This is the quilt I donated for Project Night Night. The Chicago Modern Quilt Guild just finished a service project to benefit PNN. I also made a matching turtle, but I forgot to snap a photo. I started this quilt over 3 years ago before I bought my new sewing machine. It was supposed to be for a friend's grandson. Yeah, it became a UFO.... I'm happy that I finished it up and it will be going to someone who can really use it and take comfort from it.
I also finished two of these little red vests. One for my nephew and one for his friend (the son of a guy I my brothers and I grew up with).... for their patches from Cub Scouts. The parents had bought some vests, from someone, I'm not really sure who... but the were very poorly constructed! They were made of felt, which wouldn't be a problem but they weren't even cut straight! So, Aunt Sally to the very slow rescue. I think they asked me about doing these sometime around Thanksgiving :( Anyway, they are done now!
It's nice to cross a few lingering items off of my list so that I can move on to a few others.
Up next.... I need to work on a project that I am testing. I haven't even taken it out of the package yet, so I'm not totally sure what it is, to be honest!

Nice finishes!! I love that PNN made us pull some unfinished works from our closets to finish! Also, I have one of those mystery projects to test too... eek! :)
great finishes! would have loved to see your turtle...
I think you should write us a long list of all your UFO's and then tick things off as you go along. Then it'll make me feel much better about my massive long list :)
Beautiful quilt. So soft looking and I know whomever gets it will feel the love in it.
Isn't it tragic how crappy commercial clothing is made? Steve bought a pair of dress pants and within a couple of weeks I had to fix the back seam AND rehem one leg. :-(
Always nice to see you. What a treat.
Those vests will be wonderful. So sturdy and well made. I know the boys will love them. :)
PS - did you use a pattern or are you [I'm sure] just that talented.
Wait. don't answer that. I already know. :)
