Land of the UFO's

Hello from a rangers fan!!
Wanted to let you know about Pat Sloan's UFO busting tips she has out on her blog right now.
I am doing the process.. step one was easy, making a list (although a bit shameful for me!) of all your UFO's.
I will not tell you exactly how many UFO's I have but it is over 25 and less than 50 so I definitely need some help.
Here is the link if you would like to check it out.

I have actually passed one project I had "outgrown" to my daughter and she is loving it where I had no desire to finish this quilt!
So one down many more to go.. I am putting binding on a quilt for a christmas present right now and hope to have it finished this weekend. Then I have another one quilted that just needs binding so 2 simple things and 2 UFO's off my list!!
I also ordered some backing fabric so I can get 2 more tops off to the quilter to hopefully (keep my fingers crossed) get them done for christmas. Four to give away would be a record for me!
Back to the game!!

Quilt retreat fall 2010

Well the last day of quilt retreat is here. Too much fun sewing with my friends for the last three days!! I have finished two quilt tops and have started finished a third. It has been a lot of fun and can't wait for the next one in feb. I got the quilt I designed finished it is so exciting to me to have an original design actually work.

Ready to go on 3 day quilt retreat

I have been very busy getting ready to go on quilt retreat next weekend.
Three days of peace and quiet (except for the hum of sewing machines)!
I have four projects I am taking but mostly I want to get the top finished of the quilt i have designed.
I also have the civil war quilt for my daughter ready to put together, cut 392 1 1/2 in squares today ...
that is a LOT!!
I am also planning to go to quilt festival in Houston this year, missed it the last couple of years but am not
going to miss it this year.
Will post pics from retreat next weekend...

My sewing buddies

Sometimes I wonder how I get any sewing done with all the "help" around me! The cat is bobcat and he often sits on the back of my chair as I sew to get closer to the birds! He is such a rascal.

Color palate for quilt

Hello I finished buying fabric today for the quilt I designed! ( see previous post). I cant wait to get started on this one. It was so hard to work the rest of the day with this beautiful fabric saying come play!!!
Unfortunately I have a teleconference tonight so cutting may have to wait till tomorrow. Will post a pic when I get the first block finished.
Happy sewing
