to have a garage sale or something but I hate doing those so it's boxed up..If you ever need something let me know, I probably have it

Janice and Jaba, there's a place called Stash Unload on the Internet where you can sell stuff to other stitchers. I'd check it out because you might make some new stitcher very happy to get some of your stash.
