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.

Comment by QuiltDragon on November 16, 2009 at 5:23pm - Nice job Trudy! This group really does give us encouragement to finish and thank you to the monthly challenge discussion starters. We may not complete our pieces, but we certainly do get some work done!

Comment by Trudy/WI on November 16, 2009 at 1:43pm - I just remembered I belonged to this group and have been forgetting to post about finishing my UFO's! I think so far this year, since I joined in May, I have completed four UFO's. I did post a picture of a couple on my site, Mr Benjamin's Zoo and Happy Dance, but forgot to get the others on there. One I donated to the Salvation Army, it was one I was orignally trying to sell the quilt top but then recently decided to finish and was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with it. My sister works there and I asked her to take a picture of it for me because I forgot to and she was in a hurry.

Good point Collette - although left-handedness is something I find interesting, we are here at Karens' UFO group to talk quilting.
I'm going to Lake Havasu, AZ in January - you may have seen ads about "Quilting at the Lake" in your local quilt shop (I have). One of the classes I'll be taking is about deciding on a quilting design and one of the items on the class list is "Quilt tops - several". So many of my UFO's are completed quilt tops. Sounds like this class could help me dive into that box of completed tops and start moving on with them.

Comment by Sognstitcher Lana/MN on November 14, 2009 at 11:54am - Hah! As a righty, I can't imagine having my machine any other way. The jokes on us. I have 3 Singer Featherweights and they are so user friendly. What a deal.

- Your right Cheri the newer machines have the eye of the needle facing you. But, the arm still goes from right to left. You still have to feed your project from the left. Now, here is the X-file thought, why can't I being left handed still do such awful work home machine quilting? See it's a brain thing or talent, or what? My excuse for doing hand quilting over machine quilting just doesn't fly! Boo Woo!

Comment by Cheri on November 14, 2009 at 10:23am
- I remember that! My mother had a Singer (in a cabinet) and threading the needle was from left to right. At that time I wasn't interested in sewing. Imagine my confusion many years later when I got a sewing machine and the eye of the needle was positioned completely different!

Comment by Sunshine/Mi on November 14, 2009 at 10:16am - LOL thanks for the info, Collette... it was all news to me.

- Before you all start crying into your pin cushions, and feeling sorry for us lefties, stop and think Singer was left handed. Your sewing machines are ALL left handed. Look at the older ones and you had to thread them left to right. Sew! Thank you all you righties that have put up with left handed sewing machines and STILL DO!
