Let’s Have a UFO Quilt Party!
My foster mother is here in Texas to spend a couple of months with us – Iowa is a bit cold right now. LOL
We were talking about quilt-related projects for her to do. I helped the quilting bug invade her psyche a couple of years ago and she’s definitely hooked!
First, I gave her a verbal list of what blocks I’d started on and needed to finish. Then, I gave her a list of quilts she could help me do with quilts that are completed except for their binding.
She also loves to hand-quilt, so I gave her a couple of (really late) prayer shawls to hand-quilt.
On top of that, I gave her a precut quilt for a charity and told her to have at it – the fabric is pre-cut and all she has to do is to follow the directions to put the baby quilt together.
I am nearly ashamed to admit that I have way more UFOs than I thought I did!!! Here’s hoping she has fun wintering with us and helping me catch up on my quilting projects!!! OH, and we hope she has a chance to have a little fun with us along the way!
Sounds to me like she will have lots of fun working on quilts. How lovely that you can enjoy the same activities.
I recently made a list of my UFOs for a guild challenge for the year. Yikes! Way more than I thought too. And I’ve not made much progress so far in January on reducing that number either. I need a good old-fashioned blizzard to keep me home from work and give me some time to sew.
