This and that .... and I still need some PIF buddies

I have been finishing up my teapot swap and here's a sneak peek

I have 2 lap quilts that need the binding sewn on and I am almost finished Lynette Anderson's Noah's Ark. Things are taking a little longer this week because everything I am sewing together is mathematically challenging me. I think I've done more ripping out than actual sewing. Did you ever have a project like that?
I still need some PIF buddies - if you'd like to participate let me know!

For all my good intentions about finishing up UFO's I have gotten myself in deep with some of the BOM's and other things I want to try out there. Here are some things I have been working on:

And the winner is . . . . . .

Thank you to everyone who visited me for my give-away and for the comments. I loved reading about your UFO's It seems like many of us started quilts or projects when we had babies and still have those unfinished. It's no wonder some of those didn't get done. A few people have no UFO's - they are my heroes.
And the winner is: (chosen randomly by DS)

100+ post give-away

I am a little late in celebrating my 100 post give-away. I have been worried about my disorganized ways and spent the first two weeks of the New Year - not doing any sewing until my sewing room was better organized. I gathered all my quilt tops waiting to be finished and here is that result





I also have a few other UFO's - and apparantly this is not a new problem for me, but a lifelong habit - I found this recently - my first and oldest UFO from when I was 9!!! Which makes it 30 some years old.



In honor of my procrastinating ways I am giving away (to a randomly chosen commenter) this fat quarter bundle and someother nifty things.
All you have to do is send me a comment telling me how old is your oldest UFO. If you don't have any UFO's that's okay (we won't hold it against you) you may still comment. I will close this give-away at 5:00pm (EST) Friday February 6th. Maybe I'll spent my week finishing my 30 year old UFO.


And by the way I still need 3 people who would like to participate in a Pay It Forward so if you would like to join in - let me know (read January 8th's post for more information)
