A snowman bookmark. Small but at least it is completed and out of the UFO pile.

Just too cute...

I live in OK, I don't shovel snow, it will melt soon. If anyone sees me shoveling snow, look for the pod, there will be a pod b/c I've done been body snatched. lol lol lol I do work for a living (as in not retired) but if there is to much snow to go, so be it, I'll wait. lol

Nice finish rryder. If the weather cooperates (which it doesn't sound like it will) I hope to finish one this week I'll root around for something small.
And by the weather I mean no more snow and wind snowing us in. I have spent way too much time with shovels this month! It's amazing how hard those drift become with some wind.

Look at you ladies I take off and go to the MLK Celebration and you all get plenty done, proud of you.

PatriceJ, love your finishes.

MtnMama1955, congratulation on your Snowman finish.

Let's keep it going.

Putting away fabrics from a box that had collected the leftovers from several of last years quilts, I came across stacks of 2.5" squares. Some were already in 9Ps, some in strips of 2 or 3, and many still single squares. I have these from 2 different quilts, one in pastels, and one in reds, blacks and whites.
I am eager to see your finish for ideas of how to use these squares!

LaurMac, welcome and I hope you do find some inspiration to finish some of your UFOs here. I must say that you have one of the best excuses for having UFOs that's I've come across so far!!! LOL, smiles and hugs!!

Drop in on the 2.5 swap group here on the Board. There are lots of examples and ideas just waiting for you to try and to use up those 2.5s.

PatriceJ, love your quilt and retro fabrics. I am also admire Belfrybat's Easy Street and her color collection.
Wonderful snowman project Mtnmama.

I managed to piece 80 blocks of my Nautical UFO quilt over the weekend. It is a throw size and didn't call for a border so I may just put it in a sandwich just as it is...[ATTACH=CONFIG]565925[/ATTACH]
