My May Finish

I have another UFO finished this month - I finally got to take up the last two pairs of trousers for Mr Fixit.

May finish

I finished an afghan that I started back in September.  I did most of the work in the car, until the very end.  It was getting to big to travel.

Now I get to start something new.

Workers Play Vest

I made these vest for my grandsons. This past weekend was their first birthday party and the theme was Construction Zone.

Had their name on the back to show who was who.

If you would like to see more of what they as decorations and game I posted it here.

May Finish

I finally finished my Bonnie Hunter Mystery Easy Street.  This is a really large quilt with lots of little pieces.  I didn't think I would ever get it finished.  I had originally thought it would be a good quilt for my little Granddaughter since her bed is aqua blue, but after putting it all together it was just a little too gray for a three year old.  Maybe when she is older.

A LITTLE FINISH BEFORE HAVING A GO AT THE DRESDEN PLATE QUILT

I've been meaning to make a soft cover for my Husky... the one that came with it is big and cumbersome to store.

So, I looked in my UFO stash and found the front panel for a cushion I'd made a couple of years ago... and turned it into a cover for my machine.

ABOVE:  I am rather happy with how it looks.  I have never made a cover for anything before, so luckily it worked out.

 ABOVE: Looking good... even if it's not exactly perfect.

ABOVE:  now my little Brother has packed a wobbly and wants a flash new cover too!  Maybe later.

NOW I have a finish for May!  Not bad for me.  *smiles*

ONWARD...

FOUND!!!

After having misplaced my Dresden Plate Quilt (BIG UFO),  by having it packed into a huge storage box along with masses of other furniture etc after we had a flood in our house back in January, today we found it!

We went over to the storage facility and totally unpacked that huge box, and we found my PHD (Project Half Done)... or as we also call them... my big UFO.

ABOVE:  as you can see, I have masses to do... I'm doing it using the 'Quilt As You Go' technique.

ONLY... I have never used that technique before... so at some point down the line, probably MONTHS from now I will be asking for some help with how to join all the blocks together!  Anyone know of a good tutorial video on You Tube?

For now I will concentrate on getting all the blocks assembled and quilted... cos I can do that part on me own.

I am in love with this quilt already... I adore blues.

I hope everyone is having fun working on their UFO's, I will try and fit in some small UFO's while still working on the Dresden Plate Quilt too.

ONWARD...

From one lonely orphan block........

 I needed to make a pin cushion for an pin cushion swap -in a hurry.  I unpicked the stitching back to the middle section for the pin cushion.

 Added a bit of bling to finish it off.

With the remaining corners I made 4 coasters and with the remaining 2 middle/side sections I made the mug rug.

That is one more thing out of the UFO cupboard, a pin cushion to swap, and  items to add to the Christmas gift box.
