current UFO's

I'm currently working on 2 UFO's. One I found last week while looking for something else. I need to find the right fabric for the binding for this one. The other one has been interesting. I've sewn and ripped and changed my mind several times. I had the center finished and was planning to use the bonus blocks for a border. It wasn't working out. I have decided to leave the center as is for a lap quilt. I'm taking apart all the flying geese pieces and am rearranging them. I'm not sure what I will do with the blocks once they are finished.

4th UFO finished!

Good Morning Sunshine is DONE! It feels really good to have my 4th UFO done for the year! I quilted Caleb's name on the quilt 9 times.

These printed labels can be made very quickly. I frame them with leftover binding fabric and hand stitch them down.

4th UFO-Good Morning Sunshine

ok, this UFO was cut out and partially pieced some time ago. I've already made this pattern with this fabric for another baby boy. I was looking for something to work on Friday night and I dug around in my UFO drawer and found this project. I needed a quilt for Caleb for the month of March, so I decided to finish this one. I was going to call this quilt Sweet Dreams. I changed my mind after noticing the cute suns on the fabric. The following picture shows part of the quilt on my quilter. This is a really fun pattern to make. My daughter-in-law, Christi and I call this pattern the 9 to 4. I'll post a picture of the finished quilt once it's done.

Finished 3rd UFO

I had the Convergence Quilt book since it came out and I finally got around to starting it in 2009. I was given a bundle of fabrics that was enough to make the top and binding. I had to decide what fabric to use where. I love butterflies and this was a fun quilt to make. This is a shot of the label. It feels really good to have this one off my list.

FINISHED! #2 for the year

This is my 2nd UFO project to be finished this year. The eye glass case and this quilt were made from the same UFO. This is our grandson pretending to be asleep under the finished quilt.
I decided not to make a label for this quilt. I stitched the label info on the quilt starting at the lower left hand corner. This was fun and quick I may do this again on another quilt.

decisions, decisons, decisions!

well, I guess sometimes I think too much. I'm trying to decide on a backing on the scrappy UFO that I ave been working on. I hope I can make a decison today. I want to get this one quilted and off my list!

1st UFO finished!

This is a water color quilt that I started in 2009. I'm keeping this one. I just need to figure out where I want to hang it. This is a shot of the backing. I didn't have a piece large enough for the backing so I pieced the back. The floral is what I used for the front. I fussy cut a lot of pieces for the top. I love the effect.


This is a shot of the label.
