I wonder who else has an unfinished Christmas project..... I seem to have a few...
Joy has put out a challenge specifically for a Christmas UFO - you can read about it HERE... I seem to get things done when I sign up to a challenge or sew-a-long so I thought I would join in.....
One of my Christmas UFO's is this bunch of blocks that I received a few years ago doing a Christmas block swap. I want to make each block into place mats ..... there are at least 12 but I'm not sure I will get them all done - the challenge is for 2 so I will work on that for a start ....
I just need to find some pieces to go along the sides to make them rectangle shape - I am going to use up scraps as much as I can....... they may not end up the most beautiful but they will be functional!
Once again there is a big mess on the table.... sorting scraps kindof does that?????
The weekends hand sewing has resulted in a couple of birds being stitched up
... more from Michelle's Christmas ornament stitcheries....
Righto, Gotto Go.... I want to at least have the top of the blocks ready by the end of the day....
It looks like you are having a lot of fun in your sewing room. Love Michelle's designs, especially the owl. Too cute! Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteI know i have a lot to finish and start and not sure what i can finish and it is going to make me nuts, lol.
ReplyDeleteI honestly have to start early and work all year if I ever want to have things for me and enough gifts;)

Cute Christmas Stitcheries by Michelle.
That's a good idea, I have a collection of Christmas blocks from way back ago that need to be used up. Love the stitcheries, I will probably do mine for next year!
ReplyDeleteHi my lovely friend ,what a great idea this challenge is and i love Michelle cute design's,your stitcheries look lovely,well done Fiona xx
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your busy table :)
ReplyDeleteKeeping busy, I see! I'm working on my Christmas UFO, but I don't think I can get it finished for this year. Progress is being made, however.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea finishing up Christmas UFO's! Good luck with the placemats.
ReplyDeleteHave fun finishing off those Christmas UFO's...you'll get there!
ReplyDeleteYour UFOs will make great placemats! So bright and fun. And the busy fabrics will hide a lot of spilled and dribbled food, ha ha! Very important when the grandkids are visiting :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Fiona a xmas ufo challenge. I probably have dozen or two at least lol. Love Michelle's little Aussie ornaments. I do have them traced ready to stitch
ReplyDeleteYour placemats are going to be beautiful, I know! I couldn't sleep last night thinking about all the things I had to do, and ended up sorting out scraps like you :) Had a hot chocolate and then headed for bed and fell asleep (oh, and found some more ufos -aaarrrrggghhhh!!) I'm heading close to the 200 mark now!!! xx
ReplyDeleteI'd be ashamed to post a picture of my work table! Good luck with your challenge! I don't have any Christmas UFOs this year. XO
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your block plans and the embroideries look great.
ReplyDeleteMy sewing room looks much the same when I am searching for bits. Your stitcheries look lovely.
