(#2 - the NUMBER of PhDs you are committing to...)
My sign up comment read:
"Please sign me up! My last blog entry was a list of 12 projects - some old as dirt and a few practically half done!"I had just signed up for the Patchwork Times UFO Challenge and failed to note this PhD mission is set for 6 months until I saw the (only) 12 PhD's was after my name. I have at least a 6 half done quilted Fabric Postcards that will hopefully count and keep me from being a big fat liar on this Blog-roll list :)
6 quilts on my to-do list:
Patchwork Times Challenge entry #6 has been pulled from the bottom of my Treasure Box. A Stack & Whack in need of borders and quilting.
It's orangeness pushed it to the bottom of the box for years. (Plus, I took up knitting socks and learned to crochet, forsaking my sewing machine for needles & hooks.)
String Blocks intended for the RRCB Mystery were
turned into an Evelyn Sloppy pattern. The step requiring 600 half square triangles had me running for the 9-patch sash. Turns out my scant 1/4" seam is out of practice, erasing SIMPLE from the description of the 9-Patch. It's come a long way in a week, though!Row Robin from Patchwork Posse is on track. I started it the day after Thanksgiving and there are still 2 rounds to be released.
My husband decided he should paint the Laundry/Sewing room that day. My Sewing Room makeover is nearly complete!
It's a room I want to go into again :)
I've even vacuumed up the dog ears & thread clippings twice in the same day.
McCall's magazine 6 series Grandma's Country Album I. (1998!) I've finished 2 more blocks since digging it out in December.
1999 Y2K Quilt. 3" squares turned into a giant log cabin. Finally finished putting the top together in 2008. Have decided to hand quilt it, as cost for machine quilting is too much to justify. NEED HELP figuring out where to quilt it. Would welcome input!!!
Piecemakers Time & Seasons calendar 2002 TREES.
3 blocks are mostly done and am thinking a 4 block wall hanging.
(no picture yet)
Things may get shuffled depending on the number drawn next month.
(see above ;) Just need to get off the computer and sew more?

LOL that's too funny. I probably would have done the same thing except I was a part of the PhD last year and knew of the six month time line.
However, I did also sign up for Judy's UFO challenge which goes 12 months and in signing up, stated I had the first 7 set through this challenge and the remaining 5 will be identified come July. It's the only way I know I won't feel overwhelmed.
I too am participating in both challenges. It is kind of fun getting the # every month to know what to work on -- otherwise I would be overwhelmed with just choosing.
I too just need to GET OFF THE COMPUTER.
Can't wait to see your projects finish! They're beautiful!
wow...love the grandma's country album I also had the magazine but was missing a few so I ordered the whole pattern...1999, havent' made this yet but still maybe one day...I'm looking forward in seeing yours done....
