Day 7 – Show and Tell UFOs

I thought I’d have a “Show and Tell” once a week where I show you which UFOs I have been working on. Week 1 and I haven’t worked on any yet, just sorted and tried to organize everything. As I mentioned, I sent some UFOs along with DH to Arabia to work on, one of which is this one called Snake Trails:
Alice was teaching me this waaaay back when she lived in Perth and we went to visit. It really doesn’t need much to finish, so I thought it would be a good one to do when I get there.
Another one I popped in DH’s suitcase was this one:
… which I might as well call a mystery quilt because I have no idea what I was making with it. There are 10″ squares with triangles on one corner, and some other half square triangles in there as well…. Ha! If anyone can tell me what I was thinking, please do. Otherwise, I will look at it next year in Arabia and turn it into something!
I took Alice’s Birthday Quilt to Dubai as well, but DH’s suitcase got too heavy so I brought it back to Oz:
It is called “Alice’s Birthday Quilt”, not because it is for her, but it is a quilt we started on her birthday way back in…. um…. er…. 2007….! She was living in Oz back then, and came around for the weekend for us to sew:
Alice on the left, me on the right. Alice’s quilt has purple in it of course, and I seem to be helping her cut squares…. We sewed all weekend and when she had to leave we solemnly vowed that we would finish the quilts… and we will soon, right Alice?! Of course I seem to have lost the pattern so I hope she still has it somewhere 🙂
This UFO will go in my suitcase when I head back to Arabia because I really want to get it done.
So those are the ones that I will be working on when I head back overseas, and here is a tub that I want to start working on here before I leave:
Not sure how many I will get done, but I will make a start at least! Tonight is FNWF so I will head out to my studio in a little while and pick something to get started. I’ll see some of you there I ‘m sure…
Pretty fabrics! Enjoy your crafting ♥
I really do not have many UFO’s but a lot of I Want To Makes!
look at you two babes! Yes sweet Alice has to have purple!
Hope you make a big dent in your long UFO list !!
Here is wishing your Dad is better soon!
Hugs!
Hi! Waving from FNWF across the globe. I have several small projects ready to quilt, and nothing to piece right now, so I’m pulling out a ‘new’ UFO tomorrow. Keep the momentum going……
Yes, we will finish the birthday quilt and all of the others soon!!! I need to pull that one out–I haven’t even counted that one yet. I am much better at flying geese now too!!! Sad how many UFO’s I have from way back when. I remember I finished the heart on Garion’s birthday 2005. My first quilt and my first finish. Now I need to finish the stained glass since it was the second one I started. So much sewing–never enough time!!!
so lovely to see a picture of you and Alice …. I like to put a face to names…. and I had no idea that Alice used to live over here in Aus…
