LET THE UFO COUNTDOWN BEGIN!

EACH PIECE HAS BEEN NUMBERED....IT IS EASIER TO KEEP TRACK OF AND SHOWS A WORKING HISTORY.  THE QUILT TOPS WILL NOT FOLLOW ANY NUMBER ORDER...MORE LIKE WHAT IS THE EASIEST TO GET DONE.  SOME WILL BE HAND QUILTED AND THE OTHERS WILL BE MACHINE QUILTED.  I MAY ALSO TRY SOME ON MY OWN USING A REGULAR MACHINE.   We shall see!!  My hands and the small space at the machine plus a quilt is toooo small and really not that great for hands...I am thinking about lap size for starters.  The question is....WHICH ONE???  I will have two on going projects...the hand quilting ALMOST DONE PIECE and THE TOP that is missing boarders.  Pictures of before and after will follow...

2017 AND MOVING FORWARD...

It has been a while for posting and will be catching up...we had a parent chapter that became a 24/7 thing for 5.8 years.....we have moved....my studio is 2/3rds gone...boxes and bins waist high and still working on getting things in order with the studio and house.   I think it will take about a year to DOWN SIZE the entire contents of our house and STUDIO.  This was a winter move and took us 3months...we had our parent's house to hoe out and then OUR stuff...just plain ran out of good weather months to work with....LOL SO MOVING FORWARD...KEEP ON STITCHING!!!
