oldest ufo finished

-

Hooray!!!!!!!!!
Ive finally finished my oldest ufo - yes I dont really have ufo's (or so my Mum says or thinks)but this one was one I started in 2005 when I was teaching in Barham as a class "sample" on folded blocks. I had made up all the quilt, bound etc but still hadnt folded over and handstitched down all the sides of the blocks to get the curved feel - hope you understand what I mean.
Anyways its finally ALL DONE

ooh very well done - and noice - my oldest ufo was pieced in about 1983 or 84 but will never be quilted. It's a hand pieced queen sized sampler and got dragged to classes for 20+ years so I guess it doesn't owe me anything :]
btw the Smoothie will be fine for Mia [ just not for the newborn usage I was intending ] ... I'll be interested to see if it drives you nuts too ... it probably will if you're a fast knitter but if you're a little slower maybe not. One can hope!

That's a great quilt, the really narrow sashing works so well to show off the blocks, but yet let them run into each other to complete the pattern.

I wish my oldest UFO were only three!It's over 25! Most of my UFO's just need quilting & I have a LA, isn't that sad?
Congrats, I'll be whooping it up when I get my senior citizen UFo don done!

My Mum Mum was a quiet achiever, going through life with all its ups and downs with little complaining and always enjoyed the escape of a good book. My Mum was lovely – she cared so much about her family and so loved to hear about all our goings on Although in later life she had health issues – she faced them all bravely and worked to find out the best way to live her best life and bore them with dignity. Her life was one of change and she changed and adapted with the changes. Pamela Blanche Geoghegan was born in Bendigo on the 30th December 1938 (yes she just missed her birthday this year) to loving parents Stanley Norman Geoghegan and Emily Ada Blanche Pattinson. The year previously her brother Brian Stanley was born but he died shortly after birth. When she was only 6 years old her father Stan passed away at the age of 30 and for the next 13 years it was just Pam and her mother Blanche living together and they got on famously as Mum would say. The first change in her life. N...

Ive had a very special finish and its a quilt that I love, I wish I didnt have to make but Im so glad that I have When mum went to heaven, the online quilting group that I am a member of - Southern Cross Quilters had the members make me heart blocks in rememberance of my dear mum. I asked for rainbow colours for the hearts as one of mums favorite songs was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. This is the result and its it lovely..... Its taken me a while to be able to sew them together and to quilt and bind it - I needed to wait for the right time Yes it was sad but also so very healing and it is one very special quilt that will hold a very special place in my heart Thank you to each and every one of the SCQuilters who made me a block Your love shines through Also PS the fabric I used as the borders and the backing fabrics were mums as was the label panel - that felt right
