    Love everything that has been posted. I was bad again in May...nothing finished. I went away for a few days with friends, and we visited 8 quilt shops. One had over 22,000 bolts of fabric! What fun! Then I spent a few more days with the same friends and we sewed nonstop. But I worked on gifts, no UFO's.
    I am also doing some remodeling, and I have one room almost completed. Hopefully, I'll have it finished this weekend. Since it's my craft room, I am really excited!

    Kris, at least you didn't add more. I did. Let's see--right now I have a doll quilt, and three more blocks I promised to an unnamed member of the board. Mailing swap blocks (13 total) tomorrow. And really cleaned my sewing room and sorted scraps, and found some PP patterns (on muslin, so you know how old those are) a half-finished feed sack Dresden plate top inherited from my aunt Fanny, and another entire top in pink 30's fabric, with backing attached, but no batting, that also must be from her. BTW, 30's refers to fabric that is likely from the 30's, not repros.

    Oh, and my brother's going away to college quilt that needs to have the Lemoyne stars taken off the background--ugh, satin stitched--and reapplied to another background, because he wore it out. Do inherited UFOs count? My brother graduated from college in 1966, but I inherited that one from my mom. And then there are my own two quilts, two wall hangings, one table runner. And refinishing the treadle irons, mounting them to the cabinet, hoping that the three incomplete sets have one usable frame combined. And getting the Singer 66 to sew again. And three sets of 12 each of swap blocks that need to be made into something. And the potatoes need to be hilled again. Wait, that has nothing to do with quilting.

    Oh my , You are one busy woman. I was overwhelmed just listening err, I mean reading. Just keep telling yourself one project at a time in order of due dates. You must be very organised to be able to accomplish all that you do.

    Krisb, taking one project at a time and seeing it thru is a process we all need to learn, myself included. You have a very busy agenda there and like Judith said, you must be very organised to be able to accomplish all that you do. You will do it, we know you will, yes you can yes you can yes you can one foot in front of the other, just put one foot in front of the other. Oh that is a christmas song form an oldtime show.

    Hugggggs and smilesssssss everyone! Doing my happy dance as I post another finish for you all to help me celebrate. The wedding quilt is complete!! Yayyyy!!! Not in time for the wedding, but at least they are still married, LOL. I am so excited to be sending it off in the mail later this week after I do doctor appts tomorrow. Hope to mail it out Thursday. Here are photos of the front and back. I even made my DGD an apron for her birthday this coming weekend today after finishing the quilt. A dear friend from the board sent me the fabric; isn't it great? My DGD loves to cook with me whenever we get together. She is going to be 9. WOW![ATTACH=CONFIG]341702[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]341703[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]341704[/ATTACH]

    wildyard--I really like the wedding quilt and apron too. I am sure both will be greatly appreciated!

    I was able to "start" another UFO this afternoon...it is using a pattern called "Jelly Girl" by Fig Tree.
