Under The Wire Once Again!!!

I was part of the Charming Girls group a couple years back, and this was a quilt along we did....the quilt is called Among Friends and it's been sitting in my quilt closet all quilted and waiting for binding.  Last week while on vacation I got that done!!!  The ticking bag in the picture was made in a class I took yesterday!

Thanks again to Wendy and Dawn for keeping us all plugging away at our UFO's!

May's finish and my 8th for this year

This wallhanging started it 's life 7 years ago as a rowXrow round robin in the craft forum.  I made the first row - log cabins and then sent it around Australia for 8 other wonderful ladies to make a row for it. The rows sat in a box for quite a few years as i tried to work out how best to sew them together.  2 years ago I finally bit the bullet and sewed 6 of the rows together, the other three are waiting to be made into smaller projects.

I quilted it last month and finally finished hand sewing the binding on a few weeks ago.....

 

Very excited to have one of the tops that have been waiting to be finished done.....

 

Now what UFO to tackle now....

Whoo has some finishes??

Whoo??

Why me of course.

These little fellows have been hanging out in my house since last year (or maybe even the year before that).

They were appliqued on but not sewn.

Well not any more.  Last night these 2 were sewn into pot holders

 

and now they can watch the goings on in the kitchen

 and let me know if something is burning.

 and these 3 were finished off this morning.

That big orange one looks like an 'angry bird' rather than an owl.

So that is 5 more finishes for April and 5 bits of 'stuff' out of the mess.  I think the orange ones will be going into my stall stock and I will decide about the red ones after the local show.

Yea! I have a Finish

Boy I finished the binding just in time to claim this as a March finish.
(It is 4:30 pm Central time in the USA, it is still March here )

I had started this quilt some years ago and then put it away.

So last year I finally finish the top and had it quilted

And it again had been waiting for me to pick it up and add the binding. 

Woe La 

Another 2 finishes

Another 2 UFO's have hit the finished list.
Number 8:

This table runner came about by default.  In our December 2012 sewing club the Christmas project required lots of cutting of shapes to be made into coasters and placemats.  I had been to my Grandson's Prep Graduation, so was late getting there, and seemed to be cutting lots but getting nowhere.  I came home with a pile of half cut out coasters, but not so sure about how to make them up.  As I had pieces cut out I then had to work out what to do with them.  My table runner was "born".

Number 9:

3 years ago when Grandchild no 6 was expected, I bought this sheep panel to make a cot quilt.  It was a girly one, but as time went on we found it was to be a boy.  The quilt had been started and was then put into the UFO drawer.  When Vicki was born last year I had forgotten about this panel until I sorted out my UFOs for my 2013 list.  I had already made her a cot quilt so decided to make this one into a floor rug.  

Those sheep really are so cute.
