UFO Challenge

The majority of men are bundles of beginnings.

Judy L. at Patchworktimes.com is having a UFO Challenge again this year so I decided to join in and see if it will help me actually finish some of my quilts.  She has a wonderful blog that I read almost everyday and she has a great sense of humor too.

So here is my list of 12 quilts I'd like to get completed this year.  Some are ready for quilting and some are just blocks.  I'll try to add photos soon.

1. Sunflower Blooming 9 Patch - The top is together, it may need a border or two.
2. Margaret's Irish Chain - Needs a few more blocks and borders
3. Sports Quilt - Ready for the Longarm
4. Floral Log Cabin - Needs borders
5. Fall Leaf Flannel 4 Patch - Ready for the Longarm   FINISHED!!! May 2012
6. Blue Skies Tribble Trouble - Ready for the Longarm
7. Hunter's Star - Needs border
8. Batik Circles - Needs borders

The future comes one day at a time.

Well we are off and running in 2012. Life continues on at a rapidly increasing pace for me.  My to do list still is growing faster than it gets crossed out so I hope by making a visual record of things here I will be able to stay on task better.  I spend time reading other blogs so maybe someone will find the time to read mine. Hopefully I will be able to find a few things to say on a regular basis that will be interesting and helpful to some of you out there.

I will start by introducing myself, I am a quilter, a mother of four adult children, grandmother of twins and wife of nearly 40 years to a great man.  I love to read, sew, quilt and be creative.

Here's to a great New Year and Many New and Great Friends yet to be made!
