What this group is about

I don’t know about you, but I have too many things started. Join me in my quest to get finish what I’ve started. The deal is, for every 2 projects I finish, I get to reward myself by starting something new. You can make your own rules, or give the group ideas for new rules as we go. I think it’ll be fun to ask this group for advice on what project to wrap up next, show my progress with photo’s, get motivation from each other when I want to break my own agreement (trust me, I am weak willed when it comes to new projects).

1. No purchase necessary
2. Timeframe: this is an ongoing group with no defined end time.
3. If you are not a member of our Quilt with Us Community yet, click the "Signup and Join" box in the upper-right corner. Once you're a member, you will see a green plus sign and a link to "Join Karen's UFO Quilt Along" in the upper-right of the group page. Clicking on the link will allow you to join this Quilt Along.
4. Post questions, project feedback, and pictures of your progress. NEW To show your finished UFO in this slideshow, If you have finished a UFO, post a picture to your own photos, add a "tag" in all lower case. The tag should be " ufo" (don't type the quotation marks). I'll troll regularly and add them as I see them! Note, the slideshow only holds 100 photos and our industrious group has passed that number! As I add new projects, I am deleting the oldest. Now we can all applaud our progress more easily.
5. Cheer on your fellow quilters as you go!
6. TUFO - means Tuesday UFO - those of us interested try to make a small dent in whatever UFO we are working on. Tuesday is simply the day the Connecting Threads gals get together to sew and craft...you can make it any day you like, but we got a kick out of the title. Once in awhile we can't make it on Tuesday so we move it to Wednesday - yup WUFO. Report here what you are planning to work on, then the next day, let us all know how you did. Nothing is required, it's just for fun.

Good job Pam!

My progress is only about unpacking.  I moved to a new place Memorial Day weekend and thanks to some fantastic friends, got all the essentials unpacked right away (bedroom, living/dining rooms kitchen, bathrooms).  But my sewing room/guest bed space was stacked to the rafters with boxes.  I got much of it organized and unpacked this weekend - I can now sew in there AND had an overnight guest already, a knitty friend - woohoo!

Congratulations Pam!  How lovely!  And it wasn't even your UFO, technically.

I also use Ameribags.  I have a black faux suede for Autumn and Winter and a beige canvas one for the other 2 seasons.  Both machine wash so well.  Although I made a mini bow tucks bag in a class a number of years back and I use it in Summer because it is so light!

Another UFO is now a quilt!. Another quilter was getting rid of her UFOs back in 2009 and I ended up with a set of 15 blocks.  Earlier this spring I made another 5 to make a small lap quilt.  Last week I quilted it and I finished the binding Saturday.

Thanks! Personally I like the concept of bags, but I'm essentially lazy.  I seldom change my purse out.  I bought an AmeriBag about 14 years ago and carried it everywhere until I wore it out, then I bought another one. Several years ago I made two mini charmer bags - a niece got one and i  carried the other one for a month or so-- but w/no zipper and only a 2" tab to "close" the purse I wasn't too fond of it.

  • It is a really lovely bag Pam, I keep patterns for bags but with Spondylosis in my neck I was advised to stop using shoulder bags and have made a couple but my DD,s got them. Well done

Earlier this month I mentioned I finished the bag for my niece which was supposed to be Christmas 2011 gift.  Instead she got it for her 16th birthday today.  I've just written a blog post with detail pictures links to the patterns I used.  It can be seen on my blog HERE.
