2017 Resolution: Finish FIVE (5) UFO's - one down four to go!
I don't make true New Year's resolutions, but I do give some thought to what might be good to try and accomplish in the upcoming year. For 2017 I came up with two goals.
One of my goals is to complete FIVE of the numerous unfinished quilting projects I have by year end. I have forbidden my self from buying any new stash fabric until these are done.. Some of these are projects I started and put aside. Some are projects my Mother started and I inherited. Another group are projects from a friend of a friend who was moving didn't want to transport them. And the last group come are display samples I was gifter.
Well, today I completed number one. This is a generous twin size quilt top that my Mother made. The colors would not be my choice, but each piece was beautifully sewn together by hand. My quilt guild is having a charity quilt drive for a Kenyan school/orphanage. This seemed like to perfect place for this. So I got backing and batting, assembled, machine quilted and added the binding by machine. It is a good job, less than perfect, but certainly good enough and I am feeling very pleased to have it completed well before the deadline in May. I will proudly deliver it to the March guild meeting.
Next I am attacking a lap quilt top that I got from Angel's Sewing in Salem New Hampshire. It is a display sample and I've targeted all of these for my church auction for fund raising. Also want to complete a baby quilt which I got from the friend of a friend for the auction. As these are smaller I am pretty sure to meet my deadline. Look for them when I am done.
