OMG for the New Year

-
Another year, and I've haven't done that badly last year.  Looks like I've done at least one quilt a month, even though I never made some of my goals, I was usually side tracked with a different quilt.

This year I've made myself some promises, one of which is to get the number of quilts that I have as UFO's down.  I keep on wanting to have or make a new quilt from a great pattern I've seen, or I get a new book, and I go crazy about it, so I'm definitely want to get some of these quilts down.  My sewing room is starting to be over crowded.

As for family, I have three more quilts to go and I've made a quilt for every aunt and uncle, and every 1st cousin.  So I'm very happy to have this done.  All have a memento of what I can do artisitcally wise.  So this month's quilt UFO is to finish the quilt that I started with my guild, the one that I made into a BOM for three months.  I want to show the quilt to my guild this month as well as I need to have it completed for February when I go out to Carmen Manitoba, and give it to my cousin.  Oh, I have two others that I'll be making at the same time, but this one is to go to my aunt who does so much for my mother, this is my way of thanking her for being such a good friend to my mom.  

Here's a picture of the quilt that needs to be quilted completely, and I am linking up to Elm Street Quilts.  Wish me luck.

      Thank you Anita and thank you for visiting. I always seem to want to do so much, but as long as I get 10 off my to do list, I'm happy. This one is so darling, and it's going to my Aunt to warm up in Manitoba Canada where it's -35 today.

One I missed and another done

 I’ve been cleaning my sewing office and I have been noticing how any UFOs I have but that’s ok because I’m retiring soon and all of the projects will keep me busy.  The kits are all together except for batting and backing.  So it’s a win win.  But I’m getting an overflow, too much stuff around to the point  that it's overwhelming me.  Like everyone else in the quilting world I can’t resist a new BOM or a bargain so I keep on starting new ones but I’m resisting ladies (hello my name is Nicole and I’m a fabricaholic.).  This past month I’ve been finishing off a lot of quilts (see last couple of blogs) but today I’m showing you one I did this month and another BOM from this year so it doesn’t become a ufo.  Here she be….

This pattern is free at Riley Blake Design, on this link.     The squares are 10 and a half in size.  Their pattern did not include the blue line I put in, a 1 1/2 inch fold.  Stitched between the blocks, a 2” piece and the side borders.  It made th

 And I’ve been able to get some painting and sewing in.  I have completed some baby quilts, made some gifts and cleaned my room after my bookcase collapsed.  Yeah you heard right, my IKEA bookcase (with drawers) stretched out and the shelves came tumbling down.  Too many sewing/painting/quilting books and paints in it.  Out with that old and in with a used steamer trunk that I redid.  Final product are the 1st couple of pictures.  Even used wood glue for cracks. Redid with restick wall paper that is waterproof.   All my supplies The crack that I wood glued. The start that took about 2hours. The finish product that has projects in containers, and fabric for sewing clothes.  It worked well. Then I had some things that are just in a tray that I needed to fix.  So I completed these projects that were small and almost done. The container  Pillow case embroidery  Mug rug, hand stitched.  Tea dyed. Look at the stitching or rather quilting. A dress that needed a hem and to fix neckline A very

 With a few UFOs done.  They are Cat Approved. Both of these have gone to the hospital's children's ward. Yes they are identical.  The material was given to me two years ago, with the blocks already done. I just finished it off and binded it. This one is a Joanne's Kit from 5 years ago, before Covid.  The kit contained all the material and the pattern, but some of the material had been changed and that's why the discount.  The kit was $20.  For all the top material.  What a steal!!! Simple quilting in the ditch and some echoing. My husband loves the colors.  Perfect for a guy.  I was going to give this away but the hubby said no, it's perfect for our house, so it's staying. I also did one more quilt for a friend that I gave away last week so now I can put it up here.  It's part of the American Quilt UFO challenge.  I found some of the trees premade and in a box while trying to clean my quilting room. Made a couple more, and started the art drawing. A good si
