2012 UFO challenge

This will be my 2nd year of joining Judy's UFO challenge.
While I will be listing 12 projects and see whichever one gets chosen, I may need to adjust my monthly project by season. Seems to be more difficult for me to do summer projects, so we'll see how it goes. But I will try to get more than 5 UFO's done, so I can beat my 2011 finished UFO!

1. Orca Bay mystery - while it is still ongoing, I will have to work on almost all steps; hope to get it done as a quilt top by the end of 2012!

2. Jelly Roll Race quilt: is promised to be given to a friend, latest for her birthday in May; it needs quilting and binding

3. Lenora's quilt: I gave a her pictures of several quilt tops and am waiting for her to pick one!

???

4. Friendship strips: we had a strip exchange going last year and I really would like to finish it into a top

5. Mod Blossom: needs quilting

6. Houndstooth top: needs quilting

7. Modern Cross; add borders, quilt

8. Farmer's wife: make 10 more blocks (or it would be an overwhelming task...)

9. Binding for Cathedral Stars quilt

10. Binding for Jelly Roll quilt along quilt

11. Tropical Twist: needs borders - hope to find a for me do-able solution

12. Flying geese: finish top (and quilt)

That's my list - please check all the other participants listed on Judy's blog -

and maybe you will join yourself!

It sure helps to get things moving along!

Happy UFO sewing in 2012!

Sunday Project Review

My poor neglected blog - 

it's been a long while since I last posted,

but life kind of got in the way.

So here is a summary of my current projects:

 Cowboy Wave is quilted and

 just needs a binding to be ready for donation!

 My jelly Roll top was in hiding for quite some time,

but I finally came across the perfect border fabric!

I added a small dk blue border and then a wider diagonal dotted one -

it seems to capture almost all of the colors in the top and I love it!

It is a future donation top, once it gets quilted & bound.

Here is a pair of socks - almost finished.

I just need to find the kitchener stitch instruction 

to close the toes.

(Patons Kroy Sock yarn " Mulberry Stripes")

I really like the Modern Quilts out of the book

"Quilts Made Modern"

and had to try one.

My color choice is not as perfect,

but I like my Modern Cross quilt.

It still needs to get a beige outer border

before it is ready for quilting.

And yet another sock

 started during my recent Mexico travels.

Colorful, but I love funky socks!

(Patons Kroy yarn "Sailor Stripes)

That's most of the stuff I have done lately,

as far as I remember...

And if all else fails -

 at least I have broken my blogging silence!
