UFO Week

tooth fairy dayThis week is UFO week on Pattern Pastiche – an online quilt group associated with TQPM (quiltpatternmagazine.com). This is the second year in a row that I have joined this activity…no discernible effect on my UFO pile last time and not much so far this time….I did get my challenge quilt top done, and I got it sandwiched with batting and then…nothing. It is due next month for the guild meeting and so I need to get started quilting it – ASAP! Since it is a secret – this is all I can show you – the fabric they gave us. I love how it turned out so far…since you can’t see it…take my word for it – really awesome!

Meanwhile, I have got some fun rust dyed fabric that the art bee made to share with you. DSC03052We were out in the rain making this so we suffered for our art! This month the art bee is going on a field trip where there will be a lot less suffering (and snacks) but I am pretty sure the results will also be really awesome!

I wore my rust dyed shirt to the guild meeting last month and so I got to be my own show n’ tell too!

So, the question for this weekend? Do I spend time out in the garden, sit on the porch with my awesome husband, do some weeding, maybe soak in my new soaking tub #2 (we added one so dsc03078.jpgDave and I could both have a soaking tub), or do I work on some of those UFOs? Summer is short and this year it seems like it is even shorter. The daylilies are blooming, the weeds are thriving, but the quilt show entries are due and it’s a really bad idea to enter quilts that are not finished…so far batting zero – 4 for 4 not finished (one not even started)…I was going to work on one of them tonight but I sat down and poof the evening was gone…is it only me? Maybe if I sprayed round up on my UFOs that pile would stop growing….
