Wet Day = UFO Day

A beautiful sunshiny cloudy day with a soft drizzle breaking into a gentle shower at times ... perfect day for some sewing. Yesterday I layed out my next UFO so today I've made some 4 patches. These will have cream triangles attached eack side and sit on point between each row of months.

A lot more 4 patches to sew, fabrics are all from stash/scraps and no repeats in keeping with the calendar quilt challege for 2009, with 365 different fabrics...one for each day of the year.

While digging for the calendar pieces I came across another 2 UFOs that weren't on my list. First is blocks for a postage stamp quilt. I had participated in a few postage stamp charm swaps in 2012 ... packs of 100 x 2" charms (all different fabrics) sent and received from around the world. I have a design in my head.

This next one was an online monthly sew-a-long but I will need to do some research to find it's origins ... obviously an Alphabet quilt.

Takes my original UFO count to 28 for Finishing Stitches.  I'm sure there are probably more still in hiding.

Off to put the kettle on for a nice warm cuppa ... last week I wanted to live in the fridge.

UFOs and Finishing Stitches

Grabbing my mojo and running with it ... Joy of Days Filled With Joy hosts a monthly challenge to finish or at least work on your UFOs. Considering my collection of flimsy finishes this month I'm joining in. Visit Joy HERE to find out more.

My UFOs have been mentioned in earlier posts and are also listed on my blog pages above but to put them altogether I have written a list. Of course I'm pretty sure 1 or 2 forgotten projects could be added later.

Hmmmm, is 26 good, bad or middle of the road?  To date I have finished Calendar Bears and Jelly Roll Mystery to flimsy stage. My 3rd flimsy finish is Because I Said So (started early 2011) which I haven't had time to share till now.

Next project is a quilt I started pre 2008 with a cushion panel for the centre,  then worked the design more in 2013.

The inner border was still undecided and now I'm planning on a piano key border but of course I will need to buy fabric for those. This one I'm designing myself as it evolves.

Today for a quick project I found the squares I had cut before Christmas to make a bowl cosy but run out of time.  Ta da ... 2 bowl Cozies.

For something different, a mystery parcel needed collecting from town and I couldn't remember ordering anything.

My blog book had arrived in record time.  This one spans 2016/2017 as my posts had dwindled in number ... It's always wonderful to look back over the year's starts, finishes and memories.

Time to make a cuppa and browse a quilt book I borrowed from the library.
