UFO From Pam

The baby that 'belongs' to this quilt turned one year old about the time I finished, so it became a birthday present instead of a baby gift. A Pam special .... Making it up as I went along!

Sara's Been Busy Too!

I got this picture from Sara and all I know is it is FINISHED!  Perhaps she will comment about more details!  Thanks for sending it in.

Some Finished Birthday Placemats

Here are three pieced place mats I made this past week to celebrate the birthdays in our family this month. I don't know how this counts towards a UFO, it was just something I've been thinking about doing with scraps and here they are!  For the full story, go to my fiber blog at www.colorfibertexture.com.

Painless quilting tip!

I ran across a quilting tip today that is such a great idea for being so simple!

Wind 5 bobbins. Once you use all 5, change your sewing machine needle and clean out the lint around the bobbin area. Then wind 5 more bobbins and repeat : )

Now if I can only find a way to remember to change my rotary blade . . .

UFO Clarifications

We've been asked for a ruling: what if you just BOUGHT fabric for a quilt last year (or earlier) and never actually cut it out or started the quilt. Would THAT count as a UFO for 2012?

Answer: Yes.

Next question: What if you started TWO quilts, ended up disliking them both, and left them unfinished on the floor by your sewing machine for the dog to lay on. Would those two TOGETHER equal one UFO?

Answer: Don't be silly.
