april ufo finish
Finally, a UFO finish in 2012! A long time ago, my mom had made my family some wonderful personalized stockings. However, this was so long ago, that it was before Paul was born. I loved those stockings but I could never find an exact match of the fabric she had used so Paul could have …
flowers
I love the tulips this time of year. Ours just opened and Steve took this wonderful picture. I’m still marching forward on my April ufo. I got all my gold buttons out to choose one for each stocking to connect the monogram. I feel more and more confident that this is my lucky month to finish!
slowly slowly the ant crawls over the quilt

Easter vigil

Finally, a ufo I can finish! I have had these stockings for a few years with the intention of personalizing them fo each of us. So I put them on my ufo list. I already have several ideas.
March ufo wrap up and a surprise
So, another month goes by without a successful finish. However, I did finish this green border that goes all the way around the piece. Next year I will set a more reasonable goal, like only finishing all the pink or something. Anyway, right before my birthday I received this lovely surprise. A lovely package of …
