2019 UFO Challenge
#151
Pretty Christmas tree quilt, krisb! I have a similar panel, but with animals around the lit tree in the woods. Hope I finish it. Technically, it's not a UFO yet... it's just a 'too much fabric stash' right now.
I am not going to go rooting up all my possible UFOs. Too terrifying. I am just going to deal with the most "in your face" ones first, then see what else arises. I wouldn't dare try to have a count! (Shudder).

Welcome tohorse1 and momof3inmn! This is a fun group! I only have 1 UFO but 1 WIP is getting close to that year mark that I use for my personal UFOs.
SusieQOH: I'm glad you were able to move your mom closer to you and your sister. What a sweetheart husband you have for helping take care of your mom.
krisb: Beautiful Christmas tree quilt.
momof3inmn: I grew up in Central MN about 30 miles south of St. Cloud.

I would love to join this challenge. So I guess the first step is locating all of my UFO's??!! For me, that will require pretty much tearing apart my sewing studio to find where I've stashed them all!! Lol.
I'm curious, why do others end up with UFO's? Boredom? Change in taste/style? Time?

Welcome to the challenge. Handle your UFO's any way you want. We all work differently and we know what plan of action is reasonable and good for us. We are here to encourage one another to get some of these unfinished projects out of our way and into the hands of others.

Was the Summer Sampler an Eleanor Burns pattern? She has an entire new book of quilts with log cabins in the settings, that same way. It’s called “40 Fabulous Years”. It commemorates her 40 years in quilting, and because her log cabin pattern is what made her famous, LC blocks are used in every quilt in the book. It’s on my wish list.

Connie, thank you for the kind words. My husband is a huge help! As I said, he and my parents were always close. It was more like father/mother/son, rather than "in-law". My Mom has a huge support system and she deserves it as she was always there for each and every one of us.
While she's in rehab I've been working on an easy flannel kit from Shabby Fabrics. It's amazing how just a little time at the sewing machine each day clears out all the fuzzies that have been in my head since she fell.

tohorse1: Wonderful finishes!
SusieQOH: I was like that with my inlaws. My mother died at age 60 so my DMIL became my mom and my inlaws would include my dad in things. I was so blessed to have them.
