If I don't finish something soon...

I may just go insane.  Too many UFOs laying about for too dang long. So I finally ripped off the band aide and decided to machine quilt a top I made last year.  I did a bigger format stippling with free motion quilting. It was hard to say the least,  since I have never done something this size before.  It was heavy and it was hot!

Here is what it ended up as.

Pinterest....

I've fell victim to a pin on pinterest and started a new UFO.  Because I don't seem to have enough of them in my life. 

I stumbled on this website and bought this little stitching roll pattern.

So spent about an hour prepping fabric and tracing the design on Saturday while the hubs was at work.


Then on Sunday morning, while I let the hubs sleep in (until 10!) which is crazy at our house where we are usually up and at 'em by 7 am, I worked on coloring in (tinting) the pattern.







I had a the movie "The Bishop's Wife" playing on my ipad while I colored.  Totally great way to start the day!

Last night I started on the stitching but didn't get very far but will keep you posted.

UFO!

Look out they are everywhere! Between the stitching and the sewing I have no where to turn

Here is the dresden plate UFO that will one day either be a christmas quilt or a tree skirt.


Here is the lap quilt I want for myself for the sofa as the weiners have take over the other TWO throws.


And last but not least, I have all this Spirit by Moda fabric that I want to make a large *gulp* quilt for one of the beds here at the casa.

Who do you sew for?

So much of the time my projects are for specific people - a swap partner, my sister in law, niece, dogs, you name it. Rarely have I made myself something except maybe some pot holders, or the cover for the mixer and recently an apron.

I have bought fabric to make the following:

Aprons
one for BFF
one for husband cousin #1
one for husband cousin #2
one for next door neighbor

Other Projects
one Crazy Dryer Sheet Quilt for the hubs
pot holders and kitchen towels for a friend and step mother
polar fleece cover for pad of the dog house
a tunic for myself for vacation in February
a tree skirt for Christmas for our new house
table runner for Thanksgiving for our tradition

This is what I currently have on my list. This list loves to change.

So who do you sew for and what UFO's do you have?
