Catching up on UFOs

The upside of having a few UFOs knocking around my sewing room is that during that weird period after finishing one piece and before beginning a new project, there is satisfying work to keep me busy:
Baby Zig will go to Greta, sister of Helena the Great and Emergency Elisa.


HST Neptune was a fun little project and I love the quilting on it. Just ignore the white wine spills .... I only need to finish the corners and tie up loose ends on both of those. And then there is an owly UFO awaiting sandwiching and basting ... it's already taped to my sewing room floor.

Happy New Year

Christmas has come and gone - and despite the best of intentions, there was minimal crafting to be had this time around. I think I will just have to start earlier in the year ...

2012 has been kicked off with work on UFOs, I finished one top and failed at stippling, thankfully, straight-line quilting is so much more NOW:

Another WIP is almost quilted. I had originally chosen too thick a wadding and now had to sandwich etc. the whole thing again. But with the straight-line quilting almost finished, I am quite pleased with the results:
