Exactly right, TK. Anyone can join at any time. It's never too late to work on your UFOs. WELCOME Marcy P!
QltrSue, thanks for the info. I think the scrappy hand-tied one will be next once I finish the Courthouse Step lap quilt I'm finishing up now. I put the first side of the binding on this afternoon. It's not as nice as I'd like but I'll live with it. Done will be better than perfect. It will take me several hours to hand stitch the back side of the binding so I should have a pic in a few days.

Janice, we all look forward to seeing your latest finish. All of you who have finished a UFO are to be admired by me! I am slowly working on hand-quilting the UFO baby quilt. I thought I would be done by end of January but like one of you who mentioned a few posts ago..I think it is looking more like end of February..but I am plugging away. Love how so many new folks are hopping on board and Janice, you are Engineer Extraordinaire!!!

I just finished this fun little table runner on Sunday, January 17th.

Bunny Table Runner – Pattern by Terri Atkinson / Waffletime
This project was started in March of 2008. I found the fun Bunny fabric while attending the Fox Valley Sewing Expo in Oshkosh, WI. What I thought would be a fun and quick table runner for my spring table took me almost eight years to complete. This was one of those project where I just had to finish the binding. I am looking forward to using this during the springtime season this year.

Halloween Night – Fons and Porter Love of Quilting Sept/Oct 2005 This project has many first. This is the first applique piece I ever did and is also the very first FMQ piece I ever did. My MIL and I went on this yearly retreat at Camp TaPaWingo in Mishicot, WI that was sponsored by the Lake Shore Quilters quilt guild. When I received my Sept/Oct 2005 issue of Fons and Porter I immediately fell in love with Halloween Night. I was already registered for the quilting retreat and asked my MIL to help me learn applique and made the main body of this piece that weekend. It sat dormant till April of 2014 when I decided to use the piece to practice FMQ of a stipple pattern on the Handi Quilter. I had never done any type of FMQ and just bought the Handi Quilter in December of 2013 and had a client quilt that I had no option but to hand FMQ the stipple. Once again this cute little piece sat dormant till I finished the binding. But now it is done, and I will proudly display my piece of firsts.

Toot! Toot! Great Job, Anoka Quilter. Both are long term UFOs so they are extra special. I especially like your Halloween night! Congratulations!
Let's hear it for AQ!
