Design Wall Monday- December 27, 2010
Not much quilting going on here right now. My daughter is still visiting from NYC until Wednesday and she is finding lots of things to do that involve me. I do have a quilt to machine quilt that is a birthday gift for 12/31/10. So, that's my project for this week. I am anxiously awaiting Judy L's first number she draws for the UFO challenge. Since none of my UFOs are very far along each month will be lots of work to get it accomplished. Trying to not start anything new until then. Don't worry, I have another baby quilt to machine quilt and binding to do on a queen size quilt so, I won't be bored until Jan. 1.

Design Wall Monday- December 20, 2010
Several friends have asked why I haven't posted my quilting activities on my blog lately. Truth is I am finishing up the projects I am giving as Christmas gifts. The first picture is a queen size cafe au lait quilt that I hand quilted. I pieced the quilt in February and it has been my hand project while I watch TV in the evening. In October I realized I was only about half done- mostly because during the summer months it was too warm to put on my lap! So, I had to start putting in some serious hand quilting time and last night I took my last stitch. Binding this week and it goes under the tree!
This next quilt is one of two I am making for friends. I machine quilted these on my home machine. The other one is blue and white. Binding is done on this one. Other one will get done this week also. I pieced these during the summer too and thought I was doing good. I need to learn to complete the project. Yeah, right, when signing up for Judy L's 2011 UFO Challenge I found at least 12 UFOs! Instead, maybe I should not be so ambitious in giving quilts as gifts. We all know it certainly costs more that buying a gift. But so fun to see how they are appreciated!
Happy Holidays!

2011 UFO Challenge
UFOs All Boxed Up & Ready to GO- 12 of them!
I am going to participate in Judy L's 2011 UFO Challenge. One UFO a month will be completed in the order Judy designates. Some of these months will be tough! Most months I hope to piece the top. After I piece the top, I send it to the longarmer and when I get it back, I put the binding on. I love sewing binding while I watch TV. I'm not going to set my goal to complete the entire quilt in a month because the time retraint I have is how backed up the longarmer is at the time. I'll post pictures with each month's UFO. Click on the button on the right side of this blog to follow the challenge. Here's to a productive year of quilting- 2011!2011 UFO CHALLENGE
