Judy, I love your BOM'S done up in Ricky's fabric--stunning!!! I'm doing mine in many different batiks for a scrappy look. I'm working on the March block.

Right now I've got to get a baby quilt made and finished before May 7th--My son & DIL are having a girl!


Congratulations!! May is just around the corner. Our grandbaby isn't due until October and that feels like forever. We don't know what sex it is yet.

Here I am again...I just recently joined Carol Doak's Yahoo group so that is one more thing for me to do. Just finished her March BOM that I'm going to use as one of the blocks in a lap robe for VA hospital. Also working on Quilts of Valor. And the TQS BOM. And another BOM at my LQS. And I still haven't quilted my first convergence. Golly, there must be more I can't think of right now. Oh yes, I knit for Toasty Toes (going overseas to servicemen) and Prayer Shawls. That's while watching TV and DVD's.

I don't think that I could even begin to calculate how many UFO, Un Finished Orphan. I looked in one box and counted 10. I know I have over 20. Let's see if we can compete to see who can finish the most UFO's by 2009.

Here is the short list:

My Rhapsody, is semi cut out, completely finished in my head. (priority project)

BOM, Thimbleberries from 2007, top done, not quilted
Gate quilt, laid out, ready to be quilted
2 convergence, ready to be quilted
Seahorse quilt half quilted
Grape vine, with house, half quilted
Dear Jane, 10 blocks, BOM, not expected to finish until Dec 2009
TQS BOM completion date of Dec 2008
Small doll quilt basted
Hand quilted double size quilt in the corner of my bedroom, 3/4 done
Tree of life quilt, morning hand applique project, over 100 pieces left at 5 pieces per day. a pleasure to work on no hurry.
Giraffe quilt for friends birthday in March (Priority)
Small wall hanging for gift, (priority)


This is my short list. I will slowly conquer each project. Do you think I can do it?


Let's see your list......


Okay I am finished with two of my WIP, only a few more to cross off the list. I posted these two quilts in my blog.

Linda, we live about 12-15 miles from East Troy ( north of it). We moved to North Prairie from Winchester "up north". Used to visit Bayfield every so often. Gloria

Gloria, how do you know about Bayfield? I'm ashamed to say I have to ask where North Prairie is located. :roll: I'm suspecting the east side of Wisconsin; I like to think I know the rest of the state pretty well. I've lived in Wisconsin most of my life, but now we are leaving for a home in NW Arkansas. My DH can't stand the long, cold winters anymore. We still have family "up north," however, so this will be a difficult move for me. Sorry to the rest of you, I know this has nothing to do with quilting... :(

Not having a stash just seems wrong. I realy believe in the concept of "to each his own" and admire someone who is that disciplined but...It seems to me that not having the stash would limit those creative impulses. Just my opinion. Gloria in southeastern WI
PS Bayfield is such a beautiful area.

OK , I have to chime in. I have quite a few UFOs but I try to stay on top of things. Right now I'm working on a hand-quilted job that started about 4 yrs ago. I am nearing the end - yippee!
My list:
1. Hand-quilted snowball & nine-patch
2. 3 - pc. stained-glass nativity (is that 1 project or 3?)
3. Double- wedding ring, queen-size, that my quilting group talked me in to doing with them; not even completely cut out yet
4. Kaleidescope quilt, again the idea of my quilting group; top finished, needs to be sandwiched & quilted
5. Baby quilt for new grandson
6. Just received the kit for TQS BOM!

I'm not counting any patterns or fabric purchased because I want to do it "some day." I have a quilt friend who seems unique: she not only finishes everything she starts, but she also refuses to have a stash! She buys only enough fabric for each project. Have you ever heard of such a thing? She takes a lot of ribbing from the rest of us.

Here's a website that may help with your UFOs:

There was a post on another list that they are in dire straits for quilt tops, etc.

Thanks,

I have two complete tops that need to be layered, basted and quilted or tied: a huge bargello (probly gonna tie it), and a scrappy quilt. I've just started my youngest's heirloom quilt. It oughta be pretty cool. Also, I've started making yo-yo's for dolls for the grandbabies. On my list of quilts to get started on are five baby quilts. Lots to do! I love it! :)

I have one completed top that needs to be quilted. I have completed my Jan and Feb blocks for Bouquet for a New Day quilt and I am getting ready to start my son's Mariner's Compass Quilt. But under the bed in my daughter's old room is the first quilt I ever started - about 1985. It is about half quilted and I doubt if I will ever finish quilting it. I may rescue part of what is quilted because my kids 'helped' me quilt some and I want to keep what they quilted. That is if I can tell their quilting from mine. I have come a long way as a quilter.
