    Default August UFOs flying off the shelf!

    As tomorrow is 1st September and the first day of Spring in Australia I decided it was a good time to begin my 'Spring Cleaning' and actually deal with some UFOs. I started to make a 'to do' list and was surprised how much stuff there was (considering I only started quilting 6 months ago.)

    I have actually finished 9 projects up to now. Here's where I'm up to.... 5 down and 6 to go!

    1. Sophie's Quilt - finished, wrapped and given to her for her birthday on Tuesday
    2. Emilies quilt - top quilted, ready to trim and bind
    3. Bailey's bedding - finished and given to Paul (SIL) for his birthday as it's his dog
    4. 6 Christmas mats - pin basted, 2 quilted and working on the rest at the moment......
    5. Red Flower table runner - finished and on display until I decide who to give it to
    6. 2 purple and blue runners with pink applique flowers - tops done
    7. Autumn leaf table cloth - top done and ready to pin-baste next
    8. lounge throw - on the floor ready to pin baste and quilt
    9. gum-nut throw - top done (back on shelf)
    10.Dragonfly throw - top done (back on the shelf)
    11.Chateau Rouge Quilt - waiting for yardage then plan to send it away to be quilted as it is rather large!

    Planning to get done by Christmas

    12. Batik quilt (for my son?) got the black for sashing so will make a start soon
    13. Retro Breeze - a framed hourglass block design (Like my Chateau Rouge one) for my daughter in shades of blue/green/brown
    14. Sentiments quilt - Christmas design but not happy with the fabrics - Daily Deal impulse buy - double slice layer cake
    15. Dylan Jelly Roll - friendship braid design (another Daily Deal)
    16. Quilters Bag - going on a workshop to make this so should get it finished on the day
    17. Citrus bright Jelly Roll daily deal - not sure what to do with it yet
    18. Music quilt - fabric due any day now (black and white with touches of red)using Jenny's Layer Cake + Jelly Roll pattern

    Scary when you write it all down and see what there is to do!!

    Wow, Jane! You have been one busy little lady! What great gifts you have lined up. It's a good feeling to be so far ahead of the game, isn't it.

    Jean is going to have to give up her name, you da" woman.

    Did you get that beautiful Christmas layer cake that has all the gold on it? I did and thought it was beautiful. Not sure what I am going to do with it but love the fabrics and I have a few that will blend with it well, definitely going to get done before Christmas, maybe a double slice???

    Very impressive. I do find that I add more things to my list than I remove . . . Great going!!
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??
