I am participating in a UFO (Unfinished Objects) challenge with my quilt guild and I'm doing much better this year at organising myself!
So far I've completed a Fabric Tree for our local Festival of Trees fundraiser for the Lung Association. This was completed in September and fine-tuned to be donated in November. It stood 4 feet high and all the ornaments were hand made by friends and myself. The final bid was $150 Canadian.
December was a Christmas table topper that I made with 2.5" diamonds all by hand. I'd always wanted to do a project completely by hand, and had started this last year in April. So it is hand stitched together, hand quilted and a rolled hand stitched binding. Finished size is 14.5" diameter. It is not very big, but it took a lot of time! Major respect for those that did and still do their quilting all by hand with no machines!
I am running away in February so I completed my February project early. A 16x21" Valentine wall hanging. This was a class that was offered a year ago at our guild, but a death in the family forced the class to be cancelled. In that year I have learned quite a few techniques, so decided to tackle it. It is raw edge machine applique and the snoopy heart is trapunto, where you put extra stuffing behind it to make it puff out. This is also my second project that I have free motion quilted it on my machine.
Hoping your 2019 is off to a good start!
Hugs!
Cindy
