I still have not received back my 1UFO and WIP from LA'r. Ugh! I had hoped for a January finish but I can at least add to FEB. plus....a new UFO will be swapped with LA'r...so that's 2 for Feb..... That's my goal...

Congratulation!!!! our first for the month! Just PM Zozee a few posts up.

Judith: Congratulations on your quilt finish. I like the pastels. Also, enjoy your grandchildren.

Well, I worked a little on a top that should have been an easy finish. The donor of the fabric had all of the squares made, joined, and most of the sashing cut. However, I decided to work on a BOM and on a different person’s UFO from this board.

I’m having a very hard time staying on task today because my first grandchild is on his way. Well, I thought he was anyway. :). My son hasn’t updated me since 1 pm today. I did tell him to concentrate on my DIL and baby and text me when he arrives or if my son wants me there for emotional support to let me know. I just didn’t think he would take it quite so seriously. Lol!

My goal is to finish 1 UFO top this month.

Good evening everyone, boy!! I don't ride the train for 1 day and look what all has happen. Finishes, new riders, and baby-sitting duties about to begin

Congratulations to Motorcyclemad on your two finishes, Zozee on your 1 finish and Judith1005 such a beauty. Hooray for such a grand total for January, way to go everyone

Judith your baby-sitting duty will be so enjoyable

For February's plans they are looking and sounding good. I'm going to really focus on packing and discording some more things. But, I did give the LA one top and I am thinking that I will give her one more. Thirty-five is not a bad goal. Thanks Zozee for keeping the count

February Count starts here
 

Congratulations, countrymaid, on being our first Feb finisher!

Our count is 1. 34 to go.

Good morning WMUTeach, you keep at that hand quilting piece and you will make it to the club car. I've encountered a hand quilted piece a couple of times and they do take patience. You will be showing us pix of it soon. Remember today is VQW Special Super Bowl Sunday, join us for the sew.

Happy Sewing Day everyone

New babies! How exciting! Better than new quilts!

February Finish!
 

Hey all, I have a Feb. finish! It's 50" wide x 62" long and has been sitting around in the UFO pile for a couple of years. It started out as a simple practice piece for doing raw edge appliqué. I was just using a spare piece of light fabric and a bunch of my scraps and practicing putting them on it with my sewing machine. Then I decided to make it into a funky art quilt using decorative stitching, etc. but never got around to it. When I pulled it out last month to try and finish I pinned it to my design wall on top of a batik quilt and realized that I liked the idea of doing some batik borders on it. So, no decorative stitching, just a border, sandwiching and doodle quilting play. I've decided to call it "All the Little Fishies" don't ask me why, that's just how I kept referring to it in my head while quilting.
Thanks for looking,
Rob
