Here I am at our Guild meting last night showing my completed table runner.\"Show<\/a><\/p>\n

We have a UFO Completion Contest at\u00a0our Quilt\u00a0Guild this year. \u00a0Although I took this completed table runner for show and tell last night, it doesn’t count towards the UFO Completion Contest as your UFO has to be from before 2012. \u00a0Because I started this project on January 2, 2012, I am just outside the time period for the contest.<\/p>\n

I did show another project at Guild this month that does qualify for the UFO Completion Contest though. \u00a0I finally took “Plum Dotty”<\/a> for show and tell at the Guild. \u00a0Plum Dotty was finished to the partial flimsy stage on July 5, 2011. \u00a0I say partial flimsy stage because after I had this one together, I put it on the bed and decided that it needed some more blocks to make it wider. \u00a0Adding just a few more blocks to make it wider proved to be a challenge because I had run out of the black and white and white and black dot fabrics. \u00a0After getting some help from a friend in Oregon who helped source out more fabric for me, I was able to add the extra blocks. \u00a0The quilt top then sat for a long time until I had\u00a0time to quilt and bind it. \u00a0I finished Plum Dotty on September 12, 2013, just in time to show at the Fall Fair in our town on September 13 and 14, 2013.<\/p>\n

Here is Plum Dotty on the bed. \u00a0This is a perfect quilt for winter – not only does it brighten the room at an often dreary time of year, but it is heavy with the extra foundation for the blocks and the flannel back.<\/p>\n

\"Show<\/a>I wish I could say that finishing these two projects has caught me up to date with my UFO’s, but sadly it barely scratches the surface.<\/p>\n
