UFOs

I hear a lot from others concerning UFOs and wanted to tell you about a way to get some done. I have wonderful friends and we decided to issue a challenge to each other about UFOs. At the beginning of the year we make a list of our UFOs and one of the group tracks the finished ones. In order to keep everyone "honest" the finished project must be shown at our monthly meetings. Whoever finishes the most, wins a prize at our Christmas party. So grab some friends, issue that challenge and get going!

Winter projects




Dang, it sure has been a nasty winter but at least I have had time to sew because it was too cold to do much else. I made oven mitts and pot holders for my sister and myself as you can see in the top photo. Pretty easy stuff. I have also finished two more cat wall hangings; Avocato and Eggplant Purr-mesan. They are just too cute. The blocks are Garden Patch Cats (TM) by Helene Knott for StoryQuilts.com I love working with batik fabrics so these were really fun.

Hope everyone's weather improves soon. Have fun and quilt a little.
