MAY UFOs TO BE COMPLETED......Hopefully!

Ok! Ready set, GO!!

These are the 3 UFOs I want to work on this month.

First is the sashing & borders for my Tea for Two blocks. I would like to get this quilt top done.

Second is to bind my Strawberry Fields Forever quilt. It's been a UFO way too long

and my 3rd UFO is my embroidered Halloween Blocks. I want to get them all cut to size and ready to add borders. Or at the very least get all the fabric cut for the blocks around the border.

Wish me luck! It's a tall order for me because I have a lot going on. No different from anyone else huh?

LOL! 

APRIL UFOs DONE! WOOHOO!!!

Little Susan is done completely and so is Antique Toy Sewing Machines! I also picked my fabrics for my Tea for Two quilt top. Pictures may not be in order but they are here! 

I really enjoyed quilting these myself. I have been broadening my free motion quilting and am no longer as scared as I was. They are so right when they say practice, practice, practice.

I will be using the blue for sashing and borders. The pink will be used as a accent border.

April UFOs

I am going to put my embroidered antique sewing machine blocks together. I embroidered the blocks years ago. Would love to have this completely done by months end but not sure how my surgery will go.

This next UFO is was a gift of blocks from my secret pal several years ago. I have no idea where she got them nor who made them. My secret pal was Lovina Payton. Wonderful lady.

I want to pick the fabric to sash with and the borders.

The 3rd UFO is four blocks I embroidered called Little Susan. I got the pattern from one of the quilt books a couple of years ago. I learned a valuable lesson with these blocks. You use crayons to color them with then embroider the blocks. I did it in reverse and I discovered I couldn't get up close to the lines. Live and learn. Still came out really cute. I want to have this little 36" X 36" table topper quilted.

That's plenty on my plate for April!

Let's see how well I do....

MARCH UFOs DONE!

I finished putting my Little Susan wall hanging. Just needs to be quilted. I think it is adorable. I learned a valuable lesson with this little wall hanging. When using crayons to color in the embroidery work, it has to be done before I embroider otherwise you can't color up to the lines!

This is Hanks birthday Family Album Quilt. I was so happy with the way it turned out as well.

He loved it.

I also finished my Blanket of Flowers quilt. It is quilted and bound and entered in a local quilt show and I forgot to take a picture of it completely finished. It is beautiful but you will have to just take my word for it till I get it back mid April when I will post a picture.

UFO's for March

OK.....I didn't get all four UFOs for February done but I got 3 done and that makes me happy!

Now I am listing my 3 UFOs for March!

First, I want to finish putting together my Little Susan Table Topper. They are 4 embroidered blocks and sashed with 30s fabrics.

Second, I want to finish Hanks family album memory quilt.

3rd, I want to finish my Blanket of Flowers quilt top.

So, there it is.......my 3 projects for March.

3 UFO PROJECTS DONE AND 1 TO GO!

Well, I have my windmill appliqued on, the mailbox on and finished sewing down the little quilt and tree top! Now all I need to be caught up this month is the sashings on my snowmen wall hanging.

UFO Committement for February 2013

Because life gets in the way, I didn't get to finish my last 3 UFOs for January so.....that said, I will get those done this month, February and cut out my sashing for my snowman blocks.

ONE 2013 UFO DONE

Well, life happens and I was only able to finish one of my UFO projects and that was squaring up the snowman blocks. They are ready to be put together.

Happy New Year!

Here's wishing you all a very happy and prosperous new year! 2012 came and went with a bang! Way too fast if you ask me....But, 2013 will be an even better year, I just know it!

I am so blessed and I thank God for everything and everyone in my life. We serve and awesome God. The same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Once again, I have lined up UFOs to do in 2013. Carrie P http://apassionforapplique.blogspot.com/, has a UFO project going and very well worth following! If I read her post right, you sign up to do 3 in January and the other blog is Judy Laquidera at www.Patchworktimes.com  that is doing this as well. On Judys list you sign up to do 4 UFOs.  I love both these blogs and use them a lot. Sometimes I join in challanges, like this UFO Challenge, which will be different from 2012.  They can be small or big, whatever you think you can produce. Go check out their rules.

These are my 4 projects for December:

1. Square up Bunnyhill Snowman blocks

2. Add windmill to my Our Village quilt block

3. Add mail box to Our Village house block.

4. Applique tree top and mini quilts to Our Village

house block.

 The Our Village quilt top has been in the making since 1993! Can't wait to see it done!

December UFO

Working to finish up my December UFO! Almost done!

And this is the finished quilt top! Sashed with spider web fabric and bordered with candy corn fabric!

Can't wait to quilt it!
