In fact, I'm beginning to scare myself.......... This morning I repaired a bag strap for my DD's friend using the instructions "Sewing from the edge of thick fabric" and "locking the foot in horizontal position to avoid slipping". It worked!
(I have made her promise to never, ever, ever volunteer me again as a 'Thank you'. I might be quilter one day, ain't ever gonna be that dressmaker, lol.))

Ding Ding! Kninette!!! One of my non quilting UFOs was a pair of fleece pajama bottoms that I got from Ocean State Job Lot - they were too tight in the rear so I opened out the side seams and inserted a fleece panel. I had to take apart the waistband which was a pain, but they are done and they fit! So good for you!!!!!!

This is my 2nd almost completed UFO of the year. It is the result of a class taken last fall with Debby Kratovil. Top is completed; DD will quilt it on her recently acquired midarm. It will be a practice quilt for her. I don't FMQ and don't want to spend too much time thinking about how to quilt and/or having to mark it. I just want this finished. I have too many UFOs to spend much time on this one. It will be donated to Project Linus. Love the colors.

Grammajo, are you sure you never worked in Montana at St V's hospital in Billings. I knew a grandma jo there and she was so awesome and special, just like you.

The pattern is Star Flower Wreath by Chickadee Charms Design Company. I started this UFO in 1997 and finished piecing it last spring...when I took credit for finishing it (shhhh, don't tell anyone). Charisma did the amazing quilting and I sewed the last stitch of the binding on yesterday.
