I'm a little late but it is a new month, which means it's a new UFO Challenge. And according to my list, my challenges are: My first reaction was I am so so screwed.  I am so far behind.  But instead of concentrating on the bad, I am going to concentrate on the positive.  First of all let's take a look at what is finished.  On the quilting side of things I have three out of seven UFOs finished.  That really isn't too bad, especially considering that after next week's Sewing Retreat, I should have two more UFOs finished.  That means I will have five out of seven UFOs finished!  Which means I will have two t-shirt quilts to finish in July!! That makes me feel much better!! Now let's look at the knitting side of things.  I have two out of seven UFOs finished with one in constant progress and that is the Knitted Knockers.  That leaves four projects.  When I looked at  the June knitted sock ornaments, I realized t...

For awhile there I was doing really well and then...

And boy has she been fun!  The BSR foot is everything that they say it is. Quilting was so much easier, I just had to remember to slow it down a little. And the bigger throat plate is just wonderf...

I can't believe it's been 3 weeks since my last post!!  I have been busy making baby quilts.  Daughter #1 has some friends that are having babies and she asked that I make a few for her.  The first one is another version of my farm animal quilt: I think this is my most favorite version so far, mainly because of the fabric that I found for the back: I've been thinking that a nice addition to my baby quilts would be a zoo themed one.  And since Daughter #1 has a good friend that is using zoo animals as her theme for her baby room, it was perfect timing.   So I started out with these drawings back in August: And it became this: And using the same striping idea: How fun is that?   I plan to add this one to my Etsy Store as well.  It turned out so much better than I had dreamed.
