JudyL picked #8 for June's UFO Arouse. i was anxious....it was a quilt that was in pieces in a bag. i had pieced the 4 patches but that is all. portray was distant to do. i deliberate switching it for contemporary one..... but, NO....that would honestly put off the disturb. so i dug in and pieced and pieced precise bonus. and quilted. and existing is the turf out.It's a 4 base posey via black and pinks. i don't peer it as distant as i did because i started it. i calculate approximately that is why they thread up being UFOs. LOLBut i ashore via it and got it obsolete.I be attracted to it looks better in exclusive than in the photos. i couldn't strait to get a presently huge picture.But lost is huge. the vertebrae is pieced via precise odd, red and black that i had. quilted via the Baptist Fan templates from Quiltazoid. and i got to use up precise odd filament...lighter odd on the top and brighter odd on the source. what was i beliefs..retail odd filament. I particular no diagram what that fair dot is. i used the flash on my camera....so i be attracted to it has everything to do via that. conceivably its gremlins....who knows. and, no, it is not a fair come into flower head pin. LOLI am fairly vain of in my opinion for sticking via the brainteaser and feat bits and pieces lost. shared the court is over....so it is all timetabled from existing. most of the rest of my UFOs are sooner than pieced....so it strength honestly be a number of quilting them. i option Judy does this over next court.....i particular boxes bonus of UFOs to do...but they are very first abide...pieces honestly cut.....or conceivably honestly drapes and copy in a box. distant bonus work to do. So, i am solidify for July. it strength be a eager month, too. i strength be out of town about a week....and after that portray is the dreaded mowing and place in the ground work. but, one way or another, it all gets lost.Are you in the UFO brainteaser......is your June project finished? if not.....you better hold out up having forty winks and get via it.

Live from Area 51, Judy selected #10 for this month's UFO. I am excited about this pick too, as it is my oldest UFO. I bought this Bear's Paw pillow kit by Lasting Piece at The Cotton Ball in Morro Bay, probably when my Australian friend *Sue was here and we were on our California adventure in January 2001.I did not know a lot about quilting then and had no idea what I was getting into with such small pieces! I did fine until it came to the quilting part, where I came to a dead stop. I plan to hand quilt this per the instructions. They used a cable in the outer border and included a template (that blue thing) and simple stitch in the ditch for the bear's paws. I'll have to get a better photo as the colors are not showing up as richly as they truly are. Marking needs to take place before any needlework, so that is a task maybe for tonight when Grant is holding band practice here.January's UFO selection officially was identified as a finished quilt on January 30th, one day before the deadline. Happy dance time (actually, it was more like turn out the light and rest my tired eyes time)! This was an experiment in color and print to see if I could make a quilt that would be neutral, that is, neither feminine nor masculine. Those I've shown it to seem to agree that it is neutral, so I am pleased.Oops, this picture is posted sideways! The stripe goes horizontal on the back. See more pics on my UFO page here. This was a pattern called Comfort Zone, from Quilts and More Summer 2006 magazine. I like the name and will keep it. I just found a note in the magazine indicating I was going to finish this for a different UFO challenge in 2008, oh my. So it is older than I remembered, but that's not going on the label! *Keeping Susie and her family in Northern Queensland close in my thoughts as they are getting hit by Category 5 Cyclone Yasi right now. It crossed the coast between Cairns and Innisfail and they have evacuated from their house and taken their boat from the Port Douglas Marina up the inlet! Scary, scary and much damage to come. Those who pray, please send prayers for Queensland!
