2011 ufo wrap up
1. Hawaiian quilt- This quilt I have been working on FOREVER. I am very frustrated with it. On the other hand it is potentially nearly done because it has the binding nearly on. I still feel like it needs to be quilted more. Updated December 2011: Although this is technically a finished piece, I don’t …
Corn Water and Wood-ufo January wrap up
Singing we seek the soul, of all that is good We come bearing corn, water and wood Stop and behold, all that is good Give thanks for the corn, water and wood -Corn, Water and Wood by Michael Martin Murphey I finally named the corduroy quilt. After much thought, I realized that this song really reminded me of …
January ufo finished!
I managed to finish it with just one day to spare! I am actually quite pleased with it. The colors turned out great. I added the red ties because I thought it would be difficult to quilt. It turned out not to be, but I love the effect. It has a really homemade old-fashioned look. …
January Friday night sew-in update
I had a great night sewing! I finished my book on cd so I will have to order another from the library. I worked on three ufos and made a little progress on all of them. First, I worked on the red and green corduroy quilt. I put the black frame on. I was about to …
January Friday night sew-in
I’m going to give this one a try. Tomorrow is a Friday night sew-in with Handmade by Heidi. I hope to get some work done on my ufo tomorrow anyway. It is so bitter cold here that sewing a warm quilt seems like the only appropriate response to the weather. I will be listening to my current …

I’m slowly making progress. This picture is from last week when I had all of the squares done. I doubt I will be done by the end of this month, but it is much farther along, and I have a clear intention for finishing it. I picked up some lavender, black and red flannel. I didn’t …
ufo update
The first number that Judy over at Patchwork Times drew is 6. This is for me the black, green, and red corduroy quilt. I have been working on this quilt at least since 1997. I know this because I turned the top in for a surface design class I was taking at the University of …
2011 ufo challenge
I found this 2010 UFO Challenge by Patchwork Times. I love the idea of tying up loose strings, but I have a lot of anxiety. Will I finish all these projects? Will I finish any of these projects? Some of these projects are not quilts, so I hope that Patchwork Times doesn’t mind my stretching …
first picture of black and red quilt
These are blocks I began in college in 1997 or so. I did bleach resist using wooden shapes clamped around fabric. I have added black corduroy in different wales. I am now stuck, just for no reason. I made some new curtains for my bedroom that are from two recycled garments that I hand …
walking foot
S bought me a beautiful walking foot for the Bernina. It works great. I made a lovely PERFECT sample. I wish I had a top finished so I could quilt a huge grid. I have some of Eliott’s quilt pieced. Slow going, mostly due to laziness. Paul is going to have the black, …
