UFO Update


UFO #1 has been keeping me warm during the past couple of weeks of extremely cold weather (for NC) with lots of "winter weather events" that created snow days for students.  Staff only missed two days; the rest were "teacher work days."


UFO #2 was made into a quilt sandwich and pinned and today I started the quilting.  I'm using gray thread and a large meander  because of all the straight lines in this quilt.




I had planned on finishing this project in February but hey!  I'll get finished in a week or two...  then on to the next project!


I wanted to share this video by Angela Walters with you...  it's a good one.


Enjoy!

    That was a wonderful video, thank you for sharing it. Glad that the hideous weather has been good for your UFO's if nothing else.

    I stumbled across this video last week and agree, it was something I really needed to hear. You're making great progress on your UFO. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

    I had been wondering if you would surface soon, Freda. Good to hear from you.
    Great finish on your quilt top. Good for you getting it quilted. I need to follow your example!
    And thanks for the video. Good, sound advice!!

    Good to see you again, Freda. You were missed! :o)

    I watched the video and have sent the link to my non-quilter daughter because I think the 3 things apply to others as well! Keep cosy! :o)
