    Red face UFO Hall of Shame

    ~Confession time, what's your biggest, deep, dark secret, unfinished project?
    Mine is the baby quilt I started for my niece over two years ago. She turned one in January and I still have to quilt and bind the borders. Maybe she can still use it for a doll quilt? ~

    I have a dollhouse I started 19 years ago when my best friend conceived and discovered it would be a girl.

    Maybe it can be a graduation present?

    WTG ladies - I'm still working on the Hawaiian quilt I started over 24 years ago - at least it's to the hand quilting stage - which I hope to finish this year and have yet to start!!

    I crochet, don't sew. But I have NO UFO's.

    A month or so ago I frogged every last one of them, and now I have lots of lovely balls of yarn.

    Ok. That's cheating....

    I have a quilt that I started over 5 years ago for me. Just painted my bedroom, so it matches now, so I suppose I should get sewing.

    Hahaha! I was going to say the same thing, only I started my Hawaiian quilt over thirty years ago. I've been thinking all winter I should haul that thing out and finish it. It's never going to be a thing of beauty, so I could just as well get it done and use it.

    Really want some of the UFOs out of the sewing room...

    Besides that, I want the living room/screen porch/front deck project finished, especially the wiring so the gas heating stove can be hooked up and used after six years. Ditto the T&G knotty pine and trim in the living room.

    I want to finish up the little jobs left on our kitchen remodel we did this winter.

    One is a baby doll I'm making from scratch for my DGD. It's only been about 4 years in the making. The doll is done, except for the hair. I need to make clothes for it. I'm going to use my old clothes to make clothes for it. That's what's keeping me back. I have to make the patterns for it because I made the pattern for the doll.

    I also have a baby afghan I started when I was a teenager. It was going to be for my hope chest. However, I don't have any children of my own. I bet the yarn is pretty rotten. I could finish it now and see. It's my own pattern and it's a pain. LOL!

    I have multiple cross stitch projects that I have started and not finished. One of them, I have just to finish the backstitching. Another one, I have started sorting the floss.

    I did have one project, my very first one, that took from the age of 14 to age 32 to finish. I ran out of one color and then it got packed away. I finally got it out of storage, matched the color as best I could and finished it while expecting my first baby.

    I finished a crewel picture of birds on a feeder today. I bought it several years ago at a rummage sale for a quarter, and it was so close to done at that time it could have been hung on the wall and no one would have noticed it wasn't finished. Why did it take me years to finish it? I couldn't stand looking at it in my sewing room anymore so I finished it today. Of course it'll take another ten years to get around to framing it. It's on stretcher bars though so we put it on the wall already.

    Next up, the wolf howling at the moon I started beading on midnight blue velvet about ten years ago.

    Therug I started in highschool my senior year. I graduated in 1972!

    This has gone so long I don't know where the wool is to finish it/don't care. But I DO have a dear friend I was maybe going to make a rug, and she's VERY sensitive to things outgassing, etc. so I was contemplating taking the thing apart (if I still have it?) and using the rug canvas over.
