My UFO projects for the year may seem familiar. I didn't complete EVEN ONE from last year! SHAMEFUL I tell you.
Since I didn't complete even one project in my UFO piles last year, I have decided to add them all back in the lineup for this year. so for piecing projects please refer to this post.
For quilting UFO's please refer to this list, with the exception of the #10 BQ quilt. I finished that for my BIL for Christmas. He loved it! I will come up with another project when #10 comes up to play.
I'm sorry I am having you click to old posts but I am just too lazy to rewrite the whole thing. I am determined to get a lot more accomplished this year.

Tuesday sewing and new goals
I have decided that I will complete one UFO a month and I won't start a new project until 2 UFO's are done. (each time) That way I will get my UFO's completed and still be able to start new projects if I need want to. My UFO list will get smaller then (or at least that is the plan.)
Christmas is only 6 months away and I want to make a lot of my gifts this year so I better get busy.I need to get my Christmas plan in order. I'll be back to get some sort of plan together but now....now I am going to sew at my friend's house. Toodles!
I promise pictures for the next post! Pinky swear!

Mini Meeting- Jan 2009-Castle blocks quilt 1
Introducing .......The Minis:
From Left to right: Diana (me) and Nancy in front, then Margaret, Gail and Lou
Here is Linda (she took most of the other pictures) This isn't the best picture of her but the only one I had (bummer).
My small longarm group called the "minis" had a meeting yesterday. We take turns meeting at each others houses. This month it was Nancy's turn. She has a great studio in the whole lower level of her house. (Basement really) Three of the 8 women involved in our group have Intellequilters (IQ). I, of course, am not one of those people. Nancy generously offered for me to bring a quilt to do to the meeting. I picked one that has been a UFO for a very long time. I started this quilt in 1992 I believe. It was one of the very first quilts I ever pieced. I taught myself to piece from books and didn't know how important the 1/4 seam would be. There is lots of piecing in one direction of each block and I never checked to make sure they were square (see where this is headed?) When I laid it all out and started to put a row together, WTH? It doesn't fit! I THEN measured the block and found my blocks were almost all 7.5x 8". Well they wouldn't work so I threw them in a box. A box that I finally unearthed last summer. I took them with me on a trip I took and had time to kill and trimmed a 1/4" from each end and came home and put them together. So I decided I would bring this one to quilt. We used the "Come Dance With Me" Panto. Nancy was so great about explaining and really showing me how everything worked.
It was so fast and organized too. There were 6 of us there and they jumped right in to pin the backing on and get it loaded and wind bobbins etc. Here is Marg (pinning) and Gail
We talked and talked while the IQ quilted....
LOOK MA, NO HANDS!
Here is the finished quilt:
It was a great day! I love when we have our meetings. We always do something fun. Next meeting is at Linda's and we are all bringing blocks and going to make pot holders. Unfortunately it started snowing when I got to Nancy's house at 10am and was still snowing at 5pm when we left. Let's just say it was a white knuckle ride home. My Sebring has front wheel drive and it hardly slides around at all (surprisingly). Took almost 2 hrs to get home (a 1 hour drive usually). All in all it was a great day!
