When I first started looking for my UFOs I was feeling rather smug. "Not too bad", I kept telling myself. "See you do finish the projects you start!" ........Then reality came quickly as I kept finding more and more UFOs that had been shelved by the wayside along the way. Next thought was WHY? Perhaps it's some of my perfectionist qualities and as I became dissatisfied with one part or another, I'd became disenchanted and shelved most of them to procrastinate to another day. Be it I ran out of fabric, wasn't satisfied how my techniques produced the units, and wanting to finish it in my own unique way (of course I have difficulty being told what to do and have prided myself with these rebelious attitudes, lol!)
Irregardless UFOs they all are and then some! Truthfully I even have more that I know of but didn't want to hunt them down for a photograph. Some off the top of my head are the Mater quilt, the lone star I recently (March 2013) bought the backing for, some BOMs started, humpjumpers and string blocks in the works, etc.... Anyways, here comes something.... my UFO Parade.
 |
| 10 minute blocks out of Batiks started this month |
 |
Stack of Double Four Patch Humpjumpers -
(Notice how I even spun the seams on each block!) |
 |
| Some assembly already started |
 |
| Convergence wallhanging in the works, but this will be done this MONTH! |
 |
| House Block Swap with Jane of Jane's Fabrics done last year, 2012 |
 |
| Tree Blocks also swapped with Jane of Jane's Fabrics last year, 2012 |
 |
| Conway Blocks started in 1998 or so??? |
 |
| More Conway Plus blocks- nine appliqued total. |
 |
| Tesselating leaves class with Carol Doak, probably started around 1994... Adding to it very rarely, notice those bear paw blocks, those are circa 2000 perhaps. |
 |
| Dresdan Plates started at the turn of the century. May finish this as a table runner. |
 |
Class with Joan Ford (2012), used fabrics from my quilt, Bird Song that had a nine patch variation theme which was finished in 2008.
This will only be a pillow, still a UFO though. |
 |
| Lil' Miss Shabby - 3 blocks left to stitch. That means 9 made of this quilt too (notice any repitition of that number?) |
 |
| Ironing Caddy started at the quilt retreat a couple of weeks ago. |
Since I'm sharing my bag of magic tricks like a little bag of dirty secrets,
I thought you may like to know one more thing about me.
Here's a real time shot showing a part of my life
Under the desk in the den.
Guess I like to throw my shoes off or should I say my flip flops.
 |
| See Gina, these pink and purple thonged slippers are being used right away and are so comfy. Thanks! I love them. |
So without further adieu, my first UFO to finish will be putting all of these away. lol
See, I can finish something!
Enjoy your day.
Jane
