Finished UFO #2 today...........it was started in 1994! It is a classic "what in the world was I thinking" quilt............one that you would never dream of making today and shows your growth in quilting. I won the blocks (which were all different sizes) in a guild block exchange back in '94, bought the setting fabric at Walmart, used a 100% cotton batting and started trying to handquilt it.......end of story until this month. When going through my UFOs I rediscovered it, deemed it a perfect medium to on which to practice free motion machine quilting, and set to work. It will be a donation quilt for the local battered women's shelter, which is our guild's outreach. And I learned allot while working on it.
As you can see from the photos, I had plenty of help on this baby!
Since you have met our schnauzers, I thought it was time for Poppy to make her entrance into the blog, too. Poppy, our rescue dog, is 1/2 schihtzu, 1/2 lab........quite a strange mix. But, what a sweet girl she is, and a quilt-loving, lazy bones, too.
Back to stitching now..........don't want to lose my momentum.

WOW! Jennie, I am so impressed with your blog! You sure do accomplish a lot in life. I don't see how you get so much done with working full time and especially lately with your mom being so ill.
AND.... I can't believe you have already finished 3 UFO's and it's still January!
I have read everything and looked at all the photos. So impressed! And you are reading two books too!
I don't know why you don't think you're organized!!??
Love, your friend, Kathie
