UFO for August

I have several UFO's in my sewing room and I got to work on a couple of them this month.  I started this one last November, but then I decided that I needed to change the floor in my sewing room and for several months everything else got put on hold.  I have worked a several others in the meantime and finally got back to this one this month.

The fabric is Moda Blitzen by Basic Grey. I bought this fabric last year in Bend when I visited a fabric store after The Sisters Quilt Show.  I really like this Christmas fabric.  I actually finished this a couple of weeks ago but kept forgetting to ask someone to hold it up so I could take a picture.  I still need to get a back made for it but I have the fabric already.

The next project that I plan on completing this month is partially sewn and some is on the design wall.

It you look close you will see that this is also made out of the Blitzen fabric.  I had a jelly roll that I used to make these blocks I have completed 10 block and have 10 more to make.  I have more of the blitzen for the sashing and borders.

This is actually the third quilt made out of this fabric.  I made a buzz saw quilt out of a layer cake.  It is with my daughter to be quilted.    I must remember to take a photo to post of it.

I still have a charm pack of this fabric and a bunch of scraps so looks like I will be making at least one more project with the Blitzen.

I have a goal to finish 13 UFO's this year but I have not progressed very far with them.  I was attempting to remember what else I had completed this year and I finally remembered that I put together a quilt top from 2004 but I did not take a picture of it before I took it to my daughter.
I have also gotten binding on about 4 quilts this year.  Andrea had wanted to slow down my sewing so she have quilted a bunch of my quilts in January.  Although I think she still has a bunch of my quilts to do.
I also completed a log cabin quilt that I had started last year.  It also needs a picture taken, but at least it is already quilted....I will need someone to hold it up.  The binding is sewn on one side but not sewn down on the back. - found a picture of the quilting.  This was taken while it was still on the machine.  It turned out beautiful.

I have finished a gift for a friend in June.  I did a patriotic table runner for her.   I had trouble getting a good picture.  It was still pretty rainy here in June so the light was not good.

I gave this to her for her birthday which is July 3rd.

My daughter also asked me this spring to make a wall hanging for her quilting room.

Cruel me  - told her she had to quilt it herself.  This was made with a mini charm pack.

But what has kept me super busy is trying to get my embroidery blocks done for a Hoop Sisters Feathered Star.  I am not anywhere near getting it done.
I have also been working on a block of the month.  I picked up the last block patterns last week and just need to get the two blocks sewn.  Next month we get the completion instructions.  I have some of the sashing already together but also need to finish that.  Good grief.  I need to get busy.
