This is another UFO that was completed in 2005. This is a quilt for my bed. After many years of making quilts for others, I have something for my own bed. This pattern is Half Log Cabin by Sharyn Squier Craig. This quilt was quilted on my long arm in the Baptist Fan pattern.
I started quilting in 1997 thanks to my good friend, Colette. This quilt was one of the first projects that I started. After spending approximately 7 years on the UFO pile it is now put to use!
This was a quilt that had been on the UFO pile for years! This quilt was finished in time to be given away at Christmas to Brenda and Wayne.
This quilt is the Courthouse Steps pattern that was quilted in an overall meander on the long arm.
Happy New Year Everyone!
The main purpose of this blog is to keep my quilting friends in touch with my current projects and to provide a venue to receive their valuable feedback. However, I will also insert the occasional non-quilt related items to keep my family and non-quilting friends interested as well.
The beginning of a new year brings with it a renewed commitment to previous resolutions and starting over with a clean slate. I have been reflecting the last few days on last year’s resolution to finish UFOs–as many as possible. I feel I have kept that resolution–however, there are still UFOs in the pile! I listed out my UFOs last year and stopped writing at 46. The list is now down to 35 so some of those projects are now complete.
This year’s resolution is to continue on with last year’s resolution of finishing as many UFOs as possible. However, I have added to my resolution list for this year to reduce my stash–I will only start a new project if I can utilize my existing stash. The exception will be to purchase backing fabric.
I purchased an APQS long arm quilting machine in May this year and “Lucky” is definitely facilitating the completion of my UFOs at a much faster rate!
