UFO's FOUND!! Not the ET kind :)

Before the fabric diet the organization was very deceiving....yes deceiving. Everything that I had, I had just thrown in bins to make room for more fabric not following the rules. "For every ONE new thing that comes in, take TWO out." I just stacked and put them away eventually forgetting what I had in what tote/bin/drawer. Back then I was able to handle 3 or 4 different projects at the same time, I can't do that so much now, but my works in progress from a year ago that I stashed promising to go back to when I had the time, only to be forgotten has now been found!

I forgot about these lap quilts. I will eventually go back and finish these, but it just brought a smile to face when I saw my quilt tops that I was so determined to do by hand. So I thought I would share them with you. There are some that I hand pieced and started to hand embroider, there is another quilt that I was quilting along as I go and quilt tops w/ teeny tiny 1" squares. Here is what I found so far.....I know I have more of these laying around somewhere. I may finish these and add these to my charity quilts!






So that's it, I'm not quite finished re-organizing and de-stashing, but it is great to find forgotten pieces of work, now I'll definitely find more things to do during this pregnancy

Finding an old project is like greeting an old friend - you want to spend time with them

Those are amazing...as is all your work!

If I've said it once, I 'll say again...WISH I LIVED CLOSER TO YOU! I could learn a lot more than I know...which isn't much!

Abbie,
I have sent you a couple emails but I don't think you are getting them. Kym hasn't received a bag. I emailed her on Friday and she replied with a no. Please let me know what you find out!
